M.O.M.s Moves: Thigh Dancing!

Work it Wednesday: This week we will take a closer look at Thigh Dancing!

One of the simplest and most effective moves, thigh dancing is also one of the most challenging exercises. Once you master this move, it will tone those quads and firm your inner thighs. We love this move at  M.O.M.s Method because not only does it work on those legs, but it also trims your waistline and helps create that long lean M.O.M.s physique!

There are two main versions of thigh dancing:

In version #1 you begin on your knees, then slowly lean back until you feel your quadriceps start to burn! From there, you can tuck, tilt and lean until you sculpt those perfect legs!


Make sure you are contracting your abs the entire time so that your whole body move back as one, being careful not to hinge back from the hips or arch your spine.

In version #2, sit all the way back on your heels, knees hip width apart, then lift and lower in inch up  and down, never coming back down onto your heels! From there, try lifting those hips from left to right, circle, and  tuck to the center! Arms can  be in prayer, at your hips, or added in coordinating moves such as pushing towards the ceiling.

 

Keep your torso upright (be careful not to lean forward!) core engaged, and keep that seat off those heels!

Now that you have mastered Thigh Dancing, get ready to slip into those jeans and love your long sculpted M.O.M.s Method legs! 

If you have any questions about this move or any other, just ask a M.O.M.s Instructor and we would love to help!

 

As always, lots of M.O.M.s Love!
