Diana.... lay on the floor on your left side.....legs bent at the knee....straighten out the right leg and LIFT only about 6' in the air.....repeat 8 times....then bend that knee and bring into your chest....and stretch it straight again....repeat 8 times. Now using the same leg bring the knee over to touch the floor in front of you....repeat 8 times. Then do it all again with the other leg.... Lie on your back.... and lift legs one at a time just off the ground and HOLD for count of 8 lower .....then both together...hold and lower.... GOOD CLASS.....Thanks girls.....don't forget your stretches afterwards.....or you will ache in the morning!!!!! Jacquie xxx

YES I CAN SEE THE ADDs (emphasis, not screaming!X) Daisy, where is this loose muscle you need to tighten in 10 days??? Just interested, cos' I dont see any lumps in your photos! Seriously though, swimming is the best. AND better than swimming.....is treading water in the pool. HONESTLY, I would not lie to you. Deanna XXX

How many of us will be doing our pelvic floor exercises tomorrow whilst propping up the bar? lol You're right Diana. I'm walking everywhere but the thighs are not benefitting. Shall have to look up callenetics but that sounds interesting and Mandy's hint about lifting legs off the ground whilst sitting at the pc is great. It does hurt! I have to work 10 days at a time or I'll give up. Plus I'm hoping that the exercise will become really addictive just like the pc. Got any I can do whilst I'm ironing and watching the tennis? Paul, feel free to make rude comments! lol Daisy

Jaquie You know that funny expression you were talking about............. see what you mean!!!!!!!!! LOL Mandy

Mandy.....Pelvic floor exercise is also good for you B*m!!!! Come on girls....one, two, three, lift!!! Jacquie xxxx

Daisy.... this made me giggle!! Paul H.... yes I can imagine matey!! But if anyone finds something that works please let me know.... cos the steps in China didn't work on that area!! :O)

I've tried Mandy but it's not easy to do them without a funny expression on your face :))

CB - Got the package ;-)

Just your thighs Chrissie? LOL Mandy (now bouncing up and down clenching her buttocks!!!!!)

I really don't think that I could bring myself to do them in public, however discreet, I'd have a fit of the giggles.......... LOL Mandy

Ok - own up - how many of us are now sitting here excercising our thighs:)) In my case though I think it may be a lost cause:))

Mandy....and you can do those while sitting down.....or standing at the bus stop apparently!!!!! A good one for thighs while sitting down......just sit straight back in the chair and lift both feet of the floor....hold for as long as possible.....feel that burn girls!!!!! Jacquie xxx

Actually bearing in mind the amount of time a lot of us spend sat at the computer I think Oleander is on the right track........... And if we pay a bit of attention to the pelvic floor girls we won't have so many PMSL on here.......... LOL Mandy

Daisy, Sorry I jumped all over your thread. The stretches that footballers and gymnasts do are good for the inner thighs. Think it will take more than 10 days, though. Gwynne

a serious answer is to do upside down sit ups (if you know what i mean!) you have no idea how hard it is for me not to make a naughty comment about this one! lol!

Callenetics really works if you do the excercises properly...lots of repeats but very small movements...used to do it years ago... Jacquie xxxx

That was odd - I added the yes to Gwynne and it didn't come up straight away, then suddenly appeared:))

Thanks Mandy will try that. Daisy

Sorry Daisy also meant to say (seeing as it is your thread!!) anything that you have to use a lot of pressure to squeeze between the knees works the outer thigh and forcing things apart with your knees works the inner thigh.............. if you get my drift!! :-) Mandy

Gwynne - Yes
