Unpack your saddlebags!

You can tone your outer thighs with side leg lifts.

And you can do it standing at the kitchen counter, pumping gas, stirring the soup, waiting in line, or almost anywhere!

Simply stand up tall and lift your right leg straight out to the side a few feet, then lower it back down. Most important: use your thigh muscles, not momentum, to make the movement. Keep it slow and controlled; no swinging. If you’re having trouble keeping your balance, place your left hand on the back of a chair or another stationary object. Repeat the lift 15 times on one side, then switch to the other side. Hi-ho Saddlebags, Away!
