Glute, Hip and Thigh Exercises

Seated outer thigh taps are a great way to work the outer thighs and hips from a seated position. You can use a resistance band loop or tie a regular band around the mid-thigh to create resistance. You'll want to keep tension on the band throughout the movement, so don't tie it too loose.

1. Sit tall in a chair or on a ball and tie a resistance band around the mid-thighs so that there's tension when the legs are slightly apart.
2. Take the right foot out, as though you're stepping to the side (while still seated) and tap the floor.
3. Bring the right foot back and take the left foot out to the side, tapping the floor.
4. Continue alternating tapping the right and left foot out to the side for 16-20 reps.
5. Keep the abs engaged throughout the movement and try to keep the non-working leg stable as the other leg moves.
