YUMMY HAMMIES WITH DEAD LIFTS

Our legs have some of the biggest muscle groups, including our hammies...Our what ?!?!?  Hamstrings, silly!  You know, those 2 muscles on the back of your upper legs.  

You don't see them, but trust!  Someone will see them if you wear very short minis.

Here is an easy exercise you can perform at home:



Step 1


Put your feet shoulder width apart







Step 2
 

Grasp the weights with a firm grip.  Your arms are relaxed. 
Your back is arched and your torso bent over.
(Psss...Keep legs straight but do not lock knees.)







Step 3


Straighten torso, slowly, to vertical.
Exhale at the end and tilt you hips.
Your back and shoulders should be firm and fixed.







Step 4


Bend torso again to starting position.







Do 3 - 4 sets of 10 - 12 reps each.

Again, to prevent injury, do not go too heavy.







Looking good in a mini skirt starts with great legs; and great legs start with working out.  Get a start with this easy-to-do "Stiff-Legged Dead Lift".
