At Home Toned Thighs Workout // No Equipment

At Home Toned Thighs Workout // No Equipment is another great lower body finisher workout from Heather Robertson. There is no warm up and it’s short–only 19 minutes. The perfect length to tack onto the end of a longer workout. This is a body weight strength workout. It is also cardio + strength. The cardio moves work the same muscle groups you just worked in the strength exercises that came before it. This was thoroughly enjoyable. I had just finished one of Heather’s very tough and longer (40 minutes) lower body workouts: Killer Leg Day–which is killer if you are using heavy dumbbells, and I was. So it is was actually very nice to finish it off with a workout that uses no dumbbells.

At Home Toned Thighs Workout // No Equipment is 19:08 minutes; no warm up and 2 minute stretch. Equipment: fitness mat. This workout is done interval style. Each exercise is done for 30 seconds followed by a 10 seconds recovery. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen, counting down your intervals and recoveries. During the recovery Heather previews the next exercise.
