Microwave Fitness ™ #5- Thigh Toner

Welcome to the newest Microwave Fitness™ blog article. My hope for you is to help you find better ways to use those spare minutes in your busy day to look & feel better.

Here's how it works.

While you are microwaving your lunch, instead of being bored, focus on fitness. Microwave Fitness exercises will improve your muscle tone and circulation, improve your energy level, help your concentration, and help you relax from your day's stress. You won't work up a sweat, so you won't need a shower afterwards. You'll just feel better and you'll soon notice you look better too.

Most lunches take from 2 to 7 minutes to heat up. If you have a 2 minute lunch, pick your favorite microwave fitness workout. If you have a 5-7 minute lunch, you can do 2 or 3 workouts! They are quick, fun & easy and each one focuses on a different muscle group.
