Microwave Fitness™ #5- Thigh Toner - High Intensity

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.

Put your hands on your waist. If you find you need a little help with your balance, gently rest one hand against a wall or table. Try not to put your weight on the hand, just use it to steady you.

Gradually work your way up to 20.
