The Warm Up
Always warm up your body and most specifically the muscles you're planning to exercise. Any warm-up routine will do. The important thing is to stretch out your various muscle groups. You may warm up using your thigh master by holding it straight out in front of you, slowly flexing partially to the point where you are beginning to feel a little strain. Keeping the tension, raise the thigh master over your head, then straight out in front of you, and down toward the ground. At the same time, warm up your lower body as if you were preparing to sit, then straighten up again. Continue this routine for a few minutes.
Exhale on the contraction phase of the rep, when the resistance is the greatest. Then on the release phase, inhale. Rhythmic and regular breathing will help you achieve the results you're after. Most important, don't hold your breath!
There a number of exercises you can do with the thigh master. Here are a few examples:
1. Inner Thighs
This is the exercise that made the thigh master famous. You will need a straight-backed chair and a thigh master.
Sit forward on the chair so your thighs can move freely, and place your feet together. Hold the thigh master between your knees, making certain that the yellow cap is pointing down.
Place one hand over each handle to hold the thigh master in place. Now use your thighs to SQUEEZE the handles together.
2. Chest & Breasts
Hold the thigh master with the end of the yellow cap facing your chin, handles pointed down toward the floor. Place both hands just below the cap with your forearms resting against the handles. Now SQUEEZE the handles, pressing your elbows as close together as possible and keeping them raised at shoulder level. Resist the return!
3. Upper Body
This exercise is a good way to work almost all of your upper body muscles. Continue flexing the coil while you slowly raise and lower the thigh master. Each position exercises a different upper body muscle group. Move rhythmically from one position to the other in each rep. This can be done quickly or slowly, and for a more intense workout to the chest hold your arms further out in front of you. Always keep pressure on the coil, though you can ease up slightly as you begin to tire. Be sure to press with the “heels” of your hands.
4. Stomach (the crunch)
Lie back on the floor, with your knees bent and together, and your feet flat on the floor. Now place the thigh master so that one handle is about midway down your thighs, and the other is up in front of your face, cap pointing up. Now, lift your shoulders just a few inches off the ground, curling your upper body toward your lap. Press your lower back into the floor, holding your tummy in. Exhale as you lift; inhale as you lay back down.
The bottomline is the thigh master is a great resistance training product because it is effective, inexpensive, takes very little time, and it's easy to make up your own routines.
The Cool Down
At the end of your exercise routine, simply slow down your intensity level for about 3-5 minutes while you stretch out the muscles you've been working. This step is important for your overall health and fitness. Stretching actually shapes the muscle and eases the stress on the joints. Stretching after a workout lengthens the muscles that have contracted during the workout and helps to maintain a natural yet toned appearance. After your workout, stretch the muscles you've used in all directions. Also concentrate on the waist, upper and lower leg (half way between the knee and the hip), the inner and outer thigh, and the hamstrings.
