Exercise
for leg
Trimm
those legs: Here are a few simple exercises to improve
calves, thighs and leg muscles
To
improve calves
Stand absolutely straight with your hands on your
hips and your legs together. Now keep your spine straight
and bend only the knees until you assume a squatting
position. Hold it there to the count of four and rise
slowly, keeping your spine as straight as possible.
Repeat this exercise at least ten times.
To
slim your thighs
firstly lie flat on the floor and then draw your knees
up towards your chest. Now push your legs up in the
air and keep them as straight as you can. Slowly start
moving your legs as if you are riding a bicycle. Do
this about 5-6 times and then repeat the movements
at a fast speed for another 5-6 times. Repeat the
whole routine 5-6 times, including the slow and fast
movements.
To
improve leg muscles
firstly sit straight in a chair. Your back should
be absolutely erect. Keep your feet on the floor and
slowly stretch your legs out as far as is possible.
The feet and knees should be together. Now raise your
legs until your feet are off the floor and your knees
are completely straight. Keeping this position, bend
the feet towards you, pushing your heels out as far
as possible and then point the toes down as much as
you can. Do both these movements about six times each.
Now relax. For the next step, raise your feet once
again, and keeping them together, turn them outwards
until the soles support each other. Then turn them
inwards until the ankles and big toe joints touch
each other. Repeat each of these movements six times
and relax.

Care
tips for leg & Feet
Heard of an inexpensive, natural, home made waxing
tehinique!!!
Waxing
or shaving too often can result in gooseflesh or ugly
goosebumps that spoil the shape of legs. Do this massage
more often. Start at the ankles and work your way
towards the top of the thighs with a rotary action
using lots of soap. Then wash. Dry your legs with
a towel using a strong upward motion from your feet.
Then massage in a good hand and body lotion or baby
oil while the skin is still warm and the pores are
open, so that the skin gets well nourished. Concentrate
a bit more on the knees and rough heels, as these
require more attention.
Soak
feet for 10 minutes in warm water to which salt has
been added. Remove and scrub dry, especially between
the toes. This is the easiest way to relax tired feet.
In the case of a sprain add Epsom salt to the water
for best results.
Mix a few drops of lemon juice in vaseline and apply
gently on cracked heels.
