Standing Leg Lifts with Resistance
Standing leg lifts may seem quite simple. All you do is stand next to a chair or wall for support and lift one leg at a time to the front, side, and back. This is a nice stretch for your legs, but to really tone and build thigh muscles you need a resistance band.
Place a resistance band around your legs just below the knee and then attempt to lift each leg to the front, to the side, and to the rear. The resistance band makes your legs work to get to a different position. The location of the band targets which muscles will be used most. You can move the band up or down as you need.
