Obtaining your summer body will take some hard work and discipline but it can be easy if you have a plan. Our favourite local girls are not shy to show off their bodies and it’s clear that they put in the work required.
Here are some exercises to do while home to help you get your Boity, Bonang or Minnie legs.
Bonang Matheba
She is, indeed, queen of it all including great legs.
Exercise: Walking lunges
Thigh muscles targeted: Glutes (Buttocks), Hamstrings (Back thigh muscles)
Starting position: Stand upright with your feet together and your arms up in a v-shape.
The movement: Keeping your arms in the air, take a large step forward while keeping your hips in line with your shoulders. Lower your body to the floor by bending back the knees and stop when your front thigh is parallel (in line) to the ground. Hold that position for a few seconds then push upward through your front heel and bring your front foot back next to your back leg and stand upright again. Alternate legs and do 15 repetitions of these on each leg.
Tip: Always keep your shoulders and hips aligned.
Boity
Boity has shown us how she has transformed her body and we are loving it.
Exercise: Side-lying leg lift
Thigh muscles targeted: Inner thighs
Starting position: Lye on your side with the leg you’re lying on straight and the top leg bent in front of it with your knee and heel touching the floor. Rest your head on your arm or on your hand.
The movement: Lift your bottom leg up as you breathe out and back down when you breathe in. Keep your upper body still while moving your leg. Do 10 repetitions then switch to the other leg.
Minnie Dlamini
We can’t help but stare at Minnie’s hot body as she enjoys her holidays.
Exercise: Side lunge
Thigh muscles targeted: Inner thighs, muscles on your hips, glutes and hamstring
Starting position: Stand up straight with your legs together and your hands on your hips.
The movement: Take a large step with your right foot to the right side and bend your knee into a lunge. Keeping your left leg straight, make sure your right knee is in line with your toes when you lunge then move back to starting position. Do three sets of 10 on each leg.
