Toning your belly and your thighs can be really difficult but once you have achieved that it will be really rewarding. That is why a lot of people are on the look out for the most effective steps on how to tone stomach and thighs. There are separate workouts that can be used to focus on your stomach and your thighs separately, but there are also some exercises that you can do which will help tone those two areas at the same time. In my opinion, those kinds of workouts are the best ones to do since they can save you a lot of time. Here are some of the most effective workouts for toning both the stomach and the thighs at the same time.

Lower-Tummy Firmer

This exercise is excellent for firming your belly and flattening it while toning your thighs at the same time. You will need a fitness ball for this exercise.

1. Lie down on the floor with your arms to your side. Take hold of the ball between your feet and raise your legs until it is on a 90 degree angle from your body.

2. Pull your lower belly towards your upper belly exhaling as you do so. The ball will lift up and down. Do that 10 to 12 times.

Tummy Flattener

This is another exercise that you can perform using a fitness ball. This is perfect for those who are just starting out to work on their tummy since they might not have the abdominal strength to use the more strenuous exercises.

1. Lie down on the floor and place your heels on top of the fitness ball. Make sure that your knees are bent. Place your hands towards your knees.

2. Exhale as you lift your shoulders upwards towards the ball. As you do so, the ball will move and so you need to use your leg muscles in order to keep it in place. Inhale as you lower your shoulders down and repeat for 10 to 12 times.

Waistline Trimmer

This exercise works on the side of your stomach and can help in slimming down your waistline too.

1. Lie down on your back, bend your knees and place your heels on top of the ball. Place your hands behind your back.

2. Exhale when you lift your left shoulder to the right side of your hip. When the ball starts to move away, use your leg muscles to keep it in place. Inhale when you lower you shoulder and then repeat on the other side. Go for 10 to 12 reps.

Thigh Blaster

This exercise will tone your buttocks and help keep the back of your thighs firm and strong.

1. Sit on the fitness ball and keep your knees bent and have your feet planted on the floor firmly. Move your feet as you lower your back against the ball. The trick is to keep your feet far enough to ensure that your thighs stay parallel to the floor. Use a jump rope and run it through your feet and grab hold of the two ends with your hands. Now start straightening and bending your knees. You can do this for 12 reps.

Doing exercises with a fitness ball to tone your tummy and thighs is not easy. These kinds of exercises make use of tons of little muscles that are called stabilizers, but they truly do offer the best results and more bang with your buck. What’s not to love about one exercise that targets both thighs and tummy to get them slimmer and firmer.
