Who doesn’t want to look good during pregnancy? Pregnancy does not mean that you must be big. The tummy gets big prominently. But your thighs? Do you think your thighs are getting bigger too?
You might be gaining weight a little too much, and too rapidly, then pregnancy workouts are commonly advised. Workouts not only control your pregnancy weight but also make you feel great. And the bonus? You sleep better, you have lesser pains and aches, you feel energetic, and most importantly you have a faster labor and delivery.
If you have been thinking of ways to keep the thighs proper, then the first step is to stop getting conscious about the disproportionate weight gain. Stop bickering about it. You can invest about half an hour thrice a week into working out during pregnancy, specifically to reduce your thigh size. Here’s how you can do it.
The pregnancy thighs workout can be done through:
- 20 Reverse Lunges
- 20 Deadlifts
- 20 Squats
With each workout, you can rest and repeat the process once or twice.

- At the same time, you should also bend your front leg at an angle of 90 degrees.
- Try going as low as you can while keeping your hips in.
- Now raise yourself back and repeat the whole procedure. Come back up and then repeat.
- Repeat the same process on the other side too.
