To begin, you simply have to exploit the accessibility of walking. It’s free, and we do it every single day. Simply ensure to fix your posture, and partake in 30-60 minutes of brisk walking a day, and your legs will look slimmed and toned in no time. Don’t forget to make sure you stretch and take care of your muscles. Do this by partaking in short Pilates sequences prior to your walk, check out Pilates guru Lynne Robinson’s programme here for effective results. After your workout, relieve your feet of any strain with a few foot exercises, taking care to stretch the arches. Carnation Footcare offer a PediRoller, designed to massage and relax your feet and can be found in Boots for £9.99. If, as is common among a lot of woman, you are conscious of varicose veins or cellulite, you can take preventative measures to make you feel as confident as ever. If varicose veins are your problem, target them with compression socks and stockings. These improve circulation, and help prevent swelling of feet and ankles which is most common with the warmer weather. Cellulite targets people of all ages and can be a common worry among women. Shona Wilkinson, nutritionist at SuperfoodUK.com, talks about fruit and vegetable smoothies being beneficial in targeting this problem, as well as ensuring to consume 1 1/2 to 2 litres of water a day.

 

Make the most of the sunshine while it lasts, and don’t hide your legs away this time around.
