Instructions for Using the Thigh Master

One of the most famous infomercials of all time features "Three's Company" star Suzanne Summers demonstrating how to use a ThighMaster. The ThighMaster uses resistance and repetition to build and strengthen muscles. You can use the ThighMaster for toning your whole body, not just your thighs.

Warm-Up

• Warm up your body by walking in place for a few minutes or doing some jumping jacks. You need to warm up your muscles to help prevent injury.

Inner Thighs

• Sit in a straight-back chair. Place your feet together with your knees apart. Place the ThighMaster with the yellow cap pointing down and the handles on the inside of your knees. Use your thighs to squeeze the handles together. Repeat the step adding more reps as you become stronger.

Chest and Breasts

• Stand up; hold the ThighMaster with the yellow cap facing your chin. With the handles pointing down and your arms resting on them, squeeze your elbows together. Return to starting position and repeat.

Upper Body

• With the handles in your hands, hold the ThighMaster away from your body. Squeeze the handles together using only your arms. You can place your arms in different positions to work different muscle groups. Overhead and straight out from your body are two example that work different muscles.

Triceps

• Standing up, hold the ThighMaster against your body. Keep one handle running down your leg and the other handle straight out from your body with your arm resting on the handle. Using your tricep--the muscle on the underside of your arm--push the handle down.

Stomach

• Lying on your back with your knees bent, place the ThighMaster between your legs with the yellow cap facing up. Hold the handle that is not between your legs in your hands. Using only your stomach muscles, sit up and squeeze the handles together.
