Former ballet dancer and TV personality Yoon Hye-jin recently revealed a ballet-inspired lower body exercise she says helps create toned legs and a lifted glute line.
On her YouTube channel, "Yoon Hye-jin’s What See TV," she shared a home workout routine focused on strengthening the inner thighs and improving hip shape through ballet basics.
“Learning proper form from the beginning is important if you want smooth, elegant leg lines,” Yoon said. “I’ll show you a lower body routine using ballet movements that target the deep muscles of the legs and improve the hip line. It’s based on basic exercises that ballerinas practice every day.”
The first move she introduced was the grand plie pulse, a deeper variation of the ballet plie in which the knees bend outward while the body lowers further toward the floor. The move is designed to strengthen the inner thighs.
“Beautiful leg lines come from building the inner thigh muscles,” Yoon explained. “If the outer thigh muscles become overly bulky, the legs can look uneven and lumpy.”
To do the exercise, stand with your feet turned outward in a frog-like stance and bend your knees while keeping your torso upright. From there, pulse your hips up and down in short, controlled movements for one minute.
Yoon emphasized several key points:
– Keep the pelvis and spine upright.
