Get Stunning Toned Legs - 5 Amazing Inner Thigh Exercises You Must Do
By Sigmund Kii




All of us want to look amazing; we all want smaller stomachs, slimmer arms, and toned thighs. However, getting one specific area to look good is quite difficult. If you only work one area, it's not going to show much results. Instead, you should be working your entire body while placing extra work on problem areas, such as your thighs. Here in this article, I will show you various inner thigh exercises that you can use. You should include these inner thigh exercises in your regular workout in order to see the best results.



Inner Thigh Exercises 1: Butterfly Stretching



This should be your first inner thigh exercise before you do anything else.
a. Sit down on a flat surface, and put the soles of your feet together in front of you. Drop you knees to the ground. You may begin ti feel your inner thighs stretching.
b. Wrap your hands around your feet to keep them together, and now bend your upper body down as far as you can (but don't overextend yourself).
c. Remain in the same position for a few seconds, then bring your body back up and repeat.
This should stretch your inner thighs effectively.



Inner Thigh Exercises 2: Thigh Squasher



a. Assume a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart.
b. Lower your self and squat down until both of your legs form a 90 degree angle. This will look as if you're sitting in a chair. Keep your back straight and your head up.
c. Hold it for about 5 or so seconds, then get back up and repeat.
Make sure that your knees are not past your toes as you are squatting; otherwise you're not bringing your glutes (butt) far enough towards the back.



Inner Thigh Exercises 3: Inner Thigh Lifts



a. Lie down on your side on a flat surface (such as the ground). Put a pillow or your arm under your head.
b. Take the foot of your top leg and bring it up front towards your hips. Rest it on the floor.
c. Now take your leg that's on the ground and extend it; keep it straight and raise it off the ground slowly.
d. Bring it up to about half a foot, then slowly lower it. However, do not let your leg touch the ground... when it's close to the ground, lift it again.
After your reps are completed, do it again with your other leg.



Inner Thigh Exercises 4: Outer Thigh Lift



a. Lie down on the ground on your right side. Using your right forearm, have it support you as you bring your upper body nearly upright.
b. Bend your right leg and extend your left leg in the front of it. Your left leg will be at a 45° angle.
c. Raise your left leg approximately 6 inches off the ground. Hold it for a count, then slowly bring it back down.
d. Before it touches the ground, repeat by lifting the leg again.



Inner Thigh Exercises 5: Pillow Firmer



a. Lie down on the ground on your back.
b. Take a pillow and place it centrally in between the lower part of your legs.
c. Using both legs, place as much pressure as you can on both sides of the pillow to squeeze it. Hold it for about 3-5 seconds.
d. Release it and then repeat.



Remember to include these inner thigh exercises in a large workout routine! Exercise regularly and have a healthy diet; within no time you'll have slimmer & toned thighs with a great looking body.
