Top 5 Inner Thigh Exercises
~ Best Thigh Exercises ~
There are several inner thigh exercises you can do to tone up and get sexy thighs, but in order to lose fat on your inner thighs you need
to eat right and lose body fat all over.
If your thighs are rubbing together then you need to lose body fat in order to reduce the fat from your inner thighs.
The best thigh exercises are NOT going to help you lose any fat on your inner thighs. These inner thigh exercises will help to strengthen your
inner thigh muscles while contributing to proper posture.
A lot of times the outer thigh gets worked the most while the inner thigh gets neglected. In order to have balanced muscles, you have to work
both.
The purpose of the inner thigh muscles (hip adductors) is to help keep your hip joint stabilized. These are the muscles that pull your leg
in towards the other leg and across the centerline of your body while also rotating your legs.
These muscles are used for things such as walking, running, inline skating, etc. Having strong inner thigh muscles helps to strengthen your
knees and keeping them protected during any physical activity.
You can see that while these muscles normally get neglected, they're just as important as other muscles of your body. If you want a strong
stable body, work ALL your muscles. To get nice, sexy thighs...do the right inner thigh exercises to strengthen these muscles and remember
to lose overall body fat to lose any fat on your inner thighs.
Top 5 Inner Thigh Exercises
- Inner Thigh Lift:
• Lay on your right side with your body straight.

• Slowly lift your right foot about 8 to 12 inches off the ground towards the ceiling.
• Lower your foot back to the starting position, barley letting your foot touch the floor.
• Repeat, then switch to the other side (you can add an ankle weight to increase the resistance).

- Box Push:
• Place a box on the floor with books or something in it to add some weight (a kitchen or tiled floor would be easiest).
• Stand behind the box and using the inner part of one of your feet, push the box to the side about 4 or 5 times across the floor.
• Repeat on the other leg.
- Band Circles:
• Lay on your back with legs straight.
