Work your inner thighs
March 7, 2009
Having a perfectly toned body is highly desirable. We all want to show off our flat stomachs, well defined arms and shapely legs. But achieving it is not an easy process. Most people try to spot reduce, when in all actuality you need to work the entire body while incorporating specific exercises for the part of your body that you really want to focus on.
A regime of a healthy diet and exercise can result in that perfect body. Following are some exercises to help shape your inner thighs that you can incorporate into your workout routine. By following these exercises, you will be on your way to having lean, shapely legs.
The first exercise to do is both an exercise and a warm up stretch. It’s called The Butterfly. Sit on the floor with your back straight and your knees bent to the sides with the bottoms of your feet touching each other. Place your hands on your ankles and hold the pose. The butterfly stretch will stretch out your inner thighs.
To do an Elastic Band stretch, take a large elastic band and connect it to something sturdy. With the other end, wrap it around your leg towards your ankle. Stand far away from where you wrapped the other end of the elastic band. Bring your leg in and out across your body. Repeat with three sets of ten. Do the same exercise with both legs.
Start the Outer Thigh Lift by lying on your left side. Hold yourself steady with your left forearm on the floor. Bend your bottom leg and extend your top leg in front of you at a forty-five degree angle. Raise your top leg off the ground and hold in the air. Bring it back down without touching the ground. Raise and lower your leg ten times with your right leg and then switch sides and repeat with your left leg. Complete three sets on each leg.
When doing the Inner Thigh Firmer again lie on your left side. Cushion your head with your arm. Keep your entire body straight. Bend your top leg and let it fall in front of you on the floor. Your bottom leg should remain straight. Raise your bottom leg into the air, hold and lower without touching the ground. Do ten repeats with each leg. Complete three sets on each side.
The last exercise is the Pillow Firmer. Lie on your back with a pillow securely placed between your calves. Squeeze both thighs together against the pillow. Hold for a few seconds and repeat ten times.
