8 Exercises For Toning Inner Thighs
Wondering how to look sexy in your skirts, dresses, and shorts this summer? The result of toning inner thighs during your workouts is incredible for your legs. Get ready for summer by incorporating these exercises into your fitness for strong, gorgeous legs.
8 Exercises For Toning Inner Thighs
Straddle To Lunge
Stand in a slight straddle with your knees facing slightly outward. Put all your weight on your left leg, and then kick your right leg out to the side. Transfer the weight to your right leg as you go into a lunge with your right leg bent and your left leg straight out to the side. Push off your right leg to put the weight back on your left leg and end back in the standing straddle. Lunges are awesome for toning inner thighs!
Sumo Squat
Stand in a straddle with your knees facing outward. Lower down into a deep squat, keeping your chest up, booty tucked under, and knees out to the side. Hold the squat for 10 seconds, then stand back up. When toning inner thighs, it’s important to have proper form, so you should make sure you have the correct straddle-stand. When you squat, your knees should be directly over your ankles.
Side Leg Lifts
Lay down on your left side with your right leg bent over your left thigh. Lift your left leg as high as you can and hold for 5 seconds, and then lower back down. To do the other side, lay down on your right side and repeat using the opposite leg. Repeat 15 times on each leg.
Squeezes
Lay on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Put a ball, pillow, or yoga block between your knees. Lift your hips until there is a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Squeeze the ball between your knees for 1 minute. Repeat the move 3 times, or more, for toning inner thighs more intensely.
Straddle Drops
Lie on your back with your legs and feet straight up in the air in a pike shape. Make sure your feet are directly above your hips. Let your legs fall into the biggest straddle possible, and then pull them back together as fast as you can. Try to keep your legs straight. Repeat 15 times.
Pilates
A great activity for toning inner thighs is pilates. It uses your whole body to tone muscles that sometimes receive less attention during workouts, such as the inner thighs. The Beachbody PiYo Workout is an awesome blend of yoga and pilates that is an intense way of toning inner thighs.
The trick to toning inner thighs is incorporating exercises that target those muscles in your workouts. Do you have any exercises for toning inner thighs that you love? Go ahead and leave a comment, I’d love to hear all about it!
