For most women, inner thigh exercises are a way to attain the much-wanted thigh gap like a ballerina or a yoga master. This goal could be unrealistic because it depends on your body type. However, thighs are one of the most neglected areas of your body, and undergo almost zero physical activity.
But they can really benefit from some good exercise, which can keep them toned and in shape. Here are some effective exercises to strengthen your inner thighs and give them the toned look you are looking for.
The Top Inner Thigh Exercises You Can Try
Here is a look at the best thigh exercises for you – they are easy to learn, and easy to try. Even better, it’s an easy work out to try at home, and you don’t have to take too much time out of your busy schedule.
Plie Squats
Plie Squats are a great exercise for your inner legs and you don’t need any equipment. To perform this one, stand upright in a core stance with your toes pointing out. Take a stance as wide as you are comfortable with and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your upper body and pelvis straight.
Squeeze your glutes for a few seconds and return to the original position….and repeat.
Side Lunges with Kettlebell
Holding the kettlebell with arms extended downwards, take a standing position and then take a giant step towards the left with your left leg. Sit back slightly bending your left knee until the left thigh is parallel to the ground. Your right leg must be straight.
Wait for a moment, return to the original position and repeat with the right leg.
Ball Leg Lifts
This is an excellent toning exercise for your inner thighs and your core as it involves hard work keeping the ball in place and uses several muscles. For this exercise lie on the floor with arms crossed in front of your body and put a large exercise ball between your feet.
Using only your hips and glutes, slowly lift the ball up towards the ceiling and then return to original position.
Criss-cross Power Jacks
This exercise not only builds your thigh muscles, but it also engages the whole body and increases the heart rate. Start by standing with your feet together and take a deep breath in.
Exhale as you jump to put your feet out wide and cross your arms over your head. Change into a scissor position with your left leg in front of your right and your left arm in front of your right arm. Repeat, alternating each side.
Inner Thigh Blaster
This is a low-impact move exercise where you start by standing at a forearms distance from a sturdy support on which you rest your hand. With toes pointed straight ahead, place a small ball between your thighs and lift your feet. Proceed by bending your knees pressing the ball slightly with your thighs.
By following a combination or alternation of these exercises, you can get the toned inner thighs you have always wanted!
