Best Inner Thigh Exercises

While most women will maintain that losing inner thigh fat can be a challenge there are several exercises that can be done 2-3 times a week for 15-30 minutes a session in the comfort of your own home. Be sure to start each workout with warm up stretches and bends before moving on. This not only warms the muscles up, it prepares the body for endurance. This is as important to your success as the exercises themselves.

Throughout the day as we eat the body converts the food into sugar that is then used for energy. This energy gets us through all the spurts of physical exertion experienced on a daily basis. In order to draw on the reserved fat stored in our cells the body needs to think there is adequate reason to tap into its precious resources. Warm up exercises provide this reason allowing the body to by-pass available energy for stored fat.

For best results, inner thigh exercises should start with 11-15 repetitions of your exercise choice which will equal one set. As you build up resistance increase to two sets and so on. One of the easiest harder (not a play on words) exercises recommended is the press lift. In this exercise you contract your inner thigh muscles while holding an exercise ball between your ankles. Perform six repetitions while lying on the back and both sides for a total of 18.

The quadriceps system is one of the largest muscle groups in the body. They are used in knee extension and/or hip flexion and need to be worked with regularity. To work them sit on a matt with the legs as far out as possible. Lean to each side in turn and reach toward the toes. Rest your hands at the ankle holding position at least 30 seconds. Repeat until rep is completed.

Another of the good inner thigh exercises that tones as well as targets the area is the bridge squeeze. This can be performed by lying on the floor on your back, feet flat on floor (6-12 inches apart), knees up and bent. With hands at your sides, tighten the stomach muscles keeping your lower back in place on the floor. As you lift the hips off the floor tighten the buttock muscles and squeeze your knees together, holding a second or two before returning to the starting position. Do 10-12 of these repetitions.

With the plastic band stretch you will need an elastic band. Wrap one end around a sturdy but stationary piece of furniture while attaching the other to your ankle. Stand far enough from the furniture piece that you experience strain on the ankle. Lift leg up and out holding a few seconds before bringing it back towards your body. Do three sets of this inner thigh exercise for10 repetitions a leg.
