The inner thighs are an area most men and women struggle with. If you are unfortunate, you may possess a body type that is conducive to gaining excess inner thigh fat and this can be a real headache to try and get rid of. This is because the human body eliminates fat the only way it sees fit and this may not necessarily result in fat from the inner thigh region being eliminated. So the question is, what's the best way to cater to the inner thigh area?
Exercise.
This is by far the most effective way to firm up and tone the area. We will look at some exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home that will assist greatly in firming up the inner thigh area so that you may once again feel confident about wearing shorts/swimming trunks or a bikini!
PS: While you are able to do these exercises in the comfort of your own home, it's recommended that you have the following bits of equipment.
1. Yoga/Exercise Mat
2. Exercise/Stability/Swiss Ball
3. Resistance bands
Ok! Now you have these three bits of equipment, we can now start looking at the exercises and see what you can do to tone your inner thighs.
1. Scissor Kicks - Primarily used as an abdominal exercise, scissor kicks are also a great workout for your inner thigh adductor muscles and they do a very good job of not only warming them up, but also thoroughly exercising them. You can also perform these with resistance bands to make the workout a little bit tougher!
2. Inner thigh Swiss Ball Squeeze - The swiss ball squeeze is the ultimate isolation workout for the adductors which are situated in your inner thighs. It's also an indirect exercise for the hip flexors. A good tip would be to prolong the squeezes as much as possible, making sure you keep the adductors under stress for as long as possible. This will allow you to give those muscles a very thorough workout.
3. Side Lunges - These are brilliant for overall thigh muscle tone but the side movement is especially excellent for the inner thigh muscles. Lunges in general are one of those exercises you must do as they do a great job of toning not just your thighs, but your glutes as well.
4. Split Training - Split training is painful, tough and lengthy but its benefits for your inner thigh development can't be doubted. Learning to do the splits is always a challenge but it's the all important stretching you are required to do that benefits the inner thigh adductor muscles. This is an advanced fitness pursuit so you probably want to start off with the aforementioned exercises in order to raise your fitness and conditioning.
