The Inner Thigh Workout
What part of your body seems to carry excessive flab and makes you totally uncomfortable in jeans or pants? It may be your butt, belly or hips, but I think a few hands may rise in the air with the answer - inner thighs!
The workout is designed as a specialty workout. It’s not designed to be the "be all and end all" for tightening and reducing flab on the inner thighs. Let’s dispel one big myth. Always remember that spot reduction is not possible, so losing flab only on your inner thighs is not going to happen. The human body just doesn’t work that way.
For inner thighs to become leaner and tighter, overall body fat must be reduced through a combination of proper nutrition, exercise and consistency. Your nutrition plan must have you eating frequent healthy meals and snacks to control blood sugar levels, but it must also place you in a slight calorie deficit (less than maintenance). This is the only way to shed the flab. This process does take time, but with some persistence and perspiration you can make your inner thighs leaner and tighter.
This inner thigh specialty workout only needs to be done once or twice per week on alternate days. The specialty routine also assumes that you work out with weights and perform cardiovascular exercise approximately three days per week.
Fitness Band Standing Leg Adduction
Attach a fitness band to a door at ankle height (the band should come with a door attachment) Attach the fitness band to your left ankle. Stand with your left side facing the door with your weight on the right leg and your right hand on a chair or table balancing your body. Place your left hand on your hip. Maintain a slight bend in the knees throughout the exercise.
Movement:
Contracting the inner thigh muscles, move the left leg passed the right leg stopping when you feel a contraction on the inner thigh. Slowly return to the starting position. After the set, perform the movement with the other leg.
Key Points:
Exhale while moving the leg across the body. Inhale while returning to the starting position. Perform 15 slow and controlled repetitions for each leg and then immediately go to the next exercise.
Lying Leg Adduction
Starting Position:
Lie on your right side with your right arm supporting your upper body. Your right leg should be straight and your left leg should be bent. Support your weight on your right arm and left leg.
Movement:
Contracting the inner thigh muscles, lift your right leg up until you feel a contraction of the inner thigh muscles. After completing the set on the right side, perform the exercise on the left side.
Key Points:
Exhale while lifting your leg up. Inhale while returning to the starting position. You may use ankle weights to increase the level of difficulty. If you are an intermediate exerciser, you can add resistance to the inner thigh as you are lifting. You can resist your inner thigh with your hand or use a weighted object.
