Simple exercises for inner thighs that even beginners can handle

Exercises for inner thighs are one of most ungrateful of all. It is not that they would be unbearably strenuous (sure, you can encounter even such). Reason for their unpopularity is rather that for long-term and regular effort they repay in form of firm forms only after many long months. And precisely therefore you cannot give up. After all let's be honest: reward for hard work is much sweeter than one that offers itself to you on golden platter.

Flabby inner thighs

Do you know why exercises for legs can be sometimes more exhausting than in case of other body parts? Because thigh muscle is largest muscle group. So if you avoid them, it is nothing unusual, but remember that sweet reward for perseverance we mentioned in introduction of this article. Shapeless thighs are thus partly result of absence of motivation. But that is not all. Inner thighs represent one of areas where most fat is stored in female body. It is therefore no coincidence that many consider theirs flabby. It looks like connective tissue is responsible for this, which is here much looser than elsewhere.

Exercises for inner thighs are however paradoxically very sought after. It is not just about aesthetic matter. When legs touch while standing or walking, it can be very unpleasant, in many it causes rashes, even pain.

Exercises for inner thighs

Up to this point it was just theory, now let's move to practice. So we already know that inner thighs represent problematic part mainly of female body. But now we would like to tell you something more positive too: solution exists and you have it in hands. Start exercising. Meanwhile focus also on menu, regular trainings are not only guarantee of shaped figure, that is created also "through stomach". So, roll out mat, let's go.

I am interested in effective online trainings

1. Lie on side, lift your straight upper leg as high as you can. But be careful that your hips don't lift from mat. Repeat exercise 30 times with both legs.

2. Stand with legs apart so that your feet are shoulder width. Go into squat and subsequently straighten legs again. Repeat 30 times. This exercise for inner thighs doesn't overload your joints, yet intensely strengthens muscles.

3. Lie down and slightly lift back – as in picture below. At brisk pace, alternately lift knees towards chest. When you have knee at chest, make movement as if you wanted to embrace your thigh with hands, but let only palms touch. Repeat 30 times.

4. Lie on side and lift yourself on one arm, i.e. get into position of side low plank. Lift your upper leg as high as possible. Repeat 30 times on both sides.

5. Get on all fours and move into low plank. Try to hold position for whole minute.

6. Sit in butterfly position, i.e. open knees to sides, but feet are together, touching. If you feel muscles stretching, you are doing it right. Hold position 30 seconds. Similar exercises for inner thighs like this one you can find among yoga asanas.
