By Michelle | March 10, 2010
Any lady is aware of how the inner thighs can change her entire appearance. Isn’t it really annoying when you stand wide and your legs are rubbing together at the top? It’s uncomfortable and unsightly too!
If you’re ready to focus on ridding yourself of the problem, join us as we explore different exercises aiming to help you achieve this goal. Not only are they not difficult, but they work wonders too.
To find out all the details you need to know about eliminating annoying fat around the inner thighs, be sure to check out: Toning up your inner thigh and reducing that stubborn fat.
The great thing about some of these exercises, is that a lot of them you will be able to perform without having to go to a gym, unless you prefer to, of course. The aim of these exercises will be to target the adductors which are the muscles that bring your legs close together and steadies the legs and pelvis when you walk
It’s enough to practice them for a quarter of an hour three times a week to achieve your goal. You will start to really notice definition after 10 weeks of commitment. But let’s have a look at how to get there.
STAIR RUNS
Running up the stairs is a very beneficial exercise. It actually serves on two fronts. On the one hand it’s great cardio, and one the other hand it gets your thigh muscles toned up. If you have the bonus of having this at your home, sprint up them and just walk back down again. As you have the added comfort of doing this at home, do this for 6 days a week for only 10 minutes and you will speed up the toning results.
LYING LEG PULL
Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your feet well supported by the floor. Raise the sole of your right foot up towards your left thigh and then using your hand to help the leg, bring the leg up on the way to your chest. Then slowly bring your leg back to the position you started in. Follow the same routine for your left leg.
WIDE-LEG WALL SQUATS
Squats are very effective to both sculpt and tone your thighs! You can perform these with a wall at home if you have the space, or alternatively at the gym of course. Depending how much you can handle, stand at a wide stance. The effectiveness of the exercise depends on how widely you manage to stand. Keeping your back completely straight, slowly slide down the wall until you reach the squat position. You’re aiming to achieve a 90 degree angle as you do this. When in position, pause for a few seconds and then slowly bring yourself back up, ensuring that your back remains straight for the whole duration. Three sets of any number of repetitions you can manage, three times a week is what you need to plan for the desired results.
When you feel comfortable enough with this workout you can place a barbell to your upper back to increase its intensity. Keeping it on your back, come down to a squat and go back up with a perfectly straight back. Your inner thighs will surely feel the extra load!
Before we go on, just thought I would remind you of another great site with free information about toning your inner thighs which can be found at: Inner thigh exercises for women.
STEP UPS
First, find an object you can step up on, which can be any smaller bench, a step or a small coffee table. Step up with one leg, then bring the other towards your chest. After you have stepped back down, try the same thing using the opposite approach for the other leg. Do as many sets as you possibly can before tiring out.
USING A EXERCISE BALL
Take an exercise ball. Place it between your knees, ensuring you press it hard from both sides to balance the pressure. At the point of maximum pressure count to 3 and slowly decrease your hold of the ball. Repeat as many times as it feels manageable.
LUNGES
If doing this exercise at home and you don’t own training weights, some unopened cans will make a for a great replacement. However, dumbbells are the ideal option. Grab a dumbbell in each hand and go to in a runner’s lounge position – facing front, one leg forward to form a 90 degree angle and the back leg strong. Stay there for 3 seconds and then unhurriedly come back to standing. Swap and try the other leg. The number of repetitions on each side depends only on how much you can handle
Completing these exercises tone your inner thighs and will actually build a little bit of muscle which will in turn increase your metabolism which is great to burn overall calories and hence add to the fat burning process. On an average, you burn 40 calories per pound of muscle.
Just remember one thing though. As effective as they are to build and tone your adductors, these exercises cannot reduce just the fat covering those muscles. Therefore, if your goal is to burn fat as well, add some cardio to your routine. To keep things consistent, don’t forget to perform some routines for your outer thighs as well.
