How to train inner thigh muscles effectively

Exercise and fitness is a better way, because exercise can not only make us have a healthy body, but also a fit figure. If you want to exercise the muscles on the inner thighs, you can try the methods introduced below.

1. Sideways Leg Raise, Pilates

This exercise might remind you of a 90s exercise video. Since our knees are straight, this movement will allow you to exercise all the muscles on the inner thigh.

Learn this two-minute series of exercises. This exercise may seem simple, but it is very effective in burning fat.

2. Sumo squat, lateral dumbbell raise

Celebrity trainers David Kirsch, Jackie Warner, and Teddy Bass all recommend sumo squats to sculpt your legs. When doing this exercise, focus on your inner thighs. Here we explain in detail how to do this effective exercise:

a. Stand with legs apart and toes slightly pointed outward. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, arms straight, palms down.

b. Bend your knees until they are over your ankles and at the same time raise your arms just below your shoulders, in line with your legs - you will notice the dumbbells are within your peripheral vision.

c. Straighten your legs and lower your arms at the same time.

d. Do three sets of 15 times.

3. Lunge sideways

This exercise works your leg muscles and gluteus maximus, but it's all about the inner thigh muscles as you slide your thighs from side to center.

You will need a gliding disc, but if you don't have one, just use the lid of a plastic container and do this exercise on a mat. Or put on socks and do it on a wooden floor.

a. Stand with your feet a few feet apart, with your right foot on the plastic cover. Throughout the exercise, make a fist with one hand and cover it with the other hand over it, placing it across your chest to help you maintain balance.

b. Keeping your weight on your left leg, lower yourself into a squat position and slide your right leg outward as you slowly bend your left knee, then slide your right leg inward as you slowly straighten your leg.

Most of your weight remains on the leg that is not moving.

c. Do 10 reps per set, three sets for each leg.

4. Shallow squat shoulder press training

Keep your legs together and target your inner thigh and hamstring muscles as you squat.

This exercise certainly involves multiple parts of the body - so get your arms moving, too!

Let's learn the basic steps below:

a. Stand up straight with your legs together, elbows bent, arms raised to shoulder height, keeping the dumbbells next to your ears.

b. Bend your knees and squat down until your hips are pointed back, as if you were sitting in a chair. Keep your legs close together. Keep your weight on your heels. As you squat, raise your arms overhead in a parallel position.

c. Return to the starting position, push your heels down, bend your elbows, and lower the dumbbells to your shoulders again.

d. 15 times per set. Do three sets.
