    Default Inner thighs

    Does anyone happen to know a good inner thigh workout?

    Alaina, at the health club there is a machine that isolates the innere thighs. In a seated position, with legs apart, you place a padded machine part inside the knees and pull your knees together. You could probably duplicate this at home with a big rubberband type thingy. One end attatched to a table leg, the other to an ankle, pulling inward. Hope this helps!

    You might want to look into Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds, Express. I have that 3 set video and she really targets the lower body...hips, thighs,legs.
    Just an idea...

    Alaina---you can do this by putting on ankle weights and laying on your back lifting your legs up to a 90 degree angle spreading them as far as you can without letting them drop either forward or back then bringing them back together...surgiaca tubing attatched to the ankle works well too--but requires a VERY heavy peice of furniture...some couches are not even heavy enough to adequately owrk the inner thigh...you are too strong in the legs and pull the piece of furniture across the floor instead of being able to really work the legs out...unless of course you are rearranging furniture!

    Here's an easy one. This is from Margaret Richard.

    Sit in a chair, kind of toward the edge, with your knees at 90 degrees. Put a ball between your knees--any kind of ball, any size--then press your knees together and release. Don't release completely, just enough to ease the squeeze. Do reps until you scream Repeat every other day or so.

    >>Put a ball between your knees-

    I was gonna say this too... but I lay on the floor and use those stability (yoga) balls
    or even a hippity-hop if you have kids.... and squeeze the dickens out of 'em.
    since i am already on my back, i alternate them with sit ups/crunches.

    Hi Alaina
    I went to a bums, tums & thighs class at the weekend so i know these exercises are good, i could barely walk the next day!

    Lie on side with legs out straight. Raise you leg 1/2 way up and back down without touching the ground. Do about 20 reps each leg.
    Then, still lying on side, bring knees up to chest (or in that general direction) and kick out diagonally. Again do 20 reps each leg.
    Finally, bring underneath leg (the one your lying on) out in front of you and raise as high as you can. 20 reps each leg.

    Squats and lunges are both also very good for your thighs.

    Hope this helps!!

    I found this (Its from Paige Waehner )

    Inner Thigh

    Lie on left side with hips stacked. Take right leg in front of you, toes resting on floor and knee bent to about 90 degrees. Using your hand for balance, squeeze the left leg up, pulling inner thighs of both legs together. Keep your leg straight, foot flexed and heel, knee and hip in alignment. Try not to press on your right foot as you lift your left leg. Repeat all reps and switch sides.


    Obs.: Beginners, do 1 set of 10-16 repetitions for 1-2 non-consecutive days each week--use NO weights
    Intermediate, do 1-2 set of 10-16 repetitions for 2-3 non-consecutive days each week
    Advanced, do 3 sets of 10-12 reps for 3 or more non-consecutive days a week

    Lie on left side with hips stacked.

    having large thighs, I have always found this exercise difficult to do -
    very uncomfortable and awkward

    for me, resistance always gave me the best results
