Inner thigh workout is an integral body exercise activity. It helps one get slimmer thighs, thighs that are simply gorgeous and healthy. However, accessing and activating the thigh area (that is, the hamstrings and the quadriceps) is a very difficult exercise. There are some ways of exposing these areas when working out. For starters, you can use some of the gym equipment, such as leg stretching machines and hip abductors. These machines are ideal for creating slim yet strong inner thighs. Furthermore, you can use the following six inner thigh workout tips and exercises:
Blading and Skating
Rollerblading and ice skating are enjoyable yet effective ways of working out your thighs. While ice skating, make sure you take long strides bending your knees and crouching while skating works on your hip area as well as your quadriceps. However, you should not spend the whole day blading and skating. Prolonging these exercises results in muscle cramps. Therefore, when you are doing these exercises, spend around 20-40 minutes.
Side Lunging
Make sure to have a pair of dumbbells when doing this kind of lunging. When you are lowering your body for a side lunge, hold the dumbbells at arm’s length. Bend forward while lowering the dumbbells to the floor. Do this without raising your feet. Do not force this exercise. Just keep going low as possible. If this is too hard, then do not touch the floor but continue using the dumbbells. Alternatively, you can make the side lunges without the dumbbells.
Leg Circles
They are also good inner thigh workout exercises. To perform leg circles, you must first be in a sideways position while lying on the floor. Prop the rest of your body using your elbow. Gently lift the top leg. Rotate the top leg in a clockwise manner and after 40 seconds, switch directions. Make sure the toes are pointing forward. Do this for the other leg as well. Repeat this process 10-15times.
Exercises for Thigh Isolation
There are some exercises specifically designed for the thighs. To start these exercises, lie on your side, stack your legs and bend your knees. Make sure your chest is stacked over the ribcage. Using your hand, cradle your head. When you are cradling, bend your bottom elbow. On one side, do at least two sets of 10-15 repetitions. Do this for the other side as well.
Hip Abductor Machines
These machines are the basic requisite for inner thigh workout exercises. Their various exercise modes are installed on the machines. Select the desired exercise and follow the instructions. There are cases where the thighs come together. If you are experiencing this, gently squeeze the thighs. After that, you can resume your exercises.
Take Dance Classes
This might sound weird, but some dance classes are ideal for inner thigh workout exercises. A good example is ballet classes. Taking ballet classes once a week gives one sleek inner thighs. Their classes revolved around workout exercises such as footwork, stretching and floor exercises. You can start with a beginner’s class if you are sceptical.
