To do it:
Start with your feet wide, toes turned out to 45 degrees, and your chest lifted high. You can use a weight like the model in the picture for a harder workout.
Bend your knees, engaging your gluts, core, and inner thighs, keeping them pressed back and over your baby toes as you lower down to 90 degrees.
Press through your heels and straighten your legs to complete the rep. Do 10 to 15 reps.
The stability ball is one versatile piece of exercise equipment, and it can work wonders on shaping your inner thighs.
To do it:
Lay flat on your back. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Insert a fully inflated stability ball between your knees.
Place your hands by your sides and tighten your core. Then, squeeze your knees in towards each other, thinking about trying to squish the stability ball. This will be a small movement, and that’s what you’re aiming for here.
Squeeze as hard as you are able and then relax, still keeping pressure on the ball. Repeat 20 to 25 times to complete the set.
6. Bridge
The bridge, a yoga pose with many benefits, uses your inner thighs to stabilize during this intense hold.
To do it:
Lay flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, arms by your side.
Inhale, on the exhale, push your hips up towards the ceiling lifting your hips off the floor and trying to create a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Work to keep your thighs parallel to one another by engaging your inner thighs. Don’t let your knees come in, or release out to the side.
Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute, making sure to breathe through the hold. Let go and repeat 2 to 3 times.
7. Most Importantly: Get in Your Cardio
One of the most important keys to lose weight in thighs is to really rev up your calorie burn with some sweat-spilling, heart-pumping cardio. Cardiovascular exercises burn tons of calories, and it helps your body to metabolize your fat stores, revealing that lean, toned muscle underneath.
Even better, there’s no need to spend hours a day at the gym. Choose activities that burn the most calories like running, jumping rope, stair climbing or biking to get the maximum burn for the least time investment.
Try mixing it up with high intensity intervals where you go hard for a minute and recover for another minute for a total of 20-30 minutes three times a week and you’ll be seeing your shapely muscles in no time.
