THREE ALL-TIME BEST EXERCISES TO TARGET YOUR INNER THIGHS by Ashy Bines Welcome! There are lots of simple exercises that target your inner thighs and don’t even require getting your booty to the gym. Inner thigh exercises are incredibly popular because thighs can be a problem area for a lot of girls. I’m giving you my top 3 exercises for getting toned and slim thighs along with a few bonus tips. Ashy xx #1 WIDE PLIE SQUAT Stand with your feet spread wide apart and toes turned out. Hold your hands out in front, tuck your pelvis, and slowly squat down until your knees are bent at ninety degrees (about a 4 second count). Then slowly lift yourself back up until your legs are straight again. Continue the exercise for one minute. To increase your calorie burn try doing Plie Squat Jumps; with your feet turned out, do tiny, short jumps in a wide plie position for one minute. TRY HIIT! High intensity interval training, known as HIIT, is one of the best ways to tone your entire body, but especially your thighs. HIIT describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. Because of this, HIIT is shorter than long cardio sessions, so it saves you plenty of time to get on with your day and you will burn calories long after you stop. #2 SCISSOR KICKS Laying on your back with your legs anywhere from 45 to 90 degrees off the ground and pointing your toes; quickly open and close your legs, crossing the right thigh over the left and then reversing the movement. Alternate which foot is on top each time and continue scissoring legs; do 12 to 15 reps per side. This targets not only the inner thigh but also the Quadriceps (top of the thigh), hip flexors (front of hip joint), outside thigh, and abdominals. SUGAR? If you think the trick to slimmer thighs is all about how much you work out, think again! Eating lean and clean isn’t just about eating fruits and veggies, but it’s also about cutting sugar that will cause your body to store fat. Getting rid of all refined and added sugars will slim every part of your body down quicker, especially your waist and your thighs. Look for naturally yummy and clean foods that are going to help you like tomatoes, berries; organic plain Greek yogurt with stevia, and activated nuts. Your body will burn fat when you ditch the sugar and you’ll get the results you’re after. #3 GLUTE BRIDGE SQUEEZE Adding an inner-thigh squeeze to your basic bridge will tone your inner thighs. While lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat, place a pillow, a ball, or a toning ring between your knees and push up into a bridge. Keep your ribs aligned with your pelvis. Without raising or lower your pelvis, slowly squeeze your pillow 20 times. Lower the pelvis and bring your knees to your chest to round and relax your back. This is one set so repeat two more time for a total of three sets. CARDIO Cardio helps you to lose weight all over your body. I recommend a Fat Burning Walk every morning to get your metabolism started and your body activated. Start with a 10 minute warm-up walk at an easier pace. This will lower your blood sugar and begin to burn off any stored glycogen in the muscles. After the 10 minute warm-up, pick up the pace to your fat burning zone, which is 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. Continue to walk in this zone for 30-50 minutes or more. Then you can begin to slow to a cool-down walk of about 10 minutes at the end. Remember, it’s good to do these walks on an EMPTY stomach. If there is food in your tummy, you will burn that first. When you exercise in the morning, after fasting all night, your body will go straight for the stored fat It’s a great mix when you combine a HIIT session and then targeted inner thigh exercises. Doing regular fat burning walks burns calories and when you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight and get slimmer thighs and a slimmer body. BONUS LATERAL LUNGE The lateral lunge works the muscle on the side of the pelvis as well as the inner thighs. Begin with stepping to the right leg beyond shoulder width while keeping your toes forward and your feet flat. Squat through your right hip while keeping your left leg straight. Squat as low as possible,holding that bottom position for three seconds. Push back to the starting position and repeat on the other side. Do three sets of 10 on each side. PORTIONS You can overeat on healthy foods too so be careful with your portion sizes. You don’t want to sabotage your results without realising it. Try to stick to the serving suggestions in recipes, if it says “serves 4” then that is what it means, don’t eat the whole thing just because you can. WATER Keeping your water bottle full all day will help you steer clear of unnecessary snacking. A lot of girls confuse hunger with dehydration so make sure you drink before every meal and sip throughout the day to minimise cravings. Cold water also provides a boost to your metabolism so your body will burn more calories. Add some berries or lemon to keep it interesting! I know you’re sick of running for miles or doing hundreds of squats with no results, I know you’re tired of feeling uncomfortable in a bikini or scrolling through social media wishing, hoping or dreaming for that fit, toned, perky butt. Now there’s no more excuses and there’s no better time to start. Let’s kick some butt!!
