Tone Your Legs With Inner Thigh Exercises

Tone Your Legs With Inner Thigh Exercises

Your inner thigh muscles are important for overall leg strength and instrumental in helping to keep you balanced while walking, running, climbing, etc. Anyone seeking to undertake an exercise program should incorporate inner thigh exercises into their workout routine, to not only help with balance, but also to help with the toning of your legs. Any exercise that helps to strengthen and tighten muscles will help with the look (tone) of your legs.

Adductors

When you step foot in your local gym, most will have an abductor/adductor machine for hip, glute, and inner thigh toning. These machines are reversible so that you can either start with your legs closed and spread them outward for hip and butt tightening -- or start with your legs spread and close them for inner thigh work. The adductor machine is one of the best inner thigh exercises available and also helps to tighten your core (abs and lower back) when done for several weeks.

Squats

Squats are another staple among inner thigh exercises and put a lot of strain on the inner thigh muscles. It's best to stick to light-weight squats to avoid unnecessarily making your glutes (butt) muscles larger, unless that's something your seeking to do. Point your toes outward slightly to put the maximum load on your inner thighs.

Leg Presses

Leg Presses, like squats put a lot of strain on the inner leg muscles. To work the inner thighs even more; point your feet slightly outward to tax the adductor muscles even farther. As with squats, aim for lighter weight and more repetitions to avoid making your butt larger.

Other Exercises

Hamstring curls, lunges (weighted or not weighted) and dead lifts also work the inner thighs quite well. As noted above: Stick to low weight and higher reps for toning, while you can concentrate on higher weights and lower reps if your looking to make your legs larger.
