The Inner Thigh ‘Thick Thigh’ Workout

inner thigh workout

In a perfect world, our bodies would be totally symmetrical and we’d have all the curves and bumps in all the right places. But we all know that this is reality and sometimes our most problem areas on our body need a bit more work, including our thick thighs.

Ideally, you’d be including workouts in your routine that challenge your outer thighs and your inner thighs, especially if you have thick thighs like me. As a refresher, you primarily work your outer thighs when you bring your legs away from your body (by abducting your hips), and you challenge your inner thighs when you bring your legs into the midline of your body (by adducting your hips).

Building inner thigh muscles will increase your resting metabolic rate, which means you will burn more calories at rest, which contributes to overall fat loss. When it comes to specific thigh training do the following three exercises:

Squats Targeting Inner Thighs

Place your right leg in front of the left while looking forward. Legs should be in stride position as if you were running. Squat down in the position then jump up high enough to switch legs (when you land, your left leg should be in front of your right). That’s one rep. Do a series of 10 reps, 3 times.
