Women today are working harder and harder for the perfect figure, changing their diets and working out. One area of the body in which women want to tackle fat in particular is the inner thigh. Getting rid of fat from the inner thigh cannot be done with quick fixes or week long exercise plans. It’s OK to concentrate your exercise on one part of your body but the ideal plan is to tackle excess weight and fat in your whole body. Don’t expect instant results because that will only lead to disappointment and be prepared to commit some time and effort and to build exercise into your daily or weekly routine. You should also be prepared to change your diet if you really want to improve the overall health of your body and, as a result, see thigh fat reduced.
Here are some exercises that do target your inner thighs:
Walking Diagonal Lunges
This is a particular favorite for men who want to tone their thighs, but it’s good for anyone who wants to tackle fat on the inner thighs. Stand straight with the feet at the width of your hips, your hands should rest on the hips and you should feel that your spine is in a comfortable position. Then take a step forward with your left leg, bending the knees so the left knee is above the left ankle while your right knee goes down to the floor. Lift the heel of the right foot but keep the left foot flat to the floor. Bend the left knee further until the right knee is approaching the floor. Hold the position for half-a-minute. Start to gently return to the start position by pushing on the ball of the right foot. Simply repeat the exercise on the other side.
Seated Butterfly
Start sitting upright on your exercise mat. Now, bring your feet together at the soles and grab your feet with your hands. Pull your feet as far back towards the body as is comfortably possible. You should feel the strain in your thighs as you hold for up to 30 seconds. Try and keep the knees flat throughout this exercise.
Inner Thigh Stretches
Again, sit straight on your mat. The movement is similar to the seated butterfly and you should start off pulling the feet together at the soles and keeping your knees flat. Now, breathe out and bend forward as far as you can manage. Hold for around 20 seconds before relaxing the position and repeating.
Single-Leg Balances and the Step-Out Squat
Stand with your hands on your hips and your feet at hip-width. Straighten your legs but don’t lock your knees and stand straight. Then step to the side on your left leg while shifting your weight onto the right foot. Bend your right knee until you’re in a squat, then push with your left foot and straighten the right leg. Straight away, lift the left knee to hip level.
