Thigh slimming exercises:
“The Hundred” (for strength)
One of the best exercises you can do for your inner thighs is the Pilates move, “The Hundred.” This move works all of the muscles in your core, including your inner thighs. Place your yoga mat and lie on your back with your legs in the air and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Use your abs to curl your hips off of the ground and pump your arms up and down 100 times. Make sure to keep your abs engaged the entire time to get the most out of this move!
Lunges (for strength)
Lunges are a great way to work your inner and outer thighs. You start by standing with your feet hip-width apart. Step forward with your right leg and lower your body until both of your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Return to standing and repeat with the left leg. Do three sets of 12 reps on each side.
Squats (for strength)
Squats are another great exercise for toning your thighs. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body down into a squat, making sure to keep your knees behind your toes and put the weight on your heels. Return to standing and repeat. Do three sets of 12 reps.
Wall sits (for strength)
First you stand with your back against a wall and your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly lower yourself down the wall until you’re in a seated position with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Hold this position for 30 seconds and then return to standing. Repeat three times.
