Inner thighs

[libertytyranny]

Good moves for em?


I did legs yesterday..being a former dancer..They are still pretty strong..but nothing I do gets those inner thighs like the hip adductor and abductor machine did back when I went to the gym...any good "home moves" I have an excersise ball..free weights and some wimpy bands..

I normally do squats, lunges, wall sits and kick backs..what do I need to add? I can't get em sore

Thighmaster! Maybe you could squeeze a bball between your knees?

Maybe plié squats?

Sumo-Style Squat, holding the dumbbell(s) in front of you.

I was thinking about it..lol but I think I need more resistance than a ball would offer..I could give it a try though.

Is that feet out or feet foward? I totally just tried that in my office btw

Try 'em both, I think feet forward may hit them a lil' more directly. Doing it both ways can't hurt.

No worries, I pulled something in my right hip and I've been doing the same motion... VERY ODD LOOKS.

using one of those balls (the kind that you can do crunches and stuff on) if you were to put that between your knees and squeze your knees together, that will help, you don't need a lot of resistance, if you do quick squezes(squeze squeze squeze squeze let go) , rather than squeze, let go, squeze, let go. it'll help

I usually feel it more with wide stance feet out and squat, just be sure you are pushing through your heels coming back up. but both ways is good

Feet outward, your Tibia and Fibula need to follow the path of the Femur.

Riding a bicycle is really good for this for women, IMO. (A female PE teacher who was a friend of mine told me this a few years ago)

Spinning classes if you belong to a gym. Otherwise, a stationary or regular bike, if you have one. Spin works best IMO, because if you ride a regular bike, you need to be able to cover a lot of distance, at a good pace, at least a few times a week. You have to be very motivated to do the spin classes alone at home though. I always thought I did a good job trudging along for my 1/2-1 hour 3 x a week at home. Until I took a spin class at a gym! Much different!
