EXERCISES TO SHRINK INNER THIGH FAT

The following exercises can tone your inner thighs. Do them thrice or four times every week for a change.

Side lunge

  • Hold a dumbbell at your chest and stand with feet hip-width apart.
  • Take a step with the right leg and lower its knee. Do not move that knee two inches past your right toes.
  • Come up to standing as one rep.
  • Do 12-15 reps of 2 sets

Skater

  • Stand with feet hip-width apart, engage the core, and flex your knees.
  • Use the right leg to jump to the left, making you leave the surface.
  • During landing, cross the right leg a little with a forward hinge at the hip level.
  • Hop to the right side for a full rep.
  • Do it faster with more energy to increase the cardio effect for better gains.

Sumo squat

  • Take a wide stance, more than shoulder-width a part and let your feet face 10 and 2 O’clock.
  • Hold a dumbbell for more resistance.
  • Arc in your back and bend your knees ensuring they are pointed in the toes’ direction. When coming up, squeeze your glutes, abs, and inner thighs.
  • Do 12-15 reps of 2 sets.
