“We all want that inner-thigh area to appear tight, firm, and toned. But there’s not one specific exercise that can do the job—you have to target all the muscles emphasized in the area. Here are four exercises I perform to target the inner thigh while also shaping the rest of my legs.”
1) Barbell Squat
Exhale while slowly extending legs, feet flexed, squeezing quads at top of movement. Hold 1 count; slowly lower weight as you inhale. (4×12)
3) Seated Leg Press
Place feet on platform, shoulder-width apart and turned out slightly. Exhaling, slowly lower load toward chest, bringing knees outward. Slowly press up through heels, squeezing quads, inner thighs, and glutes. (4×12)
4) Hack Squat
Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder distance, toes turned out. Bend knees into a deep squat. Hold 1 count, then push through heels to straighten legs. (4×12)
