Working on inner thighs,legs & stomach....

20x's
1.Sumo squat + (optional) jump:
Wide open legs, toes pointing out. Squat and push hips back, imagine you are sitting on a chair. Don’t squat pushing knees forward, knees must stay behind toes. Keep back straight, shoulders back, don’t arch your back.
You can bring your arms in front of the body and to add challenge to this exercises – tighten arms too (this is isometric tension for your arms and increases the effectiveness of this exercise).
Now if you really want to maximize the effect on your inner thigh instead of going up, jump. Jumping boosts heart rate and breathing up, more oxygen will come in your lungs and you will burn more fat. Oxygen takes part in the process of converting fat into energy and this is the reason so many people run to lose weight. But you can burn inner thigh fat more effectively by doing strength exercises for the inner thigh and jumping.

15x's
2. Legs open + (optional) crunch
Lie on your back; bring legs up, feet pointing to the ceiling, arms extended behind laying on the ground. Wide open legs, you must feel stretch in your inner thigh muscles or you do nothing. While opening legs lift your body (crunch) and bring arms between your legs. Gather legs, bring body and arms back. Beginner can do this exercise without crunch and put hands under buttocks for support.
"""This exercise targets your inner thighs and stomach muscles. Complex exercises, involving more than one muscle group, burn more energy so you pull more from your stored fat. Complex exercises are important for burning belly fat and cellulite."""

15x's (each leg)
3. Wide side kicks is excellent standing inner thigh exercise
Stand with your feet together. Tighten your core, bring shoulders back. Now kick but not forward, but side. Try to reach as side as possible and bring your knee up. You can hold hands on waist for support or keep them side lifted for the whole exercise.

25x's
4. Reptile + (optional) push up
This is total body exercise, very hard to but brings so many benefits because your total body is involved. Take position for push up. Now bring knee against the same shoulder, you can turn your head to point against the knee. Then bring foot back and do the same with other knee. If you can’t hold push up position, you can do this staying on hands and knees too.
Advanced: start with push up and then bring knees against shoulder. Alternate push ups and knees. This is really hard to do exercise but so rewarding.

Hope you all enjoy.. Let's do this!!!!! *muah*
