    A machine similar to this one at the gym has helped me in the past with my inner / outter legs. And now that I've started back at the gym again this past week, my inner thighs have been sore for the past couple days from doing this.

    I feel your pain! I'm at my target weight, have been working out for 3 years (running, circuits, cycling, classes - lots of squats!!) and have a low body fat and it's STILL there. Ok, so it doesn't look awful, no cellulite anymore (halleluja!) but it still has that wobble that only fat can create. Sigh. I give up. My body fat is at around 10 - 15% and I think it's all on my inner thigh, lol. Best of luck! xxx

    You can't spot reduce, but you can spot tone. If you belong to a gym, they may have a machine that specifically works the inner thigh by squeezing the legs together. If you are working out at home, stick a pillow between your knees and squeeze. Don't over do it, it may not feel like your really hitting it, but the next day you will know you did.

    Oh, I know that machine well. I did a bunch of them and thought, "Ha! This is easy!"

    Then the next day when I tried to sit down or stand up or do just about anything... ouch!

    Wonder if I stick some plastic wrap around that area while i work out if that would help any??? lol

    Are you saying this in regard to Chub Rub? I've gone the gamet with ways to reduce and avoid chub rub. If you're working out, try wearing longer capris instead of shorts. Otherwise, they have Body Glide they sell at running stores that helps your legs slide over one another, rather than chap the inner theighs. If I weren't DEFINITELY going to lose weight to where this won't be an issue anymore, I'd buy stock in that stuff. It's amazing. Also works well for your feet if you want to avoid blisters on toes, etc.

    Sumo Squats!!!!!

    stand with your feet a bit wider than shoulder width. point toes outward. keep back straight and bend your knees, sort of like a plee-ay. Not sure how you spell that. When you come back up, come up slowly and really squeeze that inner thigh muscle.

    Hmm..I'm gonna have to try that. I was gonna say reg squats and lunges. Walking/jogging/running will def help too.

    When you do the plie squats, make sure to keep the pressure on your heels and you'll feel it more in the inner thigh.
