  • run run run! there's this one floor move, but I'm sure going to describe it pretty badly. Lol, I'll try. Um first you get on the floor. Lay on your side in a straight position and everything. Your bottom leg is resting. Lift your top leg and then lower it (the higher you lift your leg the better). Repeat (make sure to count so you can do as many on the opposite leg).

    Something that we do in pilates that is KILLER for ur inner thighs ( i will do my best to explain it)
    Laying with ur legs in the air spread them as far as u can and bring them in over and over, u can point and flex ur toes alternating (but u dont have to), then u can criss cross them up and then back down, then bring them as wide as u can and make small circles, go up about 1/3 of the way and do more circles, go up a lil more and do more, and again a lil more and do more circles (all of this also works ur core major) If u dont feel it then ur in awesome shape cuz i did a few of these at home yesterday and my inner thighs are definitly sore today!

    Wide stance squats (toes slightly pointed outward) and sideways lunges (feet facing forward). Be sure not to extend your knees farther than your toes.

    That actually is more for ur outer thigh but it works ur outer thighs amazing...in addition to that u can do big circles and small circles, u can kick ur leg back and forth with it parallel, u can bend it (firehydrants) and bring it up and down...there are lots of variations that really work ur outer thighs, we do them in pilates for 15 min straight some times and u feel like ur leg is going to fall off!

    Lay in the same position as this one, but instead of raising the top leg, you bend that leg 90 degrees, placing it on the floor and you raise the bottom leg. You only have to raise it a few inches and it really targets the inner thigh. I hope I explained that good enough that you can follow....:ohwell: LMAO

    And ignore those dumbass pornstar machines at the gym--you know, the ones that involve splaying your legs. Utter waste of time unless your rehabbing from an injury.
