Do you lack confidence in wearing those leggings and skinny jeans just because a flabby fat resides in your inner thighs? Don’t despair as it is generally one of the last areas of the body in a woman to be slim and firmer. In this post, I am going to share some of the easy exercises that will tone and tighten your inner thighs.
The inner thigh is one of the most troublesome spots of the body where fat deposits very fast as we use it less frequently in our everyday life activities. People often ask me for the exercises to spot reduce their target area but frankly speaking, this is simply impossible. Let me make it clear, basic funda is – “if you want to lose fat from one specific area, you will have to lose your overall weight first.” And for that, you need to make a routine for exercise and consume a healthy diet.
As spot reduction is not possible in the case of inner thighs, you should try to focus on full body weight loss and do specific exercises to get slimmer, firmer and tighter inner thighs. Thigh fat is subcutaneous and responds very well to exercises and dietary adjustments. Try to incorporate the following exercises that will help in toning and shaping the inner thighs:
- SUMO SQUATS
- SUMO SQUAT PULSES
- LATERAL HOPS
- BRIDGE RAISES
- RAISED BRIDGE PULSES
- PILATES INNER THIGH LEG LIFTS
Watch this video tutorial for a better understanding of these exercise:
* In BRIDGE RAISES, you can either use a swiss ball, pillow, basket ball or rolled up towel etc. as a prop.

SWISS BALL can also be used to tone and tighten your inner thighs:
BALL LEG LIFT
- Get into the side lying position.
- Place a large Swiss ball in between your feet. Now slowly lift the ball up towards the ceiling using only your hips. Return to the start position. This completes your one repetition.
- Do 3 sets of 5 repetitions initially and gradually increase your repetitions, once your body gets used to it.
As you try to keep the ball in place, your muscles will have to work harder. So in this way, swiss ball makes this exercise a bit more challenging. This will tone not only your inner thighs but your core also.
