Unlock the Secret: How to Crack Your Inner Thigh

Have you ever felt like your inner thighs are one of the most challenging areas to tone? Do you dread the thought of wearing shorts or a swimsuit because you feel ashamed of this flabby part that refuses to cooperate with your fitness routine?

Fear not, as we bring you some expert tips and exercises that will help crack the code to toned and strong inner thighs.

First Things First – Why are Inner Thighs so Stubborn?

The human knee joint is unique in its ability to fold sideways, which allows us to walk, run, climb stairs, and do several other leg-based movements. This crucial functionality means our inner thigh muscles have evolved into robust support structures for our legs.

Unfortunately for those trying their best at toning these areas up (don't worry - I include myself too)—our bodies respond by burning fat from other locations first before moving onto more resistant fat deposits such as those in the hips, butt or inner thighs.

So what does it take then? Well… here's where things get interesting!

Do them regularly—whether sequentially or all at once—keeping balance making it harder overtime generally makes any exercise workout better than solely sticking to low impact power laydowns!

Here's how:

1. Stand kitted-up straight; hands relaxed beside your body.
2. Shift weight over one foot standingly balanced upright.
3. Begin hiking/unhitching your hip upward challenging, engage muscles by tensing until pelvis matching or slightly exceeding where opposing leg telescopes down.
4. Lower gently
5. Do 12-15 repetitions and switch to the other side

Pilates – Secret Weapon for Inner Thighs

Pilates was invented by Joseph Pilates in early 20th century as an exercise regimen that combined various movement patterns designed to target smaller muscle groups.

Here's how:

1. Lie flat on your back with legs outstretched upwards.
2. Bend both knees while keeping feet pressing against each other
3. Raise legs halfway towards ceiling (as if marking X marks) whilst straightening arms parallel on either side of torso.
4. Inhale deeply as you lower both legs back down together slowly (keeping tension) but not all the way, hold one inch off ground level then repeat motion steadily exhaling throughout performance time span.
5. Repeat for at least 10 reps
