7 Exercises That’ll Melt Your Inner Thigh Fat

Health
7 months ago

The inner thighs are a problem zone for fat accumulation in the body, especially for women. It is even harder to lose than that stubborn belly pooch. The best way to lose thigh fat is by following a healthy diet and practicing the correct exercise regimen.

Burpee

Burpees are an excellent fat-burning exercise. They engage every muscle in your body and are also great for strength-building. Perform them 10-20 times for optimum results.

  1. Get into a squat position with your palms flat on the ground.
  2. Then kick your feet back and get into a plank position, while keeping your arms extended.
  3. Immediately return your feet to the squat position.
  4. Then stand up from the squat position.

Curtsy lunge

The curtsy lunge targets the inner thighs and helps stabilize hips, thereby improving your overall posture.

  1. Start by standing upright.
  2. Now move your left leg behind to the right so that your thighs cross, bending both knees as if you were curtsying. While bending, join your palms together.
  3. Repeat the same with your right leg. This completes one rep.

Do 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps.

Glute kickbacks

As the name suggests, this exercise strengthens your glute muscles.

  1. Start by getting down on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders.
  2. Making sure that your back remains straight and parallel to the floor, kick your heel up toward the ceiling. Hold this position for a few seconds and return to the starting position.
  3. Repeat with the other leg.

Do 10-15 reps on each leg.

Frog jumps

As the name suggests, frog jumps are all about jumping like a frog. However, don’t get misled by their simplicity. This is an extremely effective exercise that engages your quads, glutes, and hip flexors. To burn off that extra fat that makes your inner thighs look unattractive, give frog jumping a shot.

  1. Start by standing straight with your feet shoulder width apart.
  2. Now squat all the way down to the ground and place your hands in front of you.
  3. Hold this position for a second or 2.
  4. Now jump up and forward like a frog does.
  5. Upon landing, absorb the energy by bending your knees and sitting into your hips.

Jumping jacks

You can judge the efficacy of this simple exercise by the fact that even the US military uses it as a warm-up exercise and to stay fit.

  1. Start doing jumping jacks by standing straight.
  2. During the jump, raise your arms over your head and jump with your feet spreading away from each other.

Perform it 5 times.

Side-lying double leg lifts

This is a variation of the traditional side-lying leg lift where the top leg acts as the resistance while lifting the bottom leg. The added advantage of this exercise is that it not only targets the inner thighs but the outer thighs and obliques as well.

  1. Lie straight on one side of the body. Rest your head and neck on your bottom arm.
  2. Keep your toes glued together and pointed away from the body.
  3. Now slowly lift both your legs upward as high as possible. The legs should always remain stacked together.
  4. Hold for about 2 seconds before coming back to the starting position.

Perform 1 to 2 sets of 15 reps for each side.

Sumo goblet squat

Sumo squats are effective not only for toning your thighs and butt, but they are also great for getting rid of even the most stubborn belly fat.

  1. Start by spreading your feet wider than your shoulders and position your feet at a 45-degree angle.
  2. Now perform a 90-degree angle squat while raising your hands to meet under your chin.
  3. Then come halfway up before squatting down again.

You may also hold a weight while doing it to increase its efficacy.

The key to getting the optimum result from exercising is to stick to a schedule without skipping. Do you religiously stick to your exercise schedule or occasionally skip it? What other exercises do you do to keep your thighs in shape? Let us know in the comments.
