Want great looking legs? Then choose the right inner thigh exercises. It's not hard to do, there's loads to choose from, from free weights to machines, exercise ball movements to cable workouts.

Of course, the best inner thigh exercises in the world won't make a difference of your legs are covered in fat. Therefore the first part of any program should be to burn off the excess fat, so that what's beneath can show through.

There are two main types of inner thigh exercise - those that work the legs in general, and those that specifically target the area. We'll look at both.

Specific inner thigh exercises include:
  • Abduction and Adduction movements: these can either be performed on a seated machine, or standing using a cable machine.
  • Lateral Leg Lifts: A sideways leg lift that can be done at home or in the gym.
  • Exercise Ball Squeeze.
  • Lateral Step ups: A sideways step up onto a low step.
More general movements that will still provide a great workout for this area include:
  • Squats: The ultimate leg workout - works all the major muscles.
  • Lunges: Another classic movement. Like squats, can be performed with or without weights for added variety.
