We’re getting super specific with today’s at-home workout routine, and focusing on ways to tone your inner thighs. Model, mom, and fitness expert, Astrid Swan, is sharing and showing three ways to slim the area in the convenience of your living room. Each exercise zones in on the upper part of your legs, resulting in leaner stems. Say no more. Watch the workout routine below.
The Routine
Plié Wraps
Inner Thigh Pulses
Lift/Lift/Lower
How to: Starting in plié position (feet slightly wider than hip-width, toes turned out slightly), bend your knees and lower your hips down, making a 90-degree bend with your legs. Hold the position and quickly wrap your thighs back while keeping your feet flat on the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. Rest 10 seconds. Repeat for 20 more seconds.
The Move: Inner Thigh Pulse
How to: Lying on your side, cross your right leg over your left, bending your right knee and placing your foot flat. Flex your bottom left foot and straighten your left leg. Lift off the ground and pulse tiny pulses up, never letting the left leg rest. Pulse 30 seconds. Rest 10 seconds. Repeat for 20 more seconds.
*Be sure to do both sides.*
The Move: Lift/Lift/Lower
How to: Lying on your side, stack both legs straight. Lift your top leg and hold. Immediately follow up with your bottom leg to reach the top leg. Squeeze your inner thighs and slowly lower both legs together back to starting position. Repeat for 45 seconds. Take 15 seconds to switch to the other side and continue.
