by admin on August 4, 2010


Inner thigh is one of the most common problems for women all around the world. The inner thigh is a troublesome part of the body, especially when the inner part of the thigh rubs against each other.

In this article, I am going to list out some of the best inner thigh exercises which will help tone your inner thigh muscles and give it that perfect shape. However, this inner thigh workout will not get rid of the inner thigh fat that rubs against each other. Exercises can only help tone your muscles and there is no way they can reduce your fat. If you want to learn the best way to remove the thigh fat and learn how to get your body in the best shape of your life, you should scroll down to the bottom of this page and opt in for my free newsletter where I’ll share with you exactly how to get your lower body in the best shape of your life.

To work out your inner thighs, you just need around 15 minutes of your time daily. 15 minutes of intense exercises are enough to tone your muscles and keep you in shape.


Start with a little warm up. A little jogging on the spot should get your heart rate up, your blood flowing and your muscles warmed up for the inner thigh exercises that follow. Some people recommend that you stretch before working out, but you should not stretch your muscles before working out because stretching loosens your joints and muscles and it increases the chances of injury. That is why you should just stretch after you’ve worked out.

How much should you exercise to lose thigh fat?

by admin on August 2, 2010

Thigh Fat is not as stubborn as the belly fat when it comes to getting rid of it, but it’s still very hard to lose. With proper dieting and a little exercise every day you can easily lose a couple pounds of thigh fat in a week or two.

As I always say, your main focus should be dieting because if you aren’t eating right, you won’t lose that inner thigh fat no matter how much you exercise. And if you are eating right, you can lose a lot of fat without even exercising.

But nevertheless, exercises help increase your metabolism and tone your thigh muscles which will make your thighs look even sexier. So as long as you are concentrating on losing the thigh fat, you might as well tone the muscles a little bit.

Exercising 15-30 minutes a day of your leg muscles should give you a sufficient work out and tone your muscles pretty good.

Your exercises should include most of the major leg exercises like squats, deadlift, lunges along with some easier exercises under the leg lifts. The major exercises are extremely important because they play a big role in increasing your metabolism and thus are great for losing that thigh fat.

Before a workout, you should always warm up to prepare your muscles, to get your heart rate up and get your blood flowing. You can jog on spot to warm up or get a little more intense by doing some high knees up.

How many sets and how many repetitions?

If you are just starting, then your sets and repetitions should be low because it will take a few days for your body to adjust to the physical exercise. So start off slow. You should 10 repetitions of squats followed by 10 repetitions of deadlift and 10 repetitions of lunges.

The next day, take it to a higher level, instead of doing 10 repetitions, do 15 repetitions. Take it up a notch the next day, do 20 repetitions.

By the third day, you should realize your limit. How many repetitions can you do in one without resting?

Now you should start including sets in your workout. Start doing at least 2 sets of each exercise and you should do maximum repetitions in each set. Do as much as you can.

As each day passes by, you should try to increase your maximum repetitions by at least 1. Every week, try to increase your sets by 1. This is the secret to gaining some fast and noticeable results. For example, if you can do 25 repetitions comfortably, then you should try to take to till 27-30 in each of your set. If you can do 10 repetitions of deadlift with 50 pound dumbbells, then you should try to do 12-13 repetitions or you should try to do 10 repetitions with 60 pounds dumbbells.

This Is The Maximum Thigh Size Possible For An Average Women (without the fat)

The point is to increase your capacity. Don’t worry, you will not gain a lot of muscles and become bulky. In fact, for women it is nearly impossible to gain excess muscles in their body unless they are taking some sort of steroids. So unless you are on steroids, you have nothing to worry about. These exercises will just tone your muscles and get rid of that inner thigh.

How many times should you exercise in a week?

It is recommended to exercise 4-5 times a week giving your body rest at least two days. But you can do more or less according to your schedule. But you should exercise at least 3 times a week.  If you are just starting out, then you can do low intensity workouts for the first week continuously. And the next week, when your workouts start getting more intense, you can start taking a day’s break between each workout.

What should I eat after a workout?

After a workout, your muscles are craving for protein and your blood sugar level is low. So to increase your insulin level, it is recommended that you have some source of simple carbs (this is the only time you are allowed to have simple carbs) along with some protein. My favorite is banana with a protein shake. It doesn’t load up a lot of calories and gives the muscles what it wants.
