Outer Thigh Lift<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lie on your left side propping yourself up with your left forearm.\u00a0 Slightly bend your left knee so you are resting comfortably like you would in front of a fire reading a good romance novel.\u00a0 Extend your right leg and put it slightly in front of your body.\u00a0 Raise and lower your leg from the floor to the ceiling in a slow and controlled manner 10 times (don\u2019t touch the floor with your right leg).\u00a0 Now flip over to the other side and repeat.\u00a0 3 sets of 10 repetitions is a great place to start.\u00a0 Once you think you are Jane Fonda you can add some ankle weights and a hot pink headband to get maximize this great outer thigh workout.<\/p>\n

Inner Thigh Exercise Using a Stability Ball or Pillow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lie on your back and put a couple pillows or stability ball in between your legs.\u00a0 Slowly squeeze your legs together and hold at the farthest point for 2-3 seconds then slowly release.\u00a0 3 sets of 10 repetitions is still a great place to start.\u00a0 Once this becomes too easy maybe it is time to head over to the gym and get on a couple legs machines.<\/p>\n

Cable Adductor (Outer Thigh) & Abductor (Inner Thigh) Machines<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We have all seen this machine.\u00a0 What Amy Mac (WithAmyMac.com<\/a>) calls the \u201cgood girl, bad girl\u201d machines (and another simple exercise for your thighs). It is the one where you sit on a chair and put your legs in to what look like stirrups with foam pads and you squeeze your legs together which lifts a weight as you squeeze.\u00a0 The machine where you squeeze your legs together is the \u201cgood girl\u201d machine and the machine where you start with your legs together and open them to lift the weight is the \u201cbad girl\u201d machine.<\/p>\n

As with all these simple exercises for thighs, aim to do 3 sets of 10 repetitions until that is easy for you, then add some weight.\u00a0 After a few times of working out this becomes kinda second nature.\u00a0 It is a great feeling to work out a couple times and KNOW that you are not lifting enough.\u00a0 Now go out there and get those thighs you have been wanting.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you if you want to be a\u00a0\u201cgood girl\u201d or \u201cbad girl\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n
