Exercises To Work Out Inner Thigh Flab

You don't have to live with flabby thighs. If you regularly perform exercises that target this area, you can firm the flab and trim inches off your thighs. And you'll have strong legs that are shapely and look nice in all clothing.

Toe-to-Floor

This is a moderate exercise that requires you to balance on one leg. Stand with your feet together, back and head straight and arms extended at your sides. Slowly bend forward at your waist and extend your right arm in front of you at shoulder-height. At the same time, extend your left leg backward to hip-height. In the balanced position, slowly lower your extended left leg until your toe touches the floor. Hold this position for five seconds. Slowly raise your leg to hip-height. Perform this exercise 10 times. Switch arms and legs and repeat the exercise. You can boost this exercise by holding a 5 lb. weight in your extended arm and performing a forearm curl while you are raising and lowering your leg.

Jump Squat

According to "Fitness Magazine," this exercise can revive your energy when you fall into a mid-morning or afternoon slump. To begin, stand with your head and back straight, arms extended at your sides and feet about 10 inches apart. Bend your knees and lower your body until your knees are at an 85 degree angle. Your hips should be slightly higher than your knees. At the same time bend your arms upward to a 90 degree angle. Hold this position for two seconds. Using your leg muscles, thrust yourself upward into the air. Land gently on your feet and return to the squat position. Perform this exercise 10 times. You can increase the difficulty by performing this exercise with weights attached to your ankles and wrists.

Leg Kick

The leg kick looks easier than it appears and packs a lot of punch. As you perform this workout, you will feel the stretch in your thigh muscles. To begin, stand facing the back of a chair with your head and back straight, feet together and arms extended at your sides. Bend your arms and place your hands on the back of the chair. Tighten your abdominal muscles and maintain this throughout the exercise. Raise up on the ball of your right foot. With the toes of your left foot pointed outward, swing your left foot in front of your right foot and then swing it outward as high as possible. Perform this exercise 10 times. Switch legs and repeat the exercise.
