Exercise your inner thighs regularly as part of a full-body exercise program to get rid of flabby thighs. Focusing your workout only on your inner thighs can create an unbalanced physique. Healthy adults can perform one to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions for eight to 10 exercises as a general guideline, unless the exercise specifies otherwise. A beginner can start with fewer repetitions and sets but should increase the amount as her strength increases.
Deadlift with a Barbell
Use a barbell to exercise your inner thighs. Stand facing the barbell with the balls of your feet under the bar, a bit more than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing forward or slightly outward. Squat and grab the bar just to the outside of your knees, with your palms down and thumbs wrapped around the bar. Look up. Contract your core muscles and lift the barbell as you straighten your knees to a standing position and keep the bar close to your body. Bend at the waist and knees to slowly lower the barbell back to the floor and complete one repetition.
Side Skipping with the Agility Ladder
Side skipping with the agility ladder is an exercise for your inner thighs. Stand at the left end of your agility ladder with the crossbars extending out at your right side. Bend your hips and knees slightly so your chest is over your toes. Place your arms by your sides, bent at a 90-degree angle to assume the starting position. Shift your weight to your right foot and put your left foot into the next square. Your right foot follows the left as if side skipping. Repeat until you reach the end of the ladder. Return to the left side of the agility ladder by stepping to your right this time. When you return to the left end of the ladder, you have completed one repetition.
Hip Rotation Pushups
Do a modified pushup to exercise your inner thighs. To assume the starting position, place your body in the upward phase of a pushup with your arms directly under your shoulders and your fingers pointing forward. Bring your left knee toward your chest and rotate your hips to bring your left knee toward your right elbow. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side to complete one repetition.
Wide-legged Child's Pose
Use the wide-legged child's pose from yoga as an exercise to stretch your inner thighs before and after your workout. Kneel on the floor with your butt resting on your feet and your toes pointed toward the back wall. Place your knees wider than hip-width apart in a position that is comfortable for your level of flexibility. Bend at the hips and bring your head to the floor with your arms extended in front of you and your palms on the floor. Hold this position for up to several minutes and breathe deeply.
