The inner thighs are known as the adductors. You have to focus your attention on weight loss throughout your whole body while performing key weight training exercises when you gain fat in this area. Building muscle will help increase your metabolism and tone up your inner thighs. Perform 10 to 12 reps, four to five sets, and work out three times a week on alternating days.

Cardio Training

You have to perform cardiovascular exercise for you to truly lose weight on your inner thighs. Do any form of cardio that you find enjoyable such as running, elliptical training, inline skating or stair stepping. Aim for 60 to 90 minutes of cardio, and work out three times a week.

Seated Adduction

Seated adduction is done with an adduction machine. Adduction is a movement towards your body. Sit on the seat of the machine and place your legs on the padded levers. Squeeze your thighs together and extend them back out. Make sure to keep resistance on your inner thighs throughout the exercise.

Cable Adduction

Cable adductions are performed with a cable machine and an ankle strap. Attach the strap to a low setting, and fasten it to your lower right leg. Stand with your right shoulder to the weight stack, and step to your left a few steps. Raise your leg up in the air to your right, and swing it down across your body in a sweeping motion. Lift it back up and repeat. Do a set of reps and switch legs.

Lying Adduction

Lying adduction is done with the weight of your body. Lie on your left side with your left leg straight and your right foot planted on the floor in front of or behind your leg. Lift your left leg up as high as possible, lower it back down and repeat. Continue for a set of reps and switch sides. Do not let your leg touch the floor when you lower it down.

Plyometric Sumo Squat Jumps

Sumo squats are exercises that place emphasis on the inner thighs and butt. You can make this exercise more intense by doing it in an explosive motion. Stand with your feet in a wide stance. Turn your toes out 45 degrees, and lower your body into a squat. Jump in the air as high as possible, land back down and repeat. Stop when your thighs parallel the floor in a squat.
