Ever since reading the sticky about the most ineffective machines, I'm wondering what is the best way to tone the inner and outter thighs?
I was planning on using the adductor/abductors because with my brief stint at Curves I had learnt that was how you worked on those areas. I get that they are ineffective as I do feel sloppy when I do them, it's an awkward range of motion.
I want to make these areas on my leg stronger and more toned, I know if I lie on my side and do leg lifts that is supposed to help.
Those exercises basically give your legs a full workout. Unfortunately a lot of the lack of 'tone' is really just excess fat so you need to burn the fat off and do leg exercises that work the entire legs.
my favorite inner thigh workout is getting a stability ball (one of those huge exercise balls) and then laying flat on the floor and squeezing the ball between my legs for 8 seconds, releasing for 2, then squeezing again. you definitely will feel the burn!
Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation this last week.
Those are some good suggestions. I had been biking but have been doing more running instead lately. I notice my calves are getting that cut square look but my thighs in the upper area just seem to look the same.
I'll have to try some of these out nelie, I do agree I most likely need to lose some more fat from that area before the muscle shows through better.
