The inner thighs are a problem zone for fat accumulation in the body, especially for women.
It makes the legs look unsightly and it’s even harder to lose than that stubborn belly
pooch. The best way to lose thigh fat is by following a healthy diet and practicing the
correct exercise regimen.

flat on the ground. 2. Then kick your feet back and get into a

and helps stabilize hips, thereby improving your overall posture.

your glute muscles.

up toward the ceiling. Hold this position for a few seconds and return to the starting

from each other. Perform it 5 times.

leg lift where the top leg acts as the resistance while lifting the bottom leg. The added advantage
of this exercise is that it not only targets the inner thighs but the outer thighs and
obliques as well. 1. Lie straight on one side of the body. Rest
your head and neck on your bottom arm. 2. Keep your toes glued together and pointed
