The inner thigh is one of the most problematic areas for most women. And this is where such important muscles as the large, long, short adductor, crest and thin muscles are located. They are responsible for the movement of the upper leg.
Complexes of exercises help to connect to the work of those muscles that are practically not involved in everyday life. Therefore, during training it is important to pay special attention to the inner surface of the thigh and regularly perform exercises. Without additional load, the skin loses tone, cellulite and flabbiness appear.
Fitness trainer Kirill Toros offers a short but effective workout for this muscle group. It can be performed even at home, and additional equipment is not required.

Leg swings

Leaning the upper leg on the chair, lift the lower leg up, as if crossing them. Make sure that your legs are extended, do not bend your knees.
Such a simple home workout will help to tighten your thighs and make your legs more relief. Do not forget that before you start training you should perform a warm-up, and after – a warm-up, for example, in the form of stretching. However, it is worth remembering that only training will not solve the problem. For visible results, you need a comprehensive approach: proper nutrition, an active lifestyle and a healthy approach to your own body.
