Ok Moms, one of the questions I get over and over and over is how to target the inner and outer thighs. I’m not gonna lie, as a curvy hip girl, I feel your hip pain. New moms, especially, have thigh panic, as during pregnancy your body accumulates fat (necessary, btw!) in the hips/thighs and then doesn’t always let go of it all when that baby pops out. But never fear, I have a fantastic inner/outer thigh workout here for you. Many of my clients have used these exercises in their postpartum leg workouts as part of their mission to lose baby weight.

Please note: exercises that target ONLY the inner or outer thighs are a complete waste of your time. Yes, I’m talking about those ridiculous thigh machines at the gym. And stop lying on the floor doing those Jane Fonda leg lifts, PLEASE! Step out of the 80’s and into 2011, okay?! You should be doing exercises that use most, if not all, of the lower body when you target the inner/outer thigh. That way you are getting your heart rate up (stimulating your metabolism!) and strengthening/toning multiple muscle groups at one time. That is how you get the most bang for your buck in a great workout. Your time is limited, right? You have to workout SMART!

Also, you must be mindful that getting rid of fat stores anywhere on your body is about losing weight AND toning. It is NEVER about spot reduction. Just like 1000 crunches a day will not give you a flat belly, 1000 leg lifts a day will not give you thinner thighs/hips. Losing fat is about diet/nutrition/clean eating first, then full body toning exercises, like the ones in this video. Got it?!

So do this workout and let me know how you feel the next day. Warning: you may curse me for a day or two. But then you’ll love me!
