Shorts and swimsuit season is coming – are you ready?
With the temperatures starting to heat up and shorts/swimsuit season coming into full swing, I am starting to get more requests from you guys for workouts that will shape and sculpt your legs. One of the most common requests that I get here on T&T is for your inner thighs. Well today we’ve got just that! Shape the legs of your life for swimsuit and shorts season this summer with this inner thigh roaster!
Kind of a fun format on this one – we’ll break up seven exercises into three different circuits. The first two circuits will hit the inner thigh, but kind of an “overall” leg emphasis to start. The third circuit, however, buckle up! We coming full-speed at shaping amazing thighs! Hope you like it!
Circuit 1
10 Squats
Get the blood flowing with some good ol’ air squats
10 Slide Lunges (each leg)
One of my favorite for the inner and outer leg muscles! Towels work great on hardwood or paper plates are awesome on carpet. While lowering into a lunge on the left leg slide the right as far as you can out to the side.
Repeat Circuit 1 three times and move on to Circuit 2
Circuit 2
10 Plie Squats
We’ll externally rotate at the hips to put a little more emphasis on the adductor!
3 Star Lunges (each leg)
Lunge forward, 45 degrees, sideways, backwards 45 degrees, and straight back to complete “1 rep”
Repeat Circuit 2 three times and move on to Circuit 3
Circuit 3
Here we go! You asked for it!
20 Bridge with Ball Squeeze
Bridges are great for the butt, but I want you to find a ball or pillow folded in half to SMASH between your legs while you do this one!
20 Scissor Kicks
Bring your legs a little higher than a standard scissor kick – about a 45 degree angle from the floor. Focus on speed – try to do these as fast as you safely can!
20 Seated Dumbbell Leg Lifts
Finally, find a 5-10 pound dumbbell. Sit on the edge of a chair, stand the dumbbell upright on the floor, and pinch it between your feet. Keep you knees straight and use you stomach/hips to lift the dumbbell up off the floor. (similar lift to the pic below, only seated)
Repeated three times (you knew I was going to go there!!)
CONGRATUALTIONS!
Just remember how amazing you’re going to look every time you have to sit down over the next couple of days! (Think of me!)
This is just one of many awesome workouts I have available here on T&T!
