Training the inner thighs made easy. Get toned thighs with these 8 exercises.

Excess fat on your thighs? Unfortunately not an isolated case

Whether the body accumulates fat on the stomach , legs or buttocks is usually a question of age and heredity. Women in particular tend to develop pockets of fat on the inside of their thighs, which then rub together uncomfortably when running. This particularly affects women wearing skirts. With the right exercises and enough movement, the inner thighs can be successfully tightened.

Below are 8 exercises for the inner thighs that are really tough. They are effective and should therefore be repeated every 2-3 days for optimal success.

In addition to these exercises, however, it is recommended to regularly complete HIIT training and combine this with endurance training. Insider tip: With the TENS & EMS device, the effect of your workout can be significantly increased. Especially with the typical riding trousers, the TENS & EMS electrodes can be specifically attached to the thighs in order to "address" the tissue there.
