In our daily activities like walking, biking, and running, we don’t activate the adductors (thighs) muscles much. that is why it is prevalent, especially in the genetics of many women, to carry some extra weight around your inner thighs. Genetics highly influences how an individual will store excess fat in the body (resulting from eating more calories than someone can burn) and women are more prone to store fat around their hips, inner thighs, and lower belly. However, today we are aware of the role of epigenetics, so there is always a way to trick our genes by understanding that we have the power to bypass our genetics and recreate it the way we want.
If you want to tone and shape your inner thighs (or any other part of your body), consider the following advice:
- TAKE CARE OF YOUR DIET (be aware of your daily calorie consumption, reduce processed food and lower your sodium intake, use more complex carbohydrates, cut out processed sugar and sugary drinks, eat lean proteins, eat a lot of fibers, vegetables and drink a lot of water)
- REGULAR WORKOUT (train at least three times per week for good results)
- ADD SOME CARDIO TRAINING (power walking, biking, running, hill running, treadmill exercises)
- DON’T DO THE EXERCISES JUST FOR THE AREA YOU WANT TO RESHAPE (for the best results, you have to train multiple muscle groups and perform the various exercises)
- ENJOY THE PROCESS AND LOVE YOUR BODY!
In my video workout https://youtu.be/UghF8bP36C0 we will need a pilates ball and a resistance band. You can rest your inner thighs whenever you need to, and you can continue with the training without the ball or modify the intensity of squeezing the ball between your legs.
However, if you make it with the ball squeezing it throughout the whole training, you will feel a burn in your inner thighs and gradually great results.
