Exercise Diagrams - Inner & Outer Thigh Exercises
Once overlooked in the male dominated gym world, nowadays most gyms offer selectorized inner and outer thigh machines, some even benefiting from a total hip machine (so you can isolate your glutes as well). Commonly, it's still mainly women performing adduction & abduction leg exercises within the gym environment, in an effort for inner & outer thigh tone. Remember, you cannot spot reduce! If you have unwanted fat in this area, over performing inner & outer thigh exercises will make no difference. However, it's an exercise area which should not be overlooked with the lateral movement required within most sports. A list of free gym workout routines for various sports and physique endeavors are available under the weight training workout routines section of the Gym Professor website.
