Fitness Friday #8- Inner Thigh Leg Lifts

Happy Friday, my fitness-loving friends! I have a brand new video for you, and I actually worked up the courage to speak in this one. I got a little shy for my first workout video, which is weird because I am in no way a shy person. I guess it just felt a little strange, like talking to myself. But I thought this particular move would be a lot easier if I talked you through it so I put down my ego and decided that if I sound like a cheesy fitness-instructor type, so be it.

This is one of my absolute favorite workouts. It targets an area that can make all the difference in the world when it comes to clothing. Don't you hate it when your pants are so tight on your thighs that you almost feel guilty for subjecting the fabric to such stress? I am here to help! All you need is a yoga mat or a carpeted area and a weight (or a jar of pasta sauce, whatever). Ready?...



Here's a little breakdown to help you remember the details:
-Lay on your side, leaning on your elbow with your palm down. Cross your top leg over your bottom leg and position the weight on your inner leg, right above your knee.
-Do 16 full leg lifts and 20-40 pulses.
-Switch sides and do the same with your other leg.
-Repeat on each side, but don't overdo it. A little bit of soreness is part of the fun, it means your workouts are effective. But you don't want to be too sore, so take it easy!

Simple, right? Please feel free to add your own inner thigh workouts in the comment section. I also love to hear about readers actually attempting these workouts, so let me know what you think if you try it!
