This exercise targets: inner thighs, quadriceps and glutes
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise mat
Lie on one side of your body and don't allow the top hip to roll to the back or front. Your leg is straight, with your toes pointed forward. Place your upper leg on top of your bottom leg.
Start making circles with your bottom leg. Perform the recommended amount of clockwise repetitions, and then repeat in a counter-clockwise direction. After repeating this exercise the recommended amount of repetitions, change sides and repeat the same movement with the other leg.
Tips:
The larger the circles, the harder the work for your inner thighs.
If the circles are smaller, the motion will be quicker and easier on your thighs.
Point your toes outward.
Advanced: Use ankle weights to make this exercise even more advanced.
Advanced: Come up to your knee and hand instead lying on your side.
Beginners: 10 repetitions with each leg
Intermediate level: 15 repetitions with each leg
Advanced level: 20 repetitions with each leg
