Our Best 10 Inner Thigh Exercises to Help You Tone Up Fast

The inner thighs, also known as the adductors, are often underworked when it comes to a typical gym routine. But your adductors play a vital role in helping you move safely and stabilize your core, hips, knees and more. Strengthening the inner thighs can alleviate muscle imbalances, prevent injury and create toned lean legs.

Fitness experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Wellness Lab teamed up with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, creator of The MWH Method, and Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott, personal trainers and co-founders of Tone It Up, to create the ultimate inner thigh at-home routine to strengthen and tone the body. Not only do these exercises challenge the adductors, but they also require the engagement of other major muscle groups like your core and glutes. You'll notice that many of these exercises work in lateral movements or side-to-side, which can help balance the forward and backward motions most of us commonly do for the majority of the day.
