Leg Lifts
Most leg lifts will strengthen your core, thighs, and hips at the same time. Lay on your back with your hands behind your head. Keep your head back and relaxed; you are not doing a crunch or sit-up. Lift your legs with your feet together to a height of about 9 inches and hold for a ten count. Do three to four sets of 10 each time you work out.
To really work the inner thighs, consider scissoring your legs in and out or up and down while you are in the leg lift without lowering your feet. For example: lift, hold for three counts, scissor five times, hold for three counts, scissor five times, hold for three counts and lower slowly. Avoid arching your back, keep your back pressed to the floor, and use the muscles of your legs and core to complete this exercise effectively.
