Inner Thighs Work: 4 sets of 8 reps
For the Inner Thighs series, do 4 sets of 8 reps for each exercise. This workout will continue to work your core, legs and butt. Keep your leg up on the last repetition. Inner Thighs are done by lying on a mat. Relax your upper body, while strengthening your core and legs.
Inner thigh lifts are important to ballerinas, because they do so many movements from a position where the legs are pointed out. Working your inner thighs gives you toned, long and lean legs, and helps to get rid of cellulite.
