Our Top 10 Thigh Exercises

Outer and Inner Thigh Kick Stretch

Yowsa. Even if the painted-on-jeans look isn't your thing, it sure could be with the addition of this move to your workout a few times a week.

Do it:

Stand holding the back of a chair. Press your shoulder blades back and down.
Come up onto the ball of your left foot, and lift your right leg.
Keeping your abs pulled in, bring your right leg across your body, in front of your left.
Now, swing it back out to the right, keeping your toes flexed and your toes turned out. Use momentum to swing through your leg as you fire through your left glutes.
Do 10 reps. Be sure to keep both hips facing forward.
Come onto the right leg and repeat for 10 more reps, again making sure your hips are facing forward.
Flex your foot as you use momentum to swing your left leg and fire through your right glutes.
Take a breather, then do a second set.
