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.
