The Three Most Effective Exercises To Tone The Inner Thighs And The Hamstrings

The 3 best exercises to tone inner thighs and hamstrings:

* Lunges: Begin in a shoulder width stance and proceed by taking one step with either foot. The leg should make a 90-degree angle at the knee when the foot is forward.
* Squats: Begin with a shoulder width stance and lower your body as if you were going to sit in a chair. When the hips are parallel to the floor come back up. Do not lower your body further as it can put unnecessary stress in the knees and lower back.
* Deadlifts: Deadlifts are very good when trying to tone the lower body muscles. Grab the weight at shin level and lower your body at the knees. Use the strength in your lower legs to lift the weight. Look forward and come up explosively without arching your back either at the bottom or throughout the motion.
