Inner Thigh Leg Lift with Band

How to Do It

Loop the band around your right ankle, threading one handle through the other and pulling it tight (be sure you're wearing socks!!). Stand on the band with your left foot and hold on to a chair for stability. Staring position is with right leg straight out, foot flexed and knee slightly bent. Keeping hips square, slowly tighten the inner thigh and pull right leg across the body, leading with the heel of your foot. Slowly pull leg back to starting position. Make sure that your body faces the chair and that you don't swing your hips. This exercise is a bit awkward, so take your time and focus on the inner thigh. Repeat for 12-16 reps and switch legs for a total of 1-3 sets with each leg.

This exercise works the inner thighs.
