Seated Inner Thigh Squeezes

Paige Waehner
Seated inner thigh squeezes are a great way to work the small muscles of the inner thigh to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee. You can use any type of ball, although a weighted medicine ball can add intensity to the exercise.
  1. Sit tall in a chair or on a ball and squeeze a medicine ball or inflatable ball between the knees.
  2. Keep the abs engaged as you squeeze the ball with your knees, activating the inner thighs.
  3. Release just halfway, keeping tension and pressure on the ball, and repeat for 1-3 sets of 16-20 reps.
