Inner and Outer Thigh Workout (For Lean Legs)
This inner and outer thigh workout is perfect if you want to tone your thighs without making them bigger.
I know that thighs are a problematic area for a lot of women. And I also know that a lot of you have been pushed to do lots of leg workouts (especially squats and lunges) that make your thighs bulk up, instead of slim them down.
That’s why I wanted to post this super quick and effective workout that will help you tone your inner and outer thighs without building too much leg muscle.
And you can do it from home without any equipment! It can be done alone, or after your workout for an extra burn. I did this after cardio.
Enjoy! :)

HOW TO COMPLETE THE WORKOUT
- Complete each exercise for 30 seconds, without any rest.
- Make sure you do 30 seconds per side if it’s a one sided exercise.

Good luck!

I have been doing your Lean Legs Program for two months now, along with mixing in your workouts on your blog,, and I am thrilled with results . I struggle with whether or not to use ankle weights for the leg workout though. I am a Mesomorph and want the slim toned legs but fear bulk if I use them. You have said you don’t use them because your body weight is sufficient but in the Lean legs Program you use weights?! What do you recommend??
Hi lovely,
thanks for reaching out! <3
You can use 2-5lb ankle weights, it'll make the workouts more challenging :) Don't worry, it's low weight so it won't cause any bulkiness.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions! xx
