My gym partner has a question on how to reduce her inner thigh fat or tone that area up. She works out legs, and such but is wondering if there is a different machine she can use or learn some techniques to train/sculpt this area. She usually goes to the gym 5x a week, does about an hr cardio and trains one muscle group per night. She just got under 200, her goal is overall fitness and improved health, but one of her goals is to get a belly button piercing (and have it look good) I just told her about this site, so she will probably be posting soon and reading and learning more. But i thought i would just ask the question for her. She has just incorporated running, she will run and walk then run again then walk. Last night she ran for 10 min straight. i was very proud of her. Well any help about the inner thigh question would be awesome.

Wow that is great good for her tell her to keep up the good work. I think the best answer for this question is there is no way to "spot reduce" just keep up the clean diet and cardio and weight training she might want to try some dumbell lunges or if your gym has a adductor,abductor machine use those. Good luck keep up the good work and quest for a better physical and mental image.

I just posted some exercises for this area in the board General Health & Fitness under a post called 'INNER THIGHS???' Although you can't spot reduce, you certainly can firm areas with target specific exercises. I listed the ones that have helped me.

Thanks Azredhead, I will look at that. Does anyone know how to firm up the inner thigh area just above the knee?
