Exercise: Inner/Outer Thigh Extensions
Target Muscles: Inner and Outer Thighs

-Tie an exercise band around a pole or to a sturdy object.

(If you do not have great balance make sure there is something close by that you can place your hand on to help balance you)

Exercise 1 - Inner Thigh: (Picture #1 above)
-Tie the band around the leg closest to the band(the band should be on your side)

-Make sure you stand far enough away from the other end of the band to give you a challenging resistance.
-With your leg straight and slightly in front of you (just enough to move it past the other leg)

-Cross the leg with the band crossing in front of your standing leg until you can not go further and then return to the starting position.

Exercise 2 Outer Thigh: (Picture #2 above)

-Leaving the band tied to your ankle turn and face the opposite direction(the band should now cross in front of your standing leg with about the same resistance)

-Move your leg with the band straight out to the side until you can not go further (the band should cross in front of your standing leg) and then return to the starting position.
