Inner-Thigh Leg Raise
Lie on your left side with your left elbow and forearm supporting your upper body and your left leg extended. Bend your right knee, and place your right foot behind your left leg for balance. Keeping your left leg straight, exhale as you slowly lift your left foot as high as you can. Hold for 1 second. Inhale as you lower your foot back to the starting position. Do one set with your left leg, then switch sides.
Exercise B: Outer Thigh
Doggie
Kneel on all fours with your knees hip-width apart, your hands slightly wider apart than your shoulders, and your fingers pointing forward. Keep your back straight and your head up. Keeping your leg bent at a 90-degree angle, exhale as you raise your right leg out to the side. Hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly lower your leg back to the starting point. Do one set with your right leg, then switch sides.
