Exercise Benefits
The inner thigh lifts is a Pilates exercise that targets, as the name suggests, your inner thighs. The inner thigh muscles play an important role in pulling the legs toward the center of the body and are crucial for the stability of the knee and hip joints. Doing inner thigh lifts not only strengthens and trims your inner thighs but can also improve your balance.
