Day 19 - Inner Thigh Press

Difficulty - Easy
Muscle Groups Addressed - Inner Thighs, Abductors

Been hankering for a great thigh-buster exercise? Shout out to my good friend, Coutts for relaying this one to me. If you're concerned about someone walking by and catching you doing headstands in your cube, this move shouldn't arouse too much attention in the workplace.

You'll need something sturdy but small to squeeze between your legs. Something like a durable water bottle (empty, please!) or a ream of paper. Let's say we used a water bottle.
  1. Sit up tall placing the bottle between the knees/shins.
  2. Squeeze the bottle lightly to keep it from dropping to the floor.
  3. Slowly squeeze the bottle, contracting the inner thighs.
  4. Release just slightly, keeping some tension on the bottle.
Perform 8-10 repetitions, for 3 sets.
