Pilates Inner Thigh Leg Lifts
To perform this exercise, start by lying down on your side with your bottom leg stretched out and your top leg over it, resting either your knee or your foot on the floor. You can either rest your hand on your arm or use your arm to prop your head up.
Once you’re in this position inhale deeply, then lift your bottom leg up as you exhale, keeping it straight and holding your core muscles tight. Lower your leg as you inhale again, then switch sides to make sure you get both thighs.

Froggie Squat
Stand up as straight as you can, moving your feet so they sit wider than hip length apart on the floor. Hold your tummy muscles tight as you bend your knees and push your gluts back, pressing your knees out and reaching your hands out towards the floor. Lower yourself as much as you can while still keeping your upper half straight.
In one movement jump towards the air, landing with your feet held wide and dropping back into a squat.

Stability Squeeze
You’ll need a stability ball for this exercise. Start by lying on your back with your knees drawn up and your feet flat on the floor. Insert the stability ball between your knees.
Place your hands flat on the ground beside you and tighten your core. Then squeeze the stability ball with all the strength in your knees. This should only create a small movement. Squeeze as hard as you can for a moment and then relax, still keeping enough pressure on the ball to hold it in place.
