Great inner thigh workouts?

Are there any with some creative moves for strengthening the inner thighs?
Any particular Tracy Anderson/Brazil Butt Lift? Others?

Thanks

Karen Voight has one that uses a Pilates ring. Can't remember the title right now, but you can PM me and I'll look it up.

I find doing lots of plies tightens up the area.

I was going to say Ellen Barrett's workouts. I usually feel it in the inner thigh area because she does a lot of plies. I haven't done them in awhile so can't think of a specific workout but she does plies in pretty much all of them .

I have been doing lots of plies in my current Classical Stretch/Essentrics rotation and they hurt so good. I really love all of their leg work! I actually think i might have a couple pilates ring workouts, but don't have the ring.

One woman on this forum used to do that Karen Voight workout with a plastic clothes basket.

you can sub a small air-filled ball for the adduction moves, and use a band tied into a loop for abduction. also, a dumbbell on the moving leg works for resistance during abduction.

callanetics has the move where you're pressing your legs toward eachother with the legs of a chair as resistance. the base move is that your legs are flat on the floor pressing toward the chair legs. the more advanced move is raising your legs off of the floor, but still pressing on the chair legs for resistance.

callanetics has the other move where you're holding onto something behind you (large piece of furniture) while sitting on the floor, your back is toward that large piece of furniture that you're holding onto. you brush your legs inward toward each other by about 10", then outward. there's no ring or resistance between your legs. this move actually works the abs, but the inner thighs get a workout too.

winsor buns and thighs has the clamshell move. no resistance gadget is used, but you get quite a workout.

Element Pilates with Elizabeth Ordway has a great lower body segment that works inner thighs, too!

I also like Margaret Richard for floorwork.

Suzanne Bowen has some streaming videos specifically for the inner thighs. I was also going to recommend Essentrics.
