Best way to tighten inner thighs !?!

[baseballmom02 13]

Anyone know of the best way surgical or nonsurgical to tighten up the inner thigh area ?

I wish! My legs are beautiful....just up until you get to the upper thigh...then extra skin my doc said that I don't need Lipo, but I could do an upper thigh lift with the scars in the groin, instead of going down the leg. He told me to wait till after my tt though because he said with the skin removal and stitching with that it might give me tighter upper thighs...I shall see.

I am thinking a thigh lift is the only way to tighten my inner thighs also : ( I really do not want to have another surgery !! I had a Tummy Tuck years ago so luckly that was not ruined by my massive weight gain . Good luck ob your TummyTuck and let me know if you have a thigh lift : )

I have the same problem, I hate the thigh skin. I really am scared to get a thigh life or even a tt for that matter. I wasn't scared for my sleeve, but for those I am terrified.

I hear you ladies, I wish I could just be taken in an inch or so at the seams. I've started running to see if that will help tighten up some loose skin.

My mom and her husband joined a gym and if they stick with it, I might join as well so I could do some strength training and have access to a pool for my son.

Have you tried Pilates? I used to train in a martial art and that firmed me up like nobody's business, but there's no one teaching it where I live now.

I am not anticipating all the droopy skin that will be my thighs once I make goal weight... seriously drooping already and I'm a little more than 2 mths out!

Try the kettlebell swing. Not only does it work the inner thighs, it works pretty much your entire body. When I stop using it for a few weeks and use it again, the next day I *always* feel it in my inner thighs and butt more than anywhere else. The higher weight you use, the more and faster you will tone.

I have a 10, 15, and 20 lb kettlebell. The 10 lb kettlebell is what I do on my longer workouts; 15 is my standard for a good 30 minute workout (I alternate about 4 minutes or one fast song worth of kettlebell swing with 4 minutes of low impact aerobics). When I only have 15-20 minutes to work out, I use the 20 lb. kettlebell. After a few sets of 50 I am completely out of breath and every muscle in my body has been worked.

Here's a link to an article about using the kettlebell to get fit and a video tutorial on how to do the kettlebell swing.

Having said that, I have terrible, terrible granny thighs. Unless you are young and have elastic skin, NO exercise is going to tighten up loose skin.

"Toning" and "tightening" the skin is a bit of a myth to an extent. You can build muscle to get the appearance up, it will fill the void of skin layers with muscle instead of fat, making it look tons better, but the loose skin will either go back because of elasticity, or it won't because of the same. If it's bad, surgery is likely the best bet, until then, compression undergarments will help "keep things in place."
