Don't sleep on Halle Berry's Instagram [1], especially her "Fitness Friday" series. Every Friday, Halle and her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, share health and wellness tips, like what they eat in a day [2] and quick ab workouts [3], and they even answer questions from her followers [4]!
For her most recent "Fitness Friday" post, Halle shared her go-to inner-thigh strengthening exercises, and you're going to want to take notes. "Let me introduce you to my secret weapon . . . the Pilates ring," Halle said in her caption. "When I first started working out with the ring, I can honestly say I hated it but once I saw how real the results it provided were, it immediately became my best friend," she added.
These exercises may look easy, but they're guaranteed to make your legs shake long after your workout is over. Grab your Pilates ring and get ready to feel the burn. In the words of Halle, "It'll put you to work."
