Inner Thigh Circles According to Osmundsen, the inner thighs are an integral part of knee strength, as they provide stability and alignment. Lie to one side, propping yourself up on your elbow and resting your head in your hand. Bend your top leg to press your foot down to the floor in front of you — your knee should be bent and facing toward the ceiling. Extend and lift the bottom leg and perform 10 tiny circles forward and then back. Advance by adding 10 slow leg lifts, lifting the leg up, and slowly back down. Perform this move once — or 2-3 times for advancement — resting for 15 seconds between sets. Image Source: Mark Osmundsen of Movement Culture Collective
