Now let’s work the inner thigh with some inner thigh leg raises. Start by lying on your side with your bottom leg out straight and your top leg bent, resting your upper body on your bottom elbow. Now just raise that leg straight up. Make sure you hold the exercise at the top just for a couple of seconds, just so you can feel that contraction.

That’s it. Let’s do one more.

1. Lying on your side,  extend your bottom leg and bend your top leg in a right angle. Keep your foot flat on the ground. Support your upper body with your bottom arm, keeping your free arm resting slightly on the ground in front.

2. Raise your bottom leg, straight up, keeping your leg extended and toes flexed. Raise leg as far as it will go, hold, then bring down to the start position.

Don't forget to follow these steps during your workout:

Step 1: Start off with a warm-up exercise routine.

Step 2: It’s time to do the 2 minute stretch routine.

Step 3: Jump in - it's time to do the exercise programme. Choose one of the four programmes.

Step 4: Now begin the cool-down routine.

Step 5: Time to finish with the stretch routine.

Step 6: Congratulations you just found your 30 minutes of activity today.
