This pretty thing happened recently, one of my foot joints got inflamed due to the way I step, which is most probably a result of difference in development in inner thigh muscles as compared to my quads (doctor’s words).
Besides that I know that my inner thigh muscles (what is the name for those?) aren’t that well developed and they look kinda meh right now, so it has never been more imminent I work them out.
I usually use the adduction machine at the gym, but I don’t think it’s enough. I’m open to any kinds of workouts and tips. Thanks!

For any squat movement—barbell squats, goblet squats, front squats, wall sits, and kettlebell squats are all great–use a WIDE stance and turn your toes out at about a 45 degree angle. Make sure you squat deep. You’ll redirect a lot of the emphasis to your inner thighs (and your butt). You can also do lunge movements with your toes turned out.
Stay off the adduction machine and focus on bodyweight moves!

December 3, 2014 at 6:14 am #209Did me some wide stance squats yesterday and my muscles feel a little sore today, which means it’s working. Thanks a bunch again! ^^
