#4 Cossack Squat
This variation of the simple squat is widely regarded as the staple exercise to build inner thigh muscles. Additionally, the exercise trains the glutes, hamstrings and the quads as well.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed at a distance that is wider than the distance between the shoulders. Bring the hands together and position them in front of the chest while keeping the elbows close to the body.
Step 2: Squat deep to the right until the right thigh is parallel to the ground. The left leg must be fully extended, and the toes must be off the floor and pointing toward the ceiling.
Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position. Perform the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: Hold a dumbbell or a kettlebell while performing the cossack squat for an increased challenge.
