Anatomy
The inner thigh is part of the quadriceps which is one of the largest muscle groups in the body.
The function of the quadriceps is for knee extension and hip flexion. The origin of the quadriceps attach onto the illiac spine of the ilium and the lateral, anterior and medial surface of the femur.
The quadriceps insert onto the patellar tendon of the tibia.
Training and Notes
- Inner thigh training is a difficult topic; specifically targetting your inner thighs isn't recommended as most people aren't actually wanting to increase the size of their inner thighs when they do inner thigh training.
- You should always train your quadriceps as a whole during a compound exercise first before focusing on inner thighs.
