Deep Squat

Squats are perfect exercises for a thigh gap, which target numerous parts of the body including the inner thighs. You can begin by spreading your legs shoulder width apart with your feet flat on the ground and your toes pointed slightly outward. Squat slowly down with your butt out and hold the position for a few seconds before coming back up to the starting position.

Slide Side Lunge

Side lunges work the legs and glutes, but slide side lunges in particular target the inner thighs. To do this stand with your feet a few inches apart and keep you hands in front of your chest. Put your weight on one of your legs and gently slide to the side with the other one as you squat down, then slowly bring it in and repeat the process with the other leg. Try to complete 10 reps of these on each leg!

It's based off hip structure ...?

I see nothing wrong with having a thigh gap. I myself have a thigh gap and I don't starve myself nor do I constantly work on achieving it. If you want a thigh gap, if that is what you feel beautiful, then go for it. We forget to understand that people are different as are their bodies. Some prefer thigh gap and other prefer more meat. It's not like this article is asking you to starve yourself. I think some of you are blowing this way out of proportion.

Why I can women learn to appreciate their bodies? Your body just need to keep on exercise to stay strong and healthy not lose weight

The premise that thigh gaps equal slim legs is incorrect. Thigh gaps occur as a result of hip structure which is genetic. Larger women can have thigh gaps and bigger legs, while thinner women without thigh gaps can have lean legs. If slim legs are the objective thigh gaps are not the solution. Exercises focused on achieving slim legs will be the solution!

I'm so happy to see an article inspiring thigh gap! Whether or not some can achieve it, it's worth a try. People need to stop complaining about it just because they themselves cannot get a thigh gap. Thigh gap is a very feminine feature. Those that argue against it should do their homework.
