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!

Glad to see most comments are from educated people, even though this article is clearly uninformed!

I'll trade my thigh gap for sturdy muscles any day

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.

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.

I am so sad to see this post ...thigh gap?!??...are you kidding me?!!...so many posts on loving yourself, appreciate and respect who you are as a beautiful woman, etched etc blah blah and now people are worrying about thigh gap?!?!...get a life already !!!!!!!!

google the book The Thigh Gap Hack - it helped me get a thigh gap and i had tried everything, I mean EVERYTHING, plus I have narrow hips. Lots of before and after success pics on their fb page and you don't have to starve yourself on the program. Good luck chic as

Pilates can help you attain this!

thigh gaps are based off of our bone structure. They are not beautiful nor are they ugly. It's just a thing you might have, like long fingers, or curly hair. Its unfair to say someone is fat and they should lose weight if they don't have a thigh gap. And if they do, don't tell them they aren't a "true woman" or have chicken legs! Love your body, thigh gap or no thigh gap

I don't understand why you would want a thigh gap?!
