I thought the inner thigh lift was a little confusing- 5 reps of lifting each leg circling it 5 times, then the other side? Or lifting and circling the leg 5 times?? I opted for raising the leg, circling it 5 times, then doing the other side, and did a total of 5 reps on each side like that. ??
Amelia, Sorry for any confusion. Yes, you did it correctly….circle 5 times then move to the other leg. You can opt for doing more reps of small then larger circles. Thanks!
