My 17 year old daughter has started training with me. I need some help with excercises that target the inner thigh.
My wife and daughter both have exceptionally strong legs genetically. My legs are decent, I'm 5-10" 230 lbs and they both can match me in any leg exercise. Yes, I know I left myself wide open. But the point is, they have strong legs.
Anyhow, here's the issue: my daughter has had some knee problems throughout high school sports. Nothing major, really just soreness and maybe a twist or two over the years. The doctor told her that her outer thigh/quads are disproportionately large and that effects her knees. At least it affects their alignment so to speak.
So he says not to do squats or leg extensions. His only recommendations are thigh abductions or leg sweeps/swings. Doesn't add up to much of a leg program in my opinion.
The only idea I have is wide stance squats with toes pointed out. But will this continue to target the outer thigh just as much. Essentially keeping them in disproportion?
Any other exercise a or help would be greatly appreciated.
