I remember being 17 years old, sitting on my bed, looking at my thighs and wondering:

Why are my thighs so flabby when I'm not eating anything?

This was before my bodybuilding epiphany. Before I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger and understood what resistance training could actually do to change the body. I didn't understand yet that eating less wasn't going to build the firm, strong thighs I wanted.

I needed to build muscle.

Fast forward to today, and one of my favorite simple tools for training the inner thighs is the Pilates circle.

The Pilates circle gives you resistance you can use almost anywhere. It is especially useful for targeting the adductors — the muscles of the inner thigh — and gives you many ways to train them without needing a gym or complicated equipment.

In this collection, I show you different ways to use the Pilates circle at home or anywhere you train to strengthen your inner thighs and build a stronger, more balanced lower body.

Your adductors aren't just about how your thighs look. They contribute to lower-body strength, stability and control around the hip and knee. And because many everyday activities don't challenge them through much resistance, they can easily become a muscle group you don't deliberately train.

Unless you're skating around like an NHL player, you might want to give your inner thighs a little more attention.

My challenge to you: build stronger inner thighs.

Grab your Pilates circle, choose your training videos from this collection and put those adductors to work.

Don't just wish your thighs were firmer.

TRAIN THEM!

You go to the store with good intentions. Then somehow the chocolate, candy or other temptation jumps into your cart—and suddenly you're eating it in the parking lot.

That's why tracking isn't only about calories and macros.

Tracking teaches you to notice the choices that usually happen automatically. The temptations. The impulses. The little extras you'd rather leave out of your journal. That's where awareness begins.

READY TO PRACTICE?

Go to Fighterdiet Academy and download the current Defeed → Refeed Practice Protocol.

Fighterdiet Academy is built as an ongoing practice. Practice #1 leads to Practice #2, then Practice #3—and we keep going.

Each practice gives you a system to follow now, so you can stop collecting diet information and start applying it.

Download the current practice. Follow the protocol. Come back for the next one.

Transform your mind. Transform your body.

Give your shoulders and upper back 10 minutes of focused self-care.

Follow along as I use an S-Hook massage tool to work around the shoulder blades, upper back, traps, rhomboids and pecs, using pressure and cross-friction to find tight areas and work through them.

No S-Hook? You can use your hands, although a massage tool can make hard-to-reach areas easier to access.

Set your timer for 10 minutes and follow along.

DIET STARTS MONDAY. AGAIN?

You start a diet. You promise yourself this time you'll stick to it.

Then you fall off — and Monday becomes another fresh start.

Sound familiar?

The diet changes. The pattern doesn't.

If you don't love your diet, you'll leave your diet.

Fighterdiet Academy teaches you how to break the cycle. One simple lesson at a time, learn to understand your mind your choices and your body — and build a diet life plan you actually want to stay on.

Guides are waiting for you now. And new lessons keep coming. Because your diet doesn't end. It's a daily part of your life.

Keep learning new ways to understand it, enjoy it and make it work for you.

Master your mind. Master your body.

Love your diet for life.

Why do I eat so much to stay lean? Discover POBO: Prevent Overeating By Overeating, a golden principle of the Fighterdiet philosophy.

20 reps. 20 seconds rest. Repeat until you hit 100.

Stay in position during the short rest periods instead of resetting between sets. This keeps the glutes working and turns a simple movement into a serious 100-rep challenge.

This workout is FREE and is also part of my upcoming 100 REPS Challenge: 5 exercises. 100 reps. 5 days a week.

One exercise today. A complete training system is coming.
