Sumo squats target that tricky
inner thigh region, also referred to as the adductor muscles, as well as the glutes.
The adductor muscles include the adductor magnus, minimus, brevis and longus, which are located around your
inner thigh region and are responsible for bringing your legs together, so they contract whenever you need to draw your leg toward your body's midline.
If you struggle to shed fat particularly in the hip and
thigh region, you may be estrogen dominant as well (although this is more complicated than just estrogen).
As the lameness continues and the dog favors the leg, the muscles of the hip and
thigh region will begin to shrink from lack of use.
