1. WIDE STANCE SQUATS

On top of that, it will strengthen your hip muscles,glutes, lower back, abs, and core muscles.To do the exercise correctly, stand straight with your legs wider than shoulder-width apart.Such a wide stance will work your hip muscles and glutes better than the usual shoulder-width stance. Besides, it will take some pressure off of your knees.As soon as you're in the correct position,imagine that you're going to sit down and start to lower your butt. Your knees should point out, but at the same time, be in line with your feet. Dip as low as you can and freeze in that position for several seconds.After that, return to the initial standing position.
Do 30 reps in total.
2. PILATES LEG LIFTS
This exercise targets your thighs, glutes,obliques, and abdominal muscles. It involves your inner thigh muscles and, thus, leads to the appearance of a thigh gap. On top of that, when you do it, you automatically pull your abs in and up, which makes them more defined and also improves your balance.
Lie down on your side and make sure that your ankles, knees, thighs, hips, and shoulders are aligned. Extend your legs completely and either prop your head on your hand or lean your upper body on your elbow.Raise your leg as high as you can. Don't hurry;your movements should be slow and controlled.Stay in this position for several seconds, then lower your leg back to the floor.
Repeat this exercise 30 times for each side
3. BRIDGE RAISES

After that, lift your hips off the floor, hold at the top for several seconds, and lower back to the initial position. When you raise your hips, don't forget to squeeze the object you have between your knees as tightly as you can. Also, make sure you don't rush and pay attention to every movement. Your body should form a straight line from the knees up.
4. BUTTERFLY STRETCHES
If you thought that stretching couldn't help you to get a thigh gap, think again! Butterfly stretches not only open up your thigh and hip muscles and improve flexibility, but also loosen and lengthen the inner thigh muscles.
Sit on your training mat or just on the floor with your back straight. Bend your knees and place the soles of your feet together so that the whole construction resembles a butterfly.Move your heels as close to your groin as possible and start to flap your thighs up and down. Count to ten, stop moving your thighs,and bend your head toward your feet. If you feel a slight stretch in your thighs, you're doing everything correctly!
Repeat this exercise 5 times but be careful not to apply too much pressure on your muscles.
Otherwise, you may harm yourself.

8. CROSS STEPPING

Do as many reps as you can.
10. CHAIR SQUATS
For this exercise, you can actually use a chair or pretend that there is an invisible chair behind your back. Whatever you choose, chair squats will make your lower body stronger. Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart. Your weight should be centered on your heels;then your abs will automatically draw in and up. Move your lower body down as if you're going to sit on a chair. Freeze at the lowest point and stay there for several seconds. Then return to the initial position.
