There are some people especially women,
who tend to carry more weight on the thighs and buttocks. No matter what
diet is used losing weight from the thighs always seems
very slow. Some weight loss may be
experienced but it is often lost from other, less problematic places and not
from the thigh or buttock area. This is mainly due to our genes, our
genetics determines where the majority of fat cells will be placed.
Unfortunately for some there are more fat cells around the thighs. We cannot
change the numbers of fat cells present
around various areas of the body. However, for these people there is a
chance for thinner thighs. What one must do is shrink the amount of fat
within those fat cells in order to make the thighs leaner and thinner.
There are two ways to achieve slimmer
thighs, burn the fat from all areas and
eventually fat will remove from difficult spots or tone and firm the thighs
quickly with the best thigh exercise of all. Toning the thighs will help
burn some fat indirectly because the best thigh exercise helps
raise the metabolism causing more calories to
be burned, if regular aerobic exercise is
performed as well as the best toning thigh exercise results should be seen
quickly.
The best exercise for toning the thighs is squats.
Some believe squats cause the thighs to become massive but if the trainer
doesn't want big thighs it wont happen. If squats are performed moderately
they will tone the thighs and butt very quickly. In fact when a muscle is
toned a slight growth occurs, in order to continue that growth so the
thighs become very large the trainer needs to perform squats with a
progressive increase in the intensity level. This is the reason why its
so easy to control thigh size when using squats we just control the
intensity level, this way we gain toned thighs quickly but halt progress if
thigh size increases!
The best routine for slimming the
thighs would be to do squats 3 times per week
on alternate days. Start off very light by just using the body weight for
2-3 easy sets of 10 repetitions, then gradually build up the resistance over
3-4 weeks.
The best aerobic exercise to help
burn fat from around the thighs would be walking, rowing or any exercise
that works the thighs and other major muscles at the same time. The working
of the thighs along with other major muscle groups helps increase the number
of calories burned per minute. These exercises are best performed at an easy
pace for about 20 minutes. Anaerobic
exercise like squats could be done on the same day before any aerobics
or done on days in between aerobic workouts.
