Fat thighs are a woman’s (or man’s) worst nightmare. Fortunately, help is at hand in fighting back and getting rid of them. The thighs contain more muscle groups than any other part of the body. This means getting rid of the fat on the thighs can be a quick and rewarding process if enough work is put in.
Our lives may be more sedentary these days, but there are plenty of opportunities to burn that fat off the thighs.
Take any available chance you have to walk to the shops rather than taking an easy option like the car or a bus. Walk at a quick pace and along with getting to your destination quicker, you will have increased your heart rate and enhanced your body’s fat burning potential.
Who said exercise had to be boring. One of the best forms of equipment, for trimming the thighs, out there is the mini trampoline - found in any high street.
Jumping on the mini trampoline is one of the best ways to reduce fat legs. You only have to do 2 minute bursts at a time, but do try to aim for a total of at least 20 minutes a day.
Another great way to trim those thighs down to size is through cycling. As well as being economical, and environmentally friendly. Cycling is one of the most effective leg fat burning exercises. With the advantage that using a bicycle can be incorporated into our daily lives and routines. If cycling outside is not your thing then think about investing in an exercise bike. You can trim down your thighs whilst watching the TV.
Cycling exercises the quads and turns fat into muscle. Standing during cycling is especially good at maximising these all important groups.
Cycling uphill will also do a great job of slimming down those legs. When you increase your heartbeat you begin to burn calories much more effectively.
It is a well established fact that swimming is one of the most effective forms of exercise out there. It is also highly relaxing and is linked with the secretion of endorphins into the body that help act as fat burners.
As well as providing your body with an all over workout swimming is highly effective in toning and shaping. Try to put more emphasis on using your legs rather than your arms to propel yourself through the water. Keep a constant pace and maintain a steady rhythm for at least half an hour a session.
There are many straightforward stretching and leg raising exercises you can do from the comfort of your own living room. One you can do right now is the vertical leg lift. Lay on your back with your legs straight out in front of you. Keeping your hands at your side, raise your legs until they are at a 45 degree angle to your body. Hold for 3 seconds then lower slowly again. Once you are comfortable with doing 15 repetitions increase accordingly.
Eat a healthy balanced diet. This cannot be stressed enough. To lose weight on any part of your body, you have to eat right. This does not mean you have to go on a fad diet. If you eat too little your metabolism will slow down and you will find losing weight more and more difficult. So, make sure you go on a good diet where you eat enough to prevent your body from going into starvation mode.
There are many good diets available and you must let yourself be guided by your preferences and lifestyle. It will be of no good at all if you hate the food you have to eat and you will not be able to stick to the diet. Likewise, if your lifestyle is very busy and the specific diet involves a lot of food preparations, you will not be able to do it and once again you will probably not be able to keep it up.
Drinking plenty of water improves the appearance of your skin and will help with reducing the cellulite effect. Water also helps your body with eliminating toxins and that is very necessary when you start burning some fat.
You no longer need to worry about whether you have fat legs or not. Follow the tips in this article and you will see results pretty soon.
