inner thigh fatness?

carbnut · April 2013

sumo squats are good. inner thigh leg raises with an ankle weight on if you want are good too. any cardio will help tone your inner thigh as well as your whole leg.

I love having thick thighs. Admittedly, I want lots of muscle, but I like a nice layer of fat over it.

+1!!! Absolutely aiming for athletic thunder thighs!'

+2 to both of you. I love strong and meaty thighs! :drinker:

FR sent!
and throw in some plies too, with weights if you can
doing pulses of any of those exercises is killer

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I have used a machine similar at the gym. I just started doing squats too and i love em!

Perhaps I need to be focused on toning them?

Sumo Squats
Lying Leg Lifts
Side Lunge
First Position Plie Squat

These will help build your muscles. Cardio and eating a small deficit will also help with the fat loss.

Cardio dosent burn fat. cardio strengthens your cardiovascular system. thats y its called cardio. and time you burn more calories then you take in, you'll loose weight. after the inital week or two of dropping excess water stores, you body will start burning extra body fat to replace energy it feels its lacking. to shrink your fat I suggest you do some weight training since muscle is more condensed than fat you thinghs will decrease in size. plus the legs hold the largest amount of muscle in the human body so you can challenge different mucles on different days to keep from being bored and so as not to overwork any 1 muscle and cause injery. most women lack the testosterone to become bulky so dont worry too much. plus for every 10lbs of muscle you add (build) you'll burn an extra 3500 extra calories(1 pound) a week at rest. Ive lost 4inches off of my own thighs using this method.(in 3 weeks time)

Plie squats are very effective and check out 'Blogilates' (on Youtube) 'Inner thigh Insanity'. Combine with strength training, cardio and healthy eating and you should be good

I've really slimmed down my inner thighs. Mine have always been that big ugly lump.

I do pretty intense kickboxing 3x per week. On resistance days, there are squats, lunges and the usual. The one where I get the most inner thigh burn is by using an "o-ring" resistance band around my ankles, laying on on side, propping the top leg up and lifting that lower leg. You can really feel a burn!

Agree that you can't spot reduce.
DISAGREE with cardio being the only way to burn fat.
DISAGREE that squats and lunges will make you "bulky"
And...add me to the "meaty thigh" club... :bigsmile:

Like everyone said, you will need to lose fat but do you have access to a gym?
The hip abb/adductor machines have helped me with that.

The only way to burn fat is cardio. Get that heart rate up!

Sorry. You fail.

Get in the gym and start lifting some heavy weights. Squats (preferably with a barbell and some weights) are great as well as deadlifts! I do hardly any cardio. I despise it. The most cardio I do right now is Yoga and Les Mills BodyFlow and walking the dog.

You can find something that refutes and confirms everything on the Internet. It certainly can't hurt and I have been seeing results.
