HELP! upper inner and back of thigh exercises.

lindyalicexbb · May 2013

I've been working out five days a week for about 6 weeks now.
I have really toned thighs... up to about 2 to 3 inches below my bottom!
Its very noticeable, even through jeans. It seems to start on my inner upper thigh, and wraps around to the back of my thighs.
I know you can't target only certain parts of the body, but nothing I do is helping at all.
So, I guess I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem, and what they did to help it...?
If there is a certain diet, or exercise plan, I will gladly try anything!
I'm not asking for a miracle, just a little help so i can have a better/normal looking bum!
Thank you!

Eat at a deficit to lose fat. Lift heavy things (big, compound movements, ideally) to maintain muscle mass. Add in some cardio if you like it. To make your butt perky, there is nothing in the world like squats. You can also do lunges and deadlifts for the back of thigh area.

Eat at a moderate calorie deficit (TDEE-20%).

Do squats and deadlifts - with weights. You can through in lunges and leg presses if you like, but squats and deadlifts are awesome for the legs and butt.

You should consider a strength training program like Strong Lifts or New Rules of Lifting for Women. A program helps keep you organized and helps you increase your strength.

best inner thigh work out: plies, and side lunges

Squats, squats on an exercise ball (ball agains the wall on small of your back), lunges, walking lunges, and yoga chair pose … they work all the leg muscles, and are much more efficient than machines or exercises that "target" a certain part of the leg. If you feel it a lot in your quad (front of thigh), shift weight more towards your heels and focus on tightening your bum.
