I know you cant target weight loss but im saying how many squats can I do to help improve my thighs.
I just want a honest number people please
Squat with a barbell on your back and eat at a calorie deficit.
I do 5 sets of 5... here are my thighs...i am up to 115 pounds for squats, and 135 for deadlifts.

Edited so I don't sound mean to the person who posted the pic of the woman with very fit thighs-just because he was rude doesn't mean I should be.0

You can't target one area for fat loss. Aim to eat healthy and exercise for a healthy overall body, including your thighs.
She isn't talking about fat loss, but making her thighs smaller. Pay attention!!
OP: You also have to reduce carbs. Carbs make you bloat.
This is a good point, lots of people know about wheat belly but wheat legs are just as bad.0 -
just start running0

no thats not true. Your saying that ALL those people in the world who have lost weight and have thin thighs and never did any squats or exercise? And Im talking about just average thin thighs. Not super model thighs. And one more thing.
If your NOT going to give me a good answer then please dont answer at all okay?0 -
Is NO ONE reading the question?
okay so lets say I run/job 5 miles
then I do some jumping jacks and some push ups etc. Now time for the squats...here is what im asking.
Can someone give me A NUMBER that is good for the legs and that will make them thinner.
THATS ALL IM ASKING0 -
The trolls around here tonight, man, don't ya'll have bridges to be huddling under?
Squats will help you slim your thighs, but not alone, you need to add other things like cardio, lifting and other thigh exercises besides squats. If you're ONLY going to do squats, add weights, not squats alone. I'm on a 30 day squat challenge now and have done over 600 squats so far this month, but I can almost guarantee it wont affect them too much, it's just for me to say hell, I did it, yay,0 -
Forget squats. Take ballet class--every day. You will develop long, lean, shapely thighs.0

Sorry to inform you but squats don't give you thin thighs.......no exercise does. Muscle atrophy from starving will do that, but it takes a long time and well, your starving. :happy:
You are just jealous!
High reps, especially when eating at a deficit, cause your body to enter a catabolic state where it uses muscle in addition to fat as fuel. By repeatedly doing both, your LBM decreases, thus shrinking your thighs. It also helps burn the triglyceride that occurs naturally within your muscles, shrinking them further.0 -

I gave you a serious answer and so did a couple other people. Just ignore the rest.0 -
OP squats do not slim your thighs. Weighted squats will maintain the muscle you already have while you lose weight so that you end up with a lower body fat % (and therefore more attractive thighs) that what you started with. For the weight loss part you just need a calorie deficit.0
