Hey, everybody.. I been trying to find information on how to tone my inner thighs. My thighs rubbed together, which causes them to burn and hurt. I just wish I can get them from burning. HELP!!!

    Everyone wants the answer to this.... my only advice would be to Hit the gym and start doing weights with a bit of cardio, and obviously watch your diet. I assume you've entered in all your stats into the mfp calculator?
    I've recently started doing at least 20,000 steps a day to try and get rid of the inner thigh jiggle. Hopefully, possibly, maybe it'll help :tongue:

    As above. Fat loss comes from everywhere so it'll go when it's ready. You can tone the muscles around the top of your legs with leg lifts, dead lifts, squats etc but a lower body fat percentage is the only thing that will get rid of the fat in that area.

    Best solution whilst you loose body fat? Wear tights or trousers.

    Two things that might make that impossible or difficult (sorry to say)
    Genetics: if that's the shape of your legs and pelvis you can't do anything about it
    Genetics again: if it's fat then the only thing that helps will be losing fat there as building muscles won't make your legs rub together. And if you body will let the fat go there again depends on your genetics. I've lost a lot of weight everywhere and there's very little fat left on the outside of my thighs, but the inside won't budge. Can't help it as I don't want to go for cosmetic surgery either.

    My thighs are just naturally bigger like that and the rubbing together is annoying. I wear the spandex type shorts that come down right to where the issue is when running or anything where the rubbing happens and that helps. Normal daily walking doesn't bother me but running does so this helps.

    What everyone said looks great. Till then find yourself pettipants. They are the granny panties to end all granny panties but dang it I like wearing dresses so they help!

    The personal trainer at my gym recommended running, crosstrainer/elliptical, squats, bridge exercises and lunges to me. I have weak inner-thigh and glute muscles, and he said that'd help strengthen and tone them.

    This is pretty darn true. I'm not sure my thighs will ever not rub together, so I've invested in lots of longer compression-y shorts (4-6" inseam) for working out, which means zero chafing while biking, marathon training, etc. Gotta work with what you've got! (Edit: I also have another pair of similar shorts to wear under skirts/dresses to avoid chafing during warmer weather. Works like a charm! And you don't accidentally flash anyone when it's windy!)

    I am following this advice and am seeing progress. Inner thighs and flappy arms are improving. Still "ewww", but getting better.
