Hey guys - I really want to slim down my thighs for summer but I've heard lots of differing opinions on whether exercises like squats actually help... Does anyone know???

    You can't spot reduce.

    So just general exercise??

    Eat a calorie deficit and lose fat all over.

    But there aren't specific exercises you can do to 'slim' your thighs. Exercise for cardiovascular health and because you want to.

    Thanks - there are lots of websites out there saying squats help but I didn't think that was true. Surely they make your muscles bigger and thus your thighs larger too :)
