How to lose weight around my thighs? -

umm....yea I m 124lbs, 5 4, and I m in the 8th grade,but i have to admit i have thunder thighs yea.... yikes! i can never wear shorts without my big thighs being everywhere. soo is there any exercises to lose weight around my thighs? and even my tone my big butt.....please help 3

i bet what you really need is just to tone those thighs up! as a personal trainer and local fitness instructor, ive had much experience in this feild. just recently i had a lady come in with the same question as you! what i reccomend is a program i call: Say Goodbye to Flabby Thighs!If you go to a gym or have access to there equiptment I recommend the leg machines that work the front and back of your thighs. Try the leg extension machine for your quadriceps and the leg curl for your hamstrings. If there s a leg press, use that to work your glutes (butt), as well as your quads. If there isn t a leg press, try squats (make sure a trainer teaches you proper form) or lunges with dumbbells in your hands.The AB/AD machine (abductor/adductor) will work your inner and outer thighs, but those are smaller muscle groups. Concentrate on the larger leg muscles to increase the firmness of your legs.Making sure you work until failure on the last set of each exercise for a muscle group will make you stronger (more muscular), quicker. High rep, low weight workouts build endurance, but don t recruit enough muscle fibers to bring about a gain in muscle mass. You want to alter your body composition by increasing your lean mass. Then you ll burn more calories throughout the day.It doesn t matter whether you jog, walk, use a stepper or a bike. The duration of the exercise is the key. If you find walking or jogging on a treadmill so boring you can t stand it for more than 20 minutes, it won t matter how hard you work during that time. If you like the bike and can spend 45 minutes to an hour on it, you ll burn more calories even if you work at a lower intensity. So choose activities that you like to do and do as much of them you can.If you cant get to the gym though, here s some excerises you can do at home!Two exercises to help tone and trim the thigh areas are squats and lunges. Both are very simple and can be done in sets any time of the day. Do 2-3 sets of each exercise at least three times a week.Also, include moderate exercises such as walking at an easy pace about 20 minutes several times a week to help burn fat. Besides exercising, eating healthy is very important.HOW TO DO SQUATS1. Stand with feet slightly apart, about hip-width apart.2. Keeping back straight, as you squat down slowly, raise arms out straight forward for balance. Squat down as if to sit on a chair. In fact, you can have a chair behind you, and just as you touch the chair, stand back up.3. Do 8-12 repetitions. Do 2-3 sets of reps.HOW TO DO LUNGES1. Standing straight with feet together, take a large step forward with one leg (feet will be about 2-1/2 feet apart).2. Keeping your upper body straight and arms at your sides, touch your back knee to the floor, bending front leg and keeping the front shin perpendicular to the floor.3. Push back up keeping legs in same position and repeat, almost touching the back knee to the floor.4. Do 8-12 repetitions on one leg.5. Switch legs and do 8-12 reps. Do 2-3 sets of reps.As you gain more strength, you can add weights to each side by holding dumbbells in each hand. If you don t wish to buy dumbbells, then hold a can of food, or even a gallon of milk in each hand.

Anyone who tells you a certain exercise will make you loose weight in a certain place is lying. Sorry, its based on genetics.. You loose fat by having a calorie deficient. You can t pick and choose where you loose it, and when you loose it. If you change your lifestyle, with a calorie deficient- along with cardio and weight training, thats the only way to loose fat. Like I said though, GENETICS determine how much fat you will loose there, and when. Not what exercises you do.

UGH! I can relate with you completely. There is actually one exercise that I ve been doing and it s the only one that s helped me in that area honestly. Feet wide apart, point your toes outward, tuck your tailbone under, and then do 5 plie s (squats), then untuck your tailbone and do five more and alternate back and forth between tucking and untucking your butt. This exercise targets the butt and inner thighs exclusively. I usually do as many of those as I can, then of course the regular slimming cardio stuff, running, jumprope, etc. Anything to get the heartrate up will melt the fat. Just make sure you eat well to keep your energy up!

Bicycling! It works wonders, and it s great exercise if you re doing different slopes and at different rates. If you want to tone your butt, you ll have to work your back thighs by doing some leg lifting. Sorry, I do not know the technical term for the work out.

I saw this product called Acai Berry on Oprah the other week.. Looked like all the other diet scams, but I went for it and ordered a 14-day free trial from this site.. And guess what, it really works!! I m so happy I ve already lost weight, gotten more energy and my stomach is flatter than ever!

yes of course there is some exercises to target that area ... but you need to lose some weight and fat from your all body as wellyou need to eat good healthy food ..eat more veggies and fruits .. and drink more waterreduce fat from your food ... and start to exercise visit this blog http://flat-stomach-tummy.blogspot.com .. you ll find some tips .. and an exercising program .. and tips to reduce fat from your foodgood luck

omg ur just like me i am in 8th grade and 124 pound what i do is leg lift and ground kicks what u do is go on ur hands and knees and kick out ur legs tighting ur but trust me it feels great and works and drink lots of cold water because ur body burns calories by re heating urself

No, you don t have thunder thighs . I ve heard that a lot of girls think they are fat around this age because girls gain a lot of weight around the waist and thighs. Don t worry.

Try Flutter kicks and running 30-60s it will start to show fast all it takes is self motivation and good luck

umm you can t ever. sorry thunder thighs are there forever.
