Stubborn thigh fat can be embarrassing and make daily activities difficult. To lose excess fat, you must use a combination of several exercises. The good news is you do not need a gym membership because these exercises can be done at home.
Jogging
Jogging is a common workout for dieters, and particularly useful because you use your lower body to propel the workout. You can do this inside or outside and you do not need a gym membership. To prevent boredom, you can also change the location where you run. For example, use a treadmill for one session, run at a park the next session, and complete a brisk walk around your neighborhood. Aim for 20 to 30 minutes of jogging, most days a week.
Jump Rope
A jump rope workout is an effective exercise that only requires a jump rope and a selected area to workout. Jumping rope strengthens both upper and lower body, as well as your respiratory system. It also increases your heart rate to help burn calories and stored body fat. This is a great exercise to use interval training. Try jumping rope as fast as you can for 45 seconds, then rest a minute and repeat the cycle several times. Do this for at least 20 minutes.
Plie Squats
Plie squats are a targeted exercise that work your inner and outer thighs, as well as hips and quadriceps. Plant your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, and point your toes out. Rest your palms on top of your thighs, then gently dip your lower body into a squat position. Hold position for five seconds and push yourself up to starting position. Do four sets of 20 reps.
Lunges
Lunges are another thigh exercise that work most of your major leg muscles. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, and rest both hands on your hips. Step forward with one foot, bending your knee until it reaches a 45-degree angle. Hold for a second and push up to starting position. Repeat the exercise on your opposite leg and complete four sets of 20 reps, per leg.
