Many dieters seek slim, sexy thighs. Women in particular tend to store fat in the thighs, which makes it hard to get fitted properly for clothing. You cannot spot train, or decrease fat from one area only, so you must engage in a comprehensive workout program to lose excess fat. This means you should use resistance training and cardio workouts to slim down your thighs.
Jump Squats
Jump squats are intense exercises that strengthen your quadriceps, or the fronts of the thighs, and the hamstrings, or the backs of the thighs. Set your feet shoulder width apart and place your hands on your hips. Dip into a squat position by bending your knees, then jump as high as you can. Land in the starting position, then lower into the squat position to prepare for the next jump. Do four sets of 12 reps.
Plie Squats
Plie squats target your major leg muscles, including hamstrings, quads, inner and outer thighs. Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder width, with toes pointed outward. Permit your arms to rest in front of your body, then gently lower your hips and buttocks toward the floor. Once your thighs are parallel to the floor, push up to the starting position. Repeat the exercise for four sets of 12 reps.
Wall Squats
Wall squats are isometric exercises that tone the quads and hamstrings. Place your back firmly against the wall and bend your knees until they reach a 45-degree angle. Once your thighs are in this position, hold for 30 seconds and release by standing up straight. Rest for 30 seconds, then repeat the exercise four times.
Cardio Exercise
If you want to slim down your thighs, you have to lose the fat. The aforementioned resistance exercises help tone your legs, but to get rid of fat stores, you must utilize cardio. Most cardio exercises work the leg muscles in a constant motion, while burning calories at the same time. Try elliptical training, jogging, walking and jumping rope for 45 to 60 minutes per session, four or five days a week.
