When you are looking to achieve thin thighs, you must jog regularly and cut back on the amount of calories you consume daily. If you choose to consume a lot of calories, you cancel out the calories you burned when running. Jogging helps to melt fat from your entire body, including your thighs. Jogging targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and inner thighs, which can help you tone up and get the lean-looking legs you desire.
Step 1
Create a caloric deficit. Melting inches from your thighs and entire body requires burning more calories than you consume each day. To lose 1 lbs. you must burn 3,500 calories through exercise and reducing the number of calories you consume each day.
Step 2
Warm up before your jog to prevent injury and even improve your performance. Begin your jog with dynamic stretching like leg swings and butt kicks. Start at a slow pace, even walking, for five minutes, until your body is warm before you increase the intensity.
Step 3
Jog with intervals to burn more calories and melt fat from your thighs. Do short bursts of high intensity followed by a recovery period. For example, run for 30 seconds at a high intensity followed by a 2-minute moderate pace.
Step 4
Jog uphill to increase your caloric burn. This places a greater demand on your lower body, allowing your muscles to tone and to burn more calories. Whether you jog on an incline on a treadmill or find a hill outside, jog at a high intensity. Work up to completing hill repeats -- jogging up and down hills -- for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Aim to run four to five days for at least 30 minutes. Gradually increase your jogging time until you reach an hour of jogging.
Step 6
Ditch processed foods and alcoholic beverages. These are empty-calorie items, meaning they provide little to no nutritional value. Eat foods that fuel your body and keep you feeling full, which can prevent overeating and weight gain. Eat lean meats, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, fruits and vegetables.
