WHAT EXERCISES TARGET YOUR THIGHS?

A thigh gap may not be realistic for everyone, but if you are looking for better thighs, you’ve come to the right place for the perfect workout. This exercise workout below will target your inner thighs to help achieve your thigh goals for slim and toned legs. 

You’ll perform exercises that will make your thighs burn in this inner-thigh workout video. You’ll be completing exercises with names like “fire hydrants”, “helicopters”  and of course, the “J-lo”. 

That being said, you won’t be successful if this is the only exercise you do to “spot treat” your body. To have firmer toned thighs, you’ll need to have an overall healthy approach which includes cardio exercises, strength training, and healthy eating in addition to exercises that target your thighs. 

DO LEG WORKOUTS HELP BURN BELLY FAT? 

Unfortunately, you can’t “spot treat” excess body fat by working out certain muscles (for example only doing sit ups to lose belly fat). The truth is that when you work out and burn extra calories you burn fat over your whole body. 

The best approach to lose belly fat is to include regular workouts like strength training, cardiovascular exercise, plus a healthy diet into your routine. Incorporating leg and thigh workouts in an all-around exercise plan will help you to burn belly fat.

CAN WALKING HELP REDUCE INNER THIGH FAT AND TIGHTEN YOUR THIGHS? 

Walking may help trim down your thighs, but if you’re looking for toned and defined thighs, you will want to add some additional exercises to build muscle as well.

The most important thing in reducing the size of your inner thighs is to burn more calories than you take in. Remember that slimming down your inner thighs will require a combination of exercise plus a healthy diet. 

Overall weight loss is the way to lose body fat and reduce the size of any body part, including inner thighs. As you lose weight and body fat, you’ll notice that you have slimmed down your thighs as well as the rest of your body. 

Thighs are a normal storage place for excess fat, especially in women. It seems tempting to try all the “miracle cures” that claim to target your inner thigh fat, but the most effective thing to do is to start a healthy diet and a regular exercise program. Walking can be a beneficial component of your exercise program, and it is a simple way to burn calories and fat. 

To burn extra calories, try walking up hills, walking briskly, or walking with weights. Whatever your style of walking, you’ll be working towards toned and tightened thighs. And be sure to try this inner thigh workout as another part of your exercise program today. 

 

Now on to the workout video. 

This 10 minute workout video targets your inner-thighs, and you’ll definitely be feeling it by the end. These exercises will be performed on all fours, on your back, or on your side. Grab a mat and get ready to feel your thighs burn. Watch the video and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
