Whether you want to participate in a 30-day leg challenge or want to learn how to get slim thighs, you've come to the right place. Our thighs hold the biggest bone and the biggest muscle, so it's essential to work it out properly. Here's how to target your upper legs with our thigh slimming workout.
Be Patient With Your Thighs
Before beginning this thigh slimming workout, it's important to note that you need to be patient and focused on what you want to achieve. You can't just burn body fat in specific areas, especially your inner thigh fat. Body fat is lost from the entire body during weight loss and proper exercise. Remember to be realistic and to take your body shape, genetics, and current level of body fat into consideration when setting your fitness goals. You can get slim thighs with the below workouts, but you need to give yourself time to get there.
Best Thigh Slimming Workouts
There are many thigh slimming exercises out there, but below are the ones that target both your outer and inner thighs. These will help them become more toned and appear thinner.
Thigh Slimming Exercise #1: Plie Squats
Face your toes diagonally outwards, wider than hip-width apart, and your knees bent over your toes when you squat down. Be sure to engage your thighs by standing tall and keeping your chest open and up. And don't hunch over forward!
Thigh Slimming Exercise #2: Side Leg Lifts
Start by lying on your side, making sure your body is in a straight line. Then all you have to do is lift your top leg up and down while keeping your toes pointed and leg straight. Then roll over to your other side and repeat with the opposite leg.
Thigh Slimming Exercise #3: Inner Thigh Pulses
This inner thigh slimming exercise is so effective. You're basically going to be in the same position as a side leg lift, however the leg you would lift is now going to bend over your leg on the ground. The straight leg must have your heel up and your toes face down in order for it to work. Then, simply lift up and down in a pulse motion, repeating on the other side after you're done.
Thigh Slimming Exercise #4: Roundhouse Kicks
Choose to do this move either kneeling or standing up, whatever you're more comfortable with. You're essentially going to lift your left knee off the floor and then extend your leg straight out to the side of your body with your toe pointed. You want to try to bring it up to hip height to really workout your outer thigh. Then, bend your knee back in and lower it down almost to the floor and keep going. Of course, do this on the other side as well.
Thigh Slimming Exercise #5: Leg Swings
This thigh workout targets your outer thighs and your obliques, while also testing your balance. Stand up straight with your hands on your hips, flex your right foot, and keep your leg straight as you swing it to the side. Repeat with your left foot after you complete your set.
Thigh Slimming Exercise #6: Side Lunges
Side lunges are the perfect inner thigh slimming exercise. Start in a regular standing stance, then step out and bend your right knee. Just make sure to lunge low and keep your left leg as straight as possible with the foot planted on the ground.
Thigh Slimming Exercise #7: Hip Extensions
Start by kneeling and bending both elbows down to the floor below your shoulders with your hands clasped. Then, extend your left leg up and behind your body, pointing your toes as the leg extends. Finally, bend your left knee and draw your left leg back in. Repeat enough times before moving onto your right side.
