9 Quick Ways to Lose Your Thigh Fat

Full disclosure: There's no one exercise or food that specifically helps you lose weight in your legs—spot reducing fat doesn't work—but keep reading to find out what can help you trim down.


KICK UP THE CARDIO


Burning calories is key to reducing your overall body fat, and heart-pumping cardio is going to make that happen. Choose the types that burn the most calories, such as biking, running, and jumping rope. As a bonus, these also tonethe legs while you're doing them. Do 60-minute sessions five times a week to really notice a difference.






GET HIGH


With your incline, that is. Pump up the treadmill's incline, find some hills to bike or run up, or take the stairs outside or in your home. You'll instantly feel your heart rate increase, which means you're working harder and burning more calories than if you were to stick to a flat surface. Incline also targets the thighs, hamstrings, and tush, toning your lower body. 





SPOT TONE


With all the cardio you're doing that's stripping away that extra layer of fat surrounding your lower body, you want to reveal strong, toned muscles underneath. Doing moves that sculpt your inner and outer thighs, hamstrings, and butt will make your legs look leaner and slimmer. 





FUEL YOUR DAY


Definitely don't skip the first meal of the day since it'll jumpstart your metabolism, which helps to reduce your overall body fat to reveal your leaner legs. Pass on sugary meals with refined carbs, and opt for a combo of protein and fiber-filled complex carbs. The protein will give you energy so you'll feel pumped for that early-morning cardio workout. As an added bonus, it also helps build muscle. The carbs will sustain that energy and keep you feeling full. 





SNACK OFTEN


Eating a little something every few hours will prevent hunger from causing you to overeat, so be sure to eat a snack in between meals. Keep it under 150 calories, and choose foods high in protein and fiber to fill you up and offer energy. Here are 150-calorie homemade snack ideas.





RECORD YOUR MEALS


You can't slim down by exercise alone. It's important to cut calories as well and to know your daily calorie intake. Though it may seem tedious, keeping a food journal works—in fact, one study found that those who logged what they ate six days a week lost twice as much weight as those who only kept track of a day or less. In order to lose a pound a week, you need to cut 500 calories a day—250 through exercise and 250 through diet is a good breakdown. Just be sure not to dip below 1,200 calories. Writing it down will keep you accountable for every bite.





DRINK MORE WATER


Choose water every time you reach for a drink, and you'll save hundreds of calories by avoiding sodas, fruit juices, and other sweetened beverages. Aside from being zero calories, H2O will keep you hydrated, which also helps with weight loss. Keep water close by, and sip it often, especially before meals—filling up on water before eating helps encourage portion control.





SLEEP RIGHT


Getting enough rest is also proven to aid in weight loss. Sleepiness makes people snack more, while also making them too tired to work out.





CONSIDER YOUR GENETICS


If you're blessed with a pear-shaped body (and so is your sister, mother, aunts, and grandmother), there's not a whole lot that exercise, eating right, and taking care of yourself can change. Do what you can, but don't obsess or stress about it. Enjoy life in the body you were given—thighs and all!

Fitness Challenge: Abs and Glutes

If you’d love to feel more toned, but you don't have time to hit the gym, you can do simple exercises on your own to get results.
"It only takes a few minutes, three times per week, to keep your abs and glutes looking their best -- no gym membership required," says Joan Pagano, fitness consultant and author of Strength Training Exercises for Women.
She offers these moves that target your abs and glutes.

Work Your Abs: How to 

Do Bicycle Crunches

Do this move along with a 30-minutecardioworkout three times a week (beginners can take three brisk 10-minute walks, working up to a 30-minute workout), and you’ll whittle your waistline.
"The bicycle crunch engages all four abdominal groups," Pagano says. "Instead of doing three different exercises, [you] can get the same results with one." Here's how to do it:
  1. Lie on your back, bend your knees, and raise your legs until your knees are over your hips, calves are parallel to the floor, and feet are in the air.
  2. Cradle your head in your hands and tighten your abs as you lift your head and shoulders off the floor.
  3. Exhale and twist your left shoulder toward your right knee while extending your left leg.
  4. Inhale and return to the start position, keeping your head and shoulders elevated off the floor.
  5. Do 20 times, then repeat on the other side.

Work Your Glutes: How 

to Do Squats

Squats will strengthen your glutes, the large muscles in your buttocks. Not only will you look great in a pair of jeans, but this move will improve your strength, posture, and balance, too.
How to do it:
  1. Stand in front of a chair, facing away from the chair, feet parallel and hip-width apart, and bend slightly forward from the waist.
  2. Keeping your spine straight, inhale and lower your body toward the chair as if you were going to sit down.
  3. Touch the edge of the chair with your glutes (but do not sit), keeping your knees over your ankles.
  4. Exhale, squeeze your glutes, and return to the start position.
  5. Repeat 10 to 12 times.
