There are many women who can testify to the difficulty of losing weight in the thighs and hips. While it is nearly impossible to obtain "targeted" weight loss for any body part, there are certain things you can do to get firmer, slimmer thighs.
Instructions
1. Do Cardio. Because targeted weight loss is not really an option, an overall drop in weight is what needs to occur to get smaller thighs. A healthy diet and a regular routine of cardio (at least 30 minutes a day) can help you lose weight and get slim thighs. The exercises in the next steps also help slim the body in the areas of legs, hips and gluteus
2. Do Squats, at least twice a week. Squats are the best thing that you can do to get a firm gluteus and smaller thighs. Squats use multiple large muscle groups, which also ends up burning more calories.
3. Start doing Lunges. Lunges will give you firm, muscular thighs. Many people will balk at the word "muscular", however, muscle takes up less room than fat (aka smaller thighs) and it also burns calories at a higher rate than fat.
4. Do side leg raises. Standing tall (using a wall for support if needed) lift one leg out to the side in a slow and controlled motion. This is a side leg raise and will target that stubborn fat on the outside of your thighs.
5. Walk at an incline. Walking uphill is a great way to burn calories at a higher rate, and it also firms the thighs and gluteus.
