How To Slim Thighs - As women, we tend to store our fat on our thighs and hips. This is normal, but it needs a slightly different approach to men who tend to store their body fat on their stomach. If we want to know how to slim thighs we need to concentrate on three different areas. 1 - Diet. 2 - Cardio. 3 - Resistance Exercise.

1. Diet - As women, we need to be taking in around 1800 calories per day plus or minus ten percent. If we take in any more, then we are going to have to do more exercise to burn off the excess. If we take in less, for example if we are dieting (something that isn't recommended) then we are not going to find ourselves with the energy to do any exercise. In addition, if we don't take in the required energy, then our body goes in to "starvation" mode. When this happens, our bodies which still need fuel will take the energy from our lean muscle tissue in the form of protein. This will achieve the opposite effect to what we are intending. The bottom line is...if you want to know How To Slim Thighs you need to be taking in your required 1800 calories per day.

2. Cardio - By cardio, you can cycle, row, walk or jog. Running though seems to burn off the most calories as we are using more of our bodies when we run. You should aim to carry out about 3 sessions of 35 minute exercise bouts a week. Each session will burn off approx 400 calories. Providing you have taken in enough energy when you exercise, then your body will fuel the activity from fat deposits where ever it is stored. For example...in our thighs and hips. This is the desired effect we want after all.

3. Resistance Exercise - This is where we can really target, tone and slim up our thighs. There are a range of Exercises For Thighs that can really do the job for us. My favourite, that is easy for all levels to learn, and can be done in your home is Lunges. Lunges target our entire legs; quads, hamstrings, butt and calves. Take a step forward with one leg, then slowly lower your rear knee to the ground. Raise the knee up, take a step back and switch legs. You should carry out 3 sets of 15 with each leg about 3 times a week. Try to do these after your cardio though.

If you make sure you have these three areas right then you will definately begin to see changes in two weeks. You now know how to slim thighs, the only thing left is for you to put this knowledge into action. Best of luck!
