subject: How To Lose Inches Off Your Hips And Thighs [print this page] How do those two phrases make you feel? I'm willing to bet that you don't feel very fine after reading them. They probably make you feel fat. For that I apologize. I don't want to make you feel fat. I want to make you feel like a lean, strong woman able of doing anything she sets her mind to.
There are a little things you need to start doing right now if you want to get rid of the thigh fat and get a set of strong, lean legs.
The first one is apparent. You need to clean up your diet.
That doesn't mean you need to rush out to the bookstore and grip the latest best-selling fad diet. That'll just make things poorer in the long run because you'll gain more weight than you lost when you go off the diet.
All it means is you need to get rid of fat gaining foods like process carbohydrates, too much chocolate (at least switch to extra dark), no matter which fried, and calorie-bomb coffee drinks. You then need to put back those things with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fat fighting nuts like almonds and lean sources of protein like chicken and turkey breast, and lean cuts of beef.
The next thing you need to do is focus on gap training for your cardio over the boring, monotonous 60-90 min you're used to. By doing interval training for your cardio, you'll burn more fat than with the moderate-paced stuff you've been force-fed for years, plus you'll get done in a part of the time.
There are lots of dissimilar ways you can do interval training. You can do it on a treadmill, elliptical, or motionless bike by mixing bouts of high intensity exercise for 20-40 seconds with bouts of very low intensity work out for 60-90 seconds. Repeat the cycle for around 12-15 minutes and you're done!
You'll be done with your cardio earlier than many of the ladies have even entered their "fat burning zone." A zone which doesn't live by the way.
The next thing you need to center on is performing resistance training properly.
To really lose fat off your thighs, you need to stop focusing on those separation exercises like the hip adductor/abductor machines, leg extensions, etc. and start focus on big compound movements like squat and lunges. There are so many variation of squats and lunges that you should never get bored with them.
And don't worry. Doing those movements will not give you bigger thighs. I don't care what you may have been told, it's practically not possible for most women to get big thighs from doing exercises.
