All of us have a problem area on our body where we really want to lose the weight.  But no matter how hard we go at it, we have no luck in that one specific area.

Do you want to lose weight on thighs? If you have tried, and no matter what you do nothing seems to work, don’t despair.  The thighs are one of the hardest places on the body lose weight.

You may feel that since you use your thighs when you are walking, they should be able to stay very slim. If you are one of the few people that do not have any real issues with your thighs, then lucky you!

But for the rest of us, we are not so luck and we strive to lose weight on thighs.

Some women can gain extra pounds from time to time. And more times than not, the pounds will go onto the hips or thighs.

The weight goes onto the thighs easiest but it is the hardest place to shift the weight from.

But to lose weight on thighs does not have to be an impossible task. By simply cutting back on how much fat you eat on a regular basis and increasing the exercise you do with your legs, then the fat on the hips and thighs will come off.


To lose weight on thighs does take a little dedication. You need to select the right exercises also. If you chose the wrong exercise, you will simply make your thighs larger due to putting on too much muscle in one area.

So as I was saying, control your eating. Make sure your diet contains a good portion of fiber and protein as this will give you the energy to train your legs.

And what type of exercise should you do to lose weight on thighs? Squats are good, along with lunges and leg lifts. If you don’t know what these are, do an internet search on how to do them. You’ll find plenty of websites that go into more detail on these exercises.

These exercises can be performed with dumbbells and weights. If you do these exercises with weights, keep the weights light and do multiple reps. This will keep your current muscles the same size and add tone to your thighs.

Squats and lunges are almost alike. With squats, you need to stand with both feet about shoulder width apart. Then using your knees,  bend down as far as you are can go without using any other body parts to get back up.

The lunge is a similar technique, but you alternate the right and the left foot in front of each other.

When doing the leg lifts, you need to stand straight and hold onto something solid for support if you feel the need. Alternate the feet and directions from front, back and side leg lifts.

You can also try lying on your side, starting with your top leg bent over your bottom leg and as far up the leg as you can. For the bottom leg, you should be doing some simple leg kicks in a straight up and down direction.

Yes, it hurts a little, but that is how you know it is working.

You should be able to lose weight on thighs with some determination and a little patience.  Just watch your calorie intake as well as the type of food you eat.
