What are the best ways to tone up your thighs. I exercise and do squats. I am not seeing any result? |
I ride the stationary bike at the gym. My thighs still appear to be flabby. all suggestions are welcomed. I also use the leg lift machine. Many people are told that if they do high repititions with low weight it will result in better toned muscles in that area. This is simply not true. High reps and low weight will help with muscle endurance but not with tone. The best way to tone your thighs is to concentrate on losing weight. Since one cannot "spot reduce" (losing fat in just one area) you're going to need to concentrate on eating a healthy diet that will supplement your endurance exercise. Let me know if this helps and if you need any more information. to me riding the stationary bike does no good.I prefer to ride a real bike because powering up a hill or other things really has done wonders for my thighs and my mans Heed this simple advice: Watch your diet. You made no mention of it in your post, so I will assume that you eat junk like 80% of our population. Doing any type of exercise will only tone the muscles underneath the fat. So essentially, lose the fat and your muscles will show. Ta-da! Bleh @ thighs! I swear they're the bane of most women! The thing is that for most women, the thighs and under the arms are two of the first places we store excess fat. For men, it's the tummy so they get the whole Buddha effect going on. From IVillage: "Another popular misconception is that you can replace fat with muscle. By the time we reach adulthood, we have a finite number of fat cells and muscle fibres. The only thing we can do is try to influence their size. Reduce your body fat and all of your fat cells will be smaller, including the ones located in your inner thigh area. When you build muscle, you increase the size of the muscle fibres you already have, but you don't add new cells." Their advice? Don't diet. Rather than trying the latest fad diet or skipping meals, just reduce the total amount of calories you consume daily. Burn calories. Reduce your daily calorie deficit even more by increasing the amount of time you exercise over the course of a week. Aerobic exercise (walking, cycling, rollerblading, swimming), performed three to five times a week for 30-60 minutes can help you increase your daily calorie deficit. Personally, I went the whole thigh-cruncher way (I abhorr gyms) and cut back on calories and fat intake and am - finally - seeing a serious difference. From experience, though, I'd say to give it a solid few months before you really start seeing much of a change you'll be happy with. http://www.ivillage.co.uk/dietandfitness... You should probably focus on squats up to 400 pounds. Madeleine Albright can squat 400 pounds and her thighs are in excellent shape. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news... |
