Slimming Thighs
I am a curvy female. I work out 6 days a week. My stomach is flat and you can see my abs. I eat meals throughout the day like fruit smoothies with fruit and soy milk, oatmeal, and protein drinks. I have tried all kinds of leg exercises with high rep, low weights to slim my thighs and have had no success. Thoughts or ideas?
Squats, Squats…..and more squats. Lunges, Front, side, walking, and step ups. You can never go wrong with these movements. try adding one particular element such as HIIt when you do these lower leg routines. Recent research may suggest that you can actually Spot reduce, YES spot reduce when training one specific are in this case the legs and then perform a cardio type of movement for a high intense short period of time. A research study found that when subjects were performing leg curls that the quadriceps actually were the first area where body fat was used for energy and essentially Pulled from the working area (in this case the legs). So by combining the research that shows that HIIt is best for fat loss and this study, one would assume that you can spot reduce one part of the area when training and utilizing HITT training. My suggestion would be in between every set try jump roping or doing step ups at a steady fast pace for 30-45 seconds in between sets. Additionally try this program. http://www.workouttrainer.com/home/articles/lower-leg-glute-solution
