hey thighs are for women
why u want to get rid of them
r u married?
men like them. even then if u want to then just do these exercises.
just sit on the floor and bend ur head upto knees without bending knees - this will tone up ur thigh muscles
2. stand straight and bend from waist till u r comfortable touching your feet with ur hand fingers. repeat these exercises 3 to 5 times staying in the position till u feel comfortable, atleast for 1 to 2 min.
c the results after one week. if u feel good continue.
within one month ur thighs will be shaped and u will find they r reduced.
if u r successful then u can contact me. just say hello

jogging, brisk walking, aerobic exercise that will allow you to lose fats. control your diet so that you burn more claories than you intake, you can tell by some weight loss, but also be aware, muscles do weigh a bit more than fats. eat healthily and in moderation and you'll see a slimmer legged you in a few weeks. You can't control where you lose fats, but eventually you'll see the loss on your thighs.

This is a problem area for me too. I have found the following to be effective:
1. For overall fatloss through aerobic activity, do
Brisk walking (1 hr) or
Stair-climbing or
Stationary-bike cycling for 30 mins at speeds of >30kmph (or >90 rpm)

2. Besides this, you must also do toning exercises which can be done on an exercise mat. Some examples are:
(please use a cushion or a rolled-up towel or both your hands to support your lower back)

a) Slow leg raises lying on your back;alternate legs at first and then both together. Do 10 reps, hold for 10 counts and pulse 10 times. Increase as it becomes easier. This also tones lower abs.

b) Side kicks (done standing) or side leg raises (lying on your sides) upto an angle of say 60 degrees. Again, reps, hold, pulse.

c) Hamstring curls

d) Lying on your back, lift both legs to 90 degrees and spread legs as far away as possible. Bring back to starting position. After the decided no. of reps, hold them apart fully stretched for a few secs and then pulse.
Rest .
Spread legs again and rotate clockwise for few counts and anti-clockwise for a few counts.

e) Do cycling lying on your back with one leg at a time first, then both legs. Do half the reps using forward motion and half in reverse.

f) We also do the "doggie" and "donkey" exercises at our gym. But its difficult to describe in words.

walking would help tremendously! I like to go to the mall and walk... and shop! just when u do go lay low from the starbucks... because then your excercise will be kinda wasted... but i know its hard to not go when you smell and here the coffee call ur name!

If you are an outdorse person then you could go to the park with acouple of your friends and you could catch up on all the latest gossip while excersising...

I hvnt ever tried this but jazersing... sum of my friends do it and the totally love it.. you should try it.. ive heard its kinda like a dance class.. but with more excersing

Healthy weight loss tips


* Take one pound at a time
Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.

Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.

Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.


* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.

The same logic applies for losing weight.

* Stay off the scales
Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.

If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.

* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.

* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.

* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.

* Reward yourself
# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.

* Seek help if you need it
# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.

* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.
