I am pretty thin... but my thighs aren't. I do run A LOT! I also do situps, pushups, and jumping jacks every day. What can I do to get narrow thighs?

Join a local aerobics class. Excellent exercise to help you slim thighs

Buy a skipping rope and skip for 10 minutes, 3-4 times a week

All swimming is good. Even better is swimming on your back, using your legs only

But instead of sitting on the saddle, stand up and pedal as fast as you can


Specific Exercises for Slimmer Thighs
To exercise the back of your thighs

Stand with feet apart.

Bend forward from the waist.

Reach to your right with both hands and clasp your ankle with both hands.

Push your upper body downwards towards the floor.

Count to 20.

Return to start position and repeat exercise on the left-hand side.

To Exercise the Front of your Thighs
Kneel upright on the floor, with knees together.

Lean backwards and clasp your right ankle with your left hand.

Do not sit on your ankles - that's cheating!

Hold this position for a count of 20.

Return to start position and repeat exercise on the left-hand side.

Stand with feet apart, toes pointed outwards, and hands on the outside of your thighs.

Keeping your back straight, at right-angles to the floor, bend knees and allow your hands to slide down your thighs until they reach your knees. (Keep back straight!)

Hold your knees for a count of 5, then slowly return to start position.

Repeat 10-20 times.

-----------------------------------
Stand with feet slightly apart.

Stretch your arms straight out ahead of you.

Slowly bend your knees, until your thighs are roughly parallel with the floor.

Slowly raise yourself back to the starting position

The slower you do this, the better.

Start with 10 real slow ones.

But please don't strain yourself. Go at your own pace.

To avoid bulky muscles, always stretch the area you have exercised, afterwards

Reach upwards with both arms

Then reach forwards and try to clasp your right ankle. As you do so, push your upper body towards the floor

I have slim hips and feature constantly had a thigh hole. But my fats is quite often disbursed to my higher frame. So, it's viable for no less than a few folks with slim hips. You should not attempt to get a thigh hole simply you need to be healthful and in case your frame is supposed to have one through the years it'll evidently expand.

If you run a lot, it's little wonder you have muscular thighs. Don't worry about it. I doubt if anybody besides you objects.

Maybe you can relax a little instead of doing jumping jacks. They aren't a very useful exercise.

You can only narrow your hips as much as your hip bones will permit it.

You can eliminate fat but you cannot eliminate bone.
Usually women have broader hip bones than men due that they have to give birth and the baby has to come out thorough the hip bones. If the hip bones are too narrow the woman has to go thru a Cesarean operation to give birth.
