Hi,

It's sounds like you have a petite build, so your thighs are probably down to your genetics or type of exercise you do. So I would say start off with doing 20 - 30 mins cardio in the morning on a empty stomach, this way your body has to use bodyfat and your muscle mass for fuel.

Second thing to do is follow a low GI eating plan (which you can get from any bookstore) which will consist of Protein (chicken, Fish, Nuts and Pulses) and low GI carbs like Wholemeal Bread, Brown Rice, Sweet potatoes and good fats like olive oil, Avocados, Fatty fish and Nuts.

Also each week try and up your cardio by 5 mins every 2 weeks until you can complete a full hour, this way there is no room for your body to get complacent.

You should start to notice your clothes feeling looser around the thighs in a few weeks.

you can also find some good supplements to help you lose weight at www.sculptrexfitsystem.co.uk

You can thank me later when you see the results :-)

Forget targeting your thighs, as already pointed out you can't lose fat from one part of the body.

Unless you just want to lose weight generally (if so, the best way is to burn-up more calories than you consume), you have two options:

1. Tone up the upper legs with more exercise than you get already - running, cycling, rowing elliptical etc, or

2. Accept that you have quite big thighs (which though it is your perception, it may not be sombody elses).

im guessing you wnat to lose inches not weight.

The best thing is anything that will tone ytour thighs but in moderation so that your muscle mass doesnt build too much as your thioghts will get bigger.

Try a mixture of exercises, sports, stretches and resistance movements such as:

swimming, cycling, running, walking, any sports that involve runnign around, exercise classes, yoga, squats, lunges etc

good luck

Well be careful...if you do big workout for legs you will only replace your fat by muscles...I don't find big muscles pretty on a woman. You can't really lose weight in only one spot of your body it's been studied many times. If you're happy with your body why worry about your thighs....learn to accept them and to use them to your advantage.

Having less than 1 200 calories a day may slow down your metabolism

Say to friends, family and work co-workers that you’re dieting. Support from the people around you keeps a person motivated, stops you from cheating and makes it less likely that you will fall off the wagon.

Bike riding or invest in an exercise bike or get yourself down to your local gym where they can advise you on what apparatus to use. Or by yourself a stepper.

Hope this helps. Good - Luck.
