How to Lose Thigh Fat Fast

Are you upset because someone called you thunder thighs?  If you feel that your thighs are just too fatty, there is hope!  You can tone your thighs and get rid of the extra thigh fat.  It is no complicated at all.  If you exercise the different areas of your thighs, you will give them an attractive shape, and burn away the fat.

There are three basic areas on your thighs.  In order to have shapely thighs, you should work each angle of your thighs.  These sections are the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip adductors.  You can isolate each part of the thigh with different exercises for each one.

Exercise Your Quadriceps to Burn Thigh Fat

• Side lunge - Stand with your feet hip's width apart. Holding your body straight up, step over to the left, bending your knee.  Push off of your left foot and come back to the starting position.  Now do the same thing on the right side.  Repeat this routine 5-10 times on each side.
• Step-up - Use you left foot to step-up onto an aerobic step or the bottom stair.  You can also use a bench that comes up to knee height for this exercise.  Step back down, and then step-up with your right foot.  Repeat this 5-10 times on each side.  For greater resistance, you can place a barbell across your shoulders.
• Walking lunge - Take a big step forward.  Your front leg should bend at about a 90 degree angle, and your back knee should almost reach the floor.  Pull yourself up with your front leg and come to a standing position.  Now step forward with your other leg and do the same thing.  Repeat this walking across the room.  You can also do this while holding a barbell across your shoulders to add resistance. 

Exercise Your Hamstrings to Burn Thigh Fat

• Lying leg curl - Lying face down on a bench, bend your legs back towards your buttocks.  Doing this with a cable attached to your feet works well.  Do several repetitions of this, until your hamstrings grow fatigue.
• Standing leg curl - Standing up, with your feet shoulder's width apart, bring your left foot towards your buttocks.  Put your left foot down, and bring your right foot towards your buttocks.  Repeat until you are fatigue.  There are machines at the gym that you can use to add extra resistance to this exercise.  You can also wear ankle weights to increase resistance.
• Good morning - This exercise is like a bow.  Stand with your feet close together and your knees straight.  Keeping your knees straight, bow down from the waist.  Lean slightly forward to make sure that you use your hamstrings.  Now come back up, and repeat for several repetitions.

Exercise for hip adductors

• Leg lifts -  Lay down on your side on a mat or bench.  Rest your head on your arm while it is extending above your head.  Lift your leg high, quickly, and slowly lower it back down.  Do not lower your leg all the way down, but immediately raise it again.  Repeat this 10 times.  Now switch to your other side and do the same thing.
• Standing hip adduction - You can do a similar exercise standing up.  Balance yourself on one foot.  Raise your left leg to the side while keeping the rest of your body straight.  Slowly bring your leg downwards and loosely cross it over your other leg.  Without touching the floor, raise your leg back up, and repeat the motion.  Rest, and then do the same thing with your other leg.

Many of these exercises can be done with a cable or exercise machine to add resistance.  Remember that toning the muscle will help you to burn thigh fat.
