We’ve combined cardio and strength training to not only take off inches of your thighs, but to tone them as well. 

So, follow this guide closely and do at least 3 sets of 15 of each exercise initially for 5 times a week. The number of sets per exercise should gradually be increased as you get acclimated with the exercise. 

To recap,3 sets, 15 repetitions per setfor each exercise, take a breather of 30 seconds to 1 minute between each set.

This should go on for5 sessions a week.

Dieting tips for slimmer, trimmer thighs!

 Tip #1: Coffee to start the day

Coffee can stimulate your metabolism, your body’s fat-burning ability, and your workouts. 

But that’s for plain coffee, if you load it with too much sugar or cream it will backfire instead.

Do limit your coffee intake as well, as it can lead to crashes that contribute to overeating at night and generally not feeling great. So stick to two cups per day max.

Tip #2: Add more electrolytes

Most commonly touted in sports drinks, electrolytes like calcium, magnesium & potassium are important if you’re looking to trim your thighs.

The more electrolytes that you have, the less salt your body will retain, as it helps the body flushes out excess water.

Dark leafy greens, yogurt, and bananas are excellent sources of various types of electrolytes, so aim for nine servings of fruits and veggies every day: 2-3 half-cup servings of fruit, and the rest veggies (1 cup raw or 1½ cup cooked).

 

Tip #3: Add more water

Carry a bottle of water with you everywhere you go!

The less hydrated you are, the more your body holds on to water. So drinking adequate amounts of water flushes out the excess salt from your body, reducing bloating.

Staying hydrated also helps curb appetite, since being dehydrated has the same effects of being hungry. Aim for 2-3 litres per day, depending on how fast you lose water.

It also helps curb your appetite, since dehydration mimics hunger. Aiming for your two to three liters per day—on the higher end if you’re exercising or it’s hot outside.

Tip #4: Add more fiber & protein

You should try to pack every meal with as much fiber and protein if you want to shed that weight.

Both of these macronutrients help keep you fuller on fewer calories. Furthermore, studies have shown that diets rich in protein are more effective at reducing thigh fat than diets that are low in protein.

We recommend having 25 to 35 grams of fiber and 75 to 100 grams of protein per day from veggies, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats.

 

Tip #5: Cut the salt

You need to watch your salt intake.

Salt makes your body hold on to water more than it’s supposed to, and that can cause bloating which can affect your whole body, thighs included.

By cutting back on salt-loaded foods like processed foods, sauces, canned veggies, and soups, you’ll notice almost an immediate change in how you feel and how your clothes fit.

Tip #6: Cut down on carbs

It’s hard, but you need to cut down on your carbs.

When you eat carbs, your body turns the carbs into energy, and they’re stored together with water in your liver and muscles.

Which means, the more carbs you eat, the more bloated you become. Plus the stored energy if unused will be turned into fat.

If you have to eat carbs, try some whole grains since they're an excellent source of filling, heart-healthy fiber as well as folate, iron, magnesium, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.

Carbs to cut down on: Rice cakes, White rice, Cereal, White bread, Potato chips, Muffins, White pasta, Tortilla wraps, Bagels, Juice, Flavored yogurt, Energy bars, Sodas, Fancy coffee drinks, Crackers. 

Tip #7: Cut the cocktails

If you’re truly determined to lose those thunder thighs, you have to stop drinking liquid calories.

Alcohol contains a ton of calories, whether it's a light beer or a mixed drink, they can easily add up to at least 100 to 110 calories per beverage.

And when you’re tipsy-hungry, the food you order won’t usually be the healthier choice, like salty fries or wings.

That is why limiting how much and how often you consume booze can help you trim those thighs faster.

Follow these hacks for fabulous-looking thighs!

Hack #1: Always choose water

You know what the #1 enemy of most diets is? It’s not dessert, or unhealthy snacks – it’s sugary drinks. 

Sodas, fruit juices and other sweetened drinks are liquid calories that add hundreds of calories to your daily intake with no other nutritional benefits. 

So next time you’re hankering for a cold drink, reach for a glass iced water with a lemon wedge for taste. It’ll keep you well hydrated, which is crucial for your body’s ability to burn fat and build muscle, and it will help you stay full for longer too.

Hack #2: Have Ample Sleep

This has been studied so much by professionals — that if you’re not getting enough sleep, you’re not going to lose fat, no matter how intensely you’re working out.

Your body needs sleep as a conducive time to rest and recover from activities, and reshape your body while you’re snoozing.

So if you’re not getting enough rest, you won’t see the results you want – plus being cranky & sleep deprived can drive you to reach for sugar loaded drinks and treats to stay awake.

Hack #3: If You Want To Eat, You Have to Write

Exercise alone isn’t enough to trim your thighs. You’ll need proper nutrition and diet too.

If you’re trying to eat right, a great habit to get into is noting down what you’re eating in a day, and tracking your calories. When you do that, you’re much less likely to reach for an unhealthy snack — because you know you’ll have to write it down.

Plus, it’ll let you see how many calories you’re eating a day, which will help you know if you’re on track for your weight loss goals. Just don’t go less than 1200 calories in a day and you’ll be fine.

Hack #4: Eat Small Meals Over The Course Of The Day

It might seem counterintuitive to eat more... 

But a great way to make sure you don’t over eat and keep your total calorie intake down is to eat something small every few hours.

If you wait for hours just to indulge in a big meal, chances are you’re going to overeat, which will set you back in your fitness goals. We recommend eating small meals of around 150 calories every few hours, and pick foods that have tons of protein and fiber.

Hack #5: Fashion Tips To Help Chub Rub

If your thighs aren’t as slim as you’d like, and the uncomfortable chafing is still getting to you, here are a few recommendations to help you conquer chub rub:

Shorts — A breathable (and make sure comfortable) set of shorts are the perfect barrier to stop that unwanted friction between your thighs.

Bandelettes — Bandelettes are elastic lace bands that are less conspicuous which you can pop around your thighs, stopping any chaffing while looking a little sexier than the often-ugly shapewear-style shorts you may come across.

Cut up some tights — Want a more affordable alternative to shorts and bandelettes? Well listen up! Those tights you were just about to throw out ? Keep them. Cut them to the length you want, and slip them on under a skirt. Chub rub gone.

Talcum powder — If you’re after a cheap and pleasant-smelling remedy, talcum powder will do the trick. It doesn’t normally last for more than half an hour, but it works well on sensitive skin and is easy to slap on.

Roll-on deodorant — It’s quick, easy, and pretty cheap. Get yourself an unscented roll-on (ones for sensitive skin work best, although any will do the job) and stick some between your thighs. You’ll probably need to reapply it every few hours, but this non-greasy solution is a life-saver.
