Overview

Follow these steps and these thigh slimming workouts to get lean legs.

This body part is one of the most commonly disliked areas, with most people believing that they are too large. While it is impossible to target weight loss to one particular body part, there are specific exercises that you can do to firm and tone legs, which ultimately leads to a smaller, slimmer lower body.

Here are some tips & exercises that provide real results.

Embrace cardio to slim legs.
Half an hour of cardio, on at least 5 days of the week is one of the most important factors in your efforts to lean out the lower body. Because targeted weight loss is not possible, an overall trend towards a healthy body weight is what will get you real results when it comes to getting slimmer legs.

If you are not at a healthy BMI, a proportionate body and toned lower body will be immensely difficult, so focus on this important basic element first.

Do this Leg Slimming Pilates Video a few times a week and you wont even need a gym to get your workout done.

Add squat exercises to your routine.
Squat exercises are the fastest and most surefire route to a firm, lifted butt and toned legs. Squats also burn a significant amount of calories because of the large muscle groups that they call upon. Add a round of this exercise to your workout routine for a flattering and noticeable change in your physique.

Do workouts like this Butt & Thigh Routine for a Rounder, Lifted Butt 2 to 3 times a week and watch how quickly you can shape the lower body.

Here’s another move that works the lower body; Stand with your back straight, using a wall or chair for balance if necessary. Using a slow and controlled motion, lift one leg out to the side as high as you can. Do not swing the leg to gather more motion, and don’t push yourself beyond what is comfortable. Even with a limited range of motion, you will feel the muscles burning after 15-20 repetitions.

Lunge your way to toned legs.
Lunges target both the gluteus and the thighs. Many people shy away at these muscle toning exercises when they want smaller thighs, but what they don’t realize is that muscle takes up significantly less room than fat. Lunges utilize multiple muscle groups to lift the butt and burn a lot of calories, making them one of the most essential lower body exercises.

Walk on an incline.
Walking is one of the best things that you can do for your body; your BMI, your heart, and your weight loss goals. If you want to tone thighs and firm the glutes, walk at an incline to achieve both. Walking at an incline not only serves as a way to tone up, it also burns a higher number of calories than walking on a level surface.
