How To Lose Thigh Weight: 3 Easy, Fat Killing Exercises

So you've made the decision to lose a few pounds and are searching for some good information on how to lose thigh weight. Well you've found the right place.

In this article I will offer you three simple exercises that will specifically target the mid - lower half of your body, which includes your thighs, tummy, bum and legs. Their all easy workouts that anyone can do without a gym membership or attending a fitness class. First of all though, you must be in the right frame of mind, and make that final decision to take action after reading what I've written.

If you apply one or more of these workouts, and commit to achieving your goal weight and shape, you,ll soon have the thighs, bum and killer legs you've always wanted. So, let's get started...

1. Step exercises: This is a very simple exercise that specifically works the thigh among other parts. During and after each workout, you'll feel the burn of lactic acid in the muscles your targeting. Although uncomfortable, This sensation shows that the exercise is working, so think of that old saying about there being no gain without a little pain...

One of the most affective ways of striping fat off the hips has proven to be a step up movement. Although you can do this in a gym environment, you could easily do it at home. Use a chair or the first step of your staircase, as long as it's stable and you feel comfortable stepping on it.

You could try alternating both legs, one at a time, or work one leg first and then the other. Step up, then down thirty times each leg, and then rest for a minute. Of course, you may be able to do more, depending on your fitness level. Repeat this process four or five times per workout session.

Next you could try the same method but using a side step. This will take a little more balance and co-ordination, but practice makes perfect. Your probably safer trying this exercise at a low level such as the bottom step of your stairs.

Remember: You shouldn't step higher than nee level, and always be careful when attempting any such exercise.

2. Stairs exercises: This is a great one for burning fat and increasing fitness. Most of us have stairs in our homes and never give them much thought. It's amazing to think that only a few feet away from you as you read this, is a perfectly designed workout machine. One that we use everyday without thinking about it.

Now be warned! Doing this exercise every day will give you killer thighs, and legs to die for.

OK, this couldn't be simpler. Walk up and down the stairs for two minutes, or at least till you really feel the burn. Then rest for one minute and repeat four times. The pace is up to you, but be sure to increase your workout as your weight drops. You'll soon find, as with anything else, the more fitter you are, the easier it will become.

Note: To really start stripping the fat, do these routines at least twice a day, or as part of a one hour workout. You could try the step and stair workouts in the same session, or go for a brisk walk to make up the one hour a day. Another idea is to do one of these routines in the morning (when kids are in school) and one in the evening (kids are in bed).

3. Run: If you've never run for fitness reasons before, you may be under the assumption that only mad, fitness fanatics do it. Well, I can tell you from experience that running is not only one of the most affective activities for weight lose you could possibly do, but the most enjoyable too.

Get rid of the idea that running is too hard, and you'll never be able to run for long without stopping and gasping for breath. It's like anything else in life that you want to get good at, you have to work at it. Trust me, you'll find it uncomfortable at first, but soon you'll be able to run as long and far as you wish, and the self confidence and power you'll have will change your life.

The only equipment you'll really need is a good pair of running shoes, and a pair of legs of course. Find out exactly where one mile is from your home. Plan to run there and back for a two mile workout, or half the way there and back for a one mile run. It's also a great idea to pick a hill near by, and run it as often as you can. This will burn calories dramatically, and really shape your thighs.

If your not comfortable with the idea of running a mile, run for a few minutes at a time and walk in between. Soon your fitness levels will increase, and it won't be long before you hit the one mile marker, and so on.

Run three or four times a week if possible. Use one run a week as the long run. By this I mean, you should increase the distance by around ten - twenty percent each week, but only the long run. Gradually over time, you'll find the other weekly runs much easier, so increase them a little too.

One last word: The most powerful advice I, or anyone else can give you is this...

You must have the right mindset to achieve your goal weight or ideal shape. You must make that final decision to do this if you want to make that change in your life, and most importantly, take action!
