Whether its thigh, belly or hip fat there isn't a way to pick which areas you will burn your fat for the most part. You must lose weight in all your body. You don't get to choose. Lose fat and your body will decide.
It makes the most sense to do things that help you burn fat from all areas of your body. This would include following a healthy diet and do resistance workouts. Does this method promise the melting away of thigh fat overnight? NO. But it's the most effective consistent methods for losing that fat quickly and for sure.
The diet you choose: If you cannot exercise you will want to choose a diet that will manipulate your body's own fat burning hormones. Calorie shifting diets work well for this. Also when looking for the right diet make sure you choose one that feels as if you are NOT on a diet so that you stick to it.
These types of diets will actually get your metabolism to work faster while traditional low calorie diets will actually do the opposite! If you cut down on your calories too much the body thinks it's going to starve so it will actually slow down to preserve itself! Uh oh!
You can lose a little weight in the beginning but you almost ALWAYS plateau and end up gaining even more weight.
Exercising: If you are able to exercise this will just increase your weight loss even more. Strength training is usually the best kind of exercise for quick weight loss. When you add muscle to your body it helps in burning fat so you have three things working for you at the same time! You can actually burn 50 calories a day with just 1 pounds of muscle even while you're resting!
Use These 2 Exercises to build muscle in your legs and put the fat burning into verdrive
Dumbbell Lunges: This will work your quades, glutes, inner and outer thighs. Start with a weight you can do for at least 20 repitions then move up as needed. More weight less reps will equal more muscle growth. Less weight more reps will build muscular endurance.
Leg Extensions: This works out primarily your quads. You will need a machine to do this. Same rule applies as above as far as weight and reps.
Fat Need To Lose Weight
Don't you just wish that you can lose fat in a certain area by doing simple things? Trust me; I have definitely been wanting to just cut off my fat on my stomach at times. It gets so frustrating at times when your body doesn't distribute fat all over and you only get one or two problem areas that you just cant understand.
Im sure we have all been there with being unhappy with our legs, butt, stomach, you name it! Even people that are not overweight sometimes get a little bit of fat in an area that they are unhappy with. For example, my sister weighs 108 lbs and she is 5'4. This may seem like an ideal weight for her height, but she hates her legs because she has a bit of cellulite on them. With someone weighing that much it almost seems impossible.
People that usually have a problem area will tend to do exercises for that specific place to reduce the amount of fat there. People will fall for all of the new television ads that promise to flatten tummies, lift the butt, and tighten the legs. But is this the proper way to go about losing weight in certain areas?
Actually, you may believe or not but working out your problem areas to get rid of fat is a myth. It does not work to target only a specific area that you are unhappy with. When you exercise that certain area all you will be doing is gaining muscle. Now, you will pretty much be wasting your time because your muscles will be covered by the fat. So you can forget about getting that ab lounge or bun and thigh roller because they wont work if you need to lose weight first.
Right now, there are also creams on the market that claim you can lose inches by spreading it on your problem areas. I wont even get into this subject because it is a darn right scam. People will buy into these products with hope they don't have to do anything, but this method is kind of like using the magic diet pill. It doesn't exist!
The best way to lose the fat in your problem is to get onto a good diet plan and exercise a lot. When you do cardio with weight training combined you will be able to melt the fat away quickly. As soon as you start cardio your body will know exactly where to put the fat away from and will melt it away for good.
