How to get thigh gap?

[Anonymous]

The title is self explanatory. I need the hack to get a thigh gap. I've heard that if you don't have a wide hip structure it isn't possible, my hip structure isn't particularly wide, but its not very small either. So is there a possibility even with a narrow and tiny hip structure that I could get a thigh gap, or considering when you lose weight you lose weight everywhere, it would make me way too thin in other places? Also, can biking, jogging, squats (the basics for leg exercises) possibly make my legs bigger rather than smaller? thanks! ( PLEASE READ ALL!) (AND PLEASE BRING UP EXERCISE NAMES!)

Guys please stop with the, "Why do you want one, gross, stop". I've decided I want to try it out, I'll gain the weight back if its not my cup of tea. But for the moment its my decision, I'm just trying out something new. It grew into society.

First off, don't lose weight if your already a health weight and body mass.
Also nothin wrong with wanting to tone up or having a goal. I want v-lines and you want a thigh gap, nothing wrong with that. We all have goals. But I need you to understand that there are things your not willing to do to look a certain way. No eating disorders or diet pills. If your healthy but never get to your goals that's fine, but if you get to your goals but aren't healthy then you've failed.
Anyways, hip structure is the main role in getting a thigh gap. So if your slightly overweight an lost 10lbs but don't have a thigh gap, then you probably won't have one If you lost one. I have medium sized hips an I have one, but that's just my body. Once again don't sweat, that's just something's about your body you can't change just like race or eye color.
Next regular leg exercise without weights, are just made to tone the existing muscles and to shape everything. But leg workouts that involve weights are meant to grow the muscle. Those are just some facts and if you have any questions be sure to ask

Thank you so much!!! And i'm perfectly healthy, i'm told by tons of my friends that i'm so thin and they wish they had my body, etc. I eat the perfect amount of everything. I recently found out the only way you can get a thigh gap starts with hip structure, and to gain a thigh gap you have to have thin legs, and exercise would only bulk them up, so it all relies on hip structure and weight loss! Thankyou for making the concept more simple for me! :) And I do have 1 question: Would biking and jogging bulk up my legs as well as losing fat, or is the only way to a thigh gap (other than hip structure) losing weight?

[aamy811]

If your already thin, then I don't suggest loosing weight; because that May Lea to malnourishment. So I would definitely try toning things like biking and jogging. You'll get done muscle of course, because your legs need to be able to support your body, But it would be thin and lean.

[ChiefWahoo]

The only weigh to lose weight and have a thigh gap, through exercise, is to only exercise the upper part of your body. The problem then is, it becomes unproportional. You have to chose. Thin, or no thigh gap

[Asker]

Btw! I'm sorry! I meant to choose you as Most Helpful and forgot your comment was here because it was below a really nice comment that made me feel better because I was getting some hateful comments. If you'd like I can make up a question, you can answer, and i'll choose you as most helpful haha.

[aamy811]

No it's totally fine, I don't mind. It's happened to us all

[CreatingMyself]

Find some way to make yourself bowlegged.
No but seriously, people aren't supposed to have thigh gaps. People with thigh gaps are either anorexic/Bulimic and eating way too little or bowlegged. Forget about a thigh gap and aim for becoming fitter and healthier:)

[Asker]

Thankyou. You're so right. I mean I didn't want a huge thigh gap but I wanted slimmer thighs, I just don't want a thunder thighs. People who have thigh gaps that I know either have really big hip structures or have eating disorders. And I don't want to get into an eating disorder! So thank you and you're so right! :)

[Azara]

losing weight is the only wait. if you exercise areas you'll grow muscle it won't give you a gap.

if you were 5 5 and 85 pounds you'd definitely have a gap... possibly up to 95 pounds. if you're 5 9 and 1`05 you'd like;ly have a gap possibly up to 115.

[Asker]

Ya i'm 5'4 and i'm 100 pounds. Thats not fat is it? I definitely don't have a thigh gap now. I don't really need one though.

[Azara]

no its not fat at all... its like hewing 53 and 95 pounds.

you'd probably get a gap if you lost 5 or 10 pounds. you could do it just to see and if you dont like it gain the weight back. 5 pounds is rediculously easy to lose anyhow, no big deal and it won't make you look all that different body wise.

[Asker]

Ok thankyou!

[Azara]

sure no problem.

by the way if you exercise areas you want to trim down while losing weight, those areas will lose first.

[Illusive_Man]

Thigh gap is a bit like six packs.
You can lean down , but once you're lean... the shape of your muscles and the insertion is all just genetics.

Look at this picture.
They're all pretty lean , but all of them have different abs shape.
Some of them have a wider separation , some of them are lower set.

It's the same for "thigh gaps" , you can try leaning down , but once you're lean , the shape of your quad muscles will be what dictate if you have a thigh gap or not... (excluding anorexics)

[Asker]

Ok thank you. If I lose weight there over time and my hip structure stays the same because of genetics, I think i'd just move on and be happy without the thigh gap. :))

[Illusive_Man]

Hey , genetics may determine how it'll look but you can still be fit and healthy if you work for it eh?

[maskofinsanityy]

I like that you have eye candy on your posts for male and female

[Illusive_Man]

@maskofinsanityy
And now everyone is happy lol

This one. This one right here milady.

[been_waiting]

You can't spot reduce, and building muscle in your legs would be counterproductive. All you could do is lose a bunch of weight, but there's still no guarantee because it really does depend on hip width but you might also store most of your fat in your thighs and if that's the case, its not coming off.

Besides... thigh gaps aren't sexy. Honestly.

[Asker]

Ya, exercise would just bulk up my legs, and to lose fat without gaining muscle i'd have to eat less. And ya, most guys always tell me they prefer bigger thighs over thigh gaps. You're so right, I definitely needed a straightforward, simple answer like this that doesn't confuse me. Thankyou! :))

[been_waiting]

Yo welcome. Anytime.

[Random_chick_2384]

Try eating paleo. It's no dairy no gluten no high processed foods. Google what it is. And try walking for 30+ every day. or jogging. If u want muscle or get a workout try cross fit. Trust me on this I had 2 family members do this and they lost a ton of weight.

[Asker]

Ok thanks so much! I'm glad you have personal experience about it, i'm really convinced it works now. :)

[CommieDearest]

Photoshop.

[Asker]

Omg I saw that. Thats like such a famous photo shop. And look at her right hip. You can see it was photoshopped lol.

[CommieDearest]

Clearly. Look, this thigh gap craze is nuts. No one even cares about it but some chicks. Don't kill yourself trying to get a thigh gap. Please.

[Asker]

Definitely not. I'm aiming far away from eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia! Thanks for your comment and your concern! :)

[CommieDearest]

Yep. Anytime.

[Asker]

Aw nooo! bulimia isn't even funny to joke about! Girls who do that have a mental issue and re seriously obsessed with being skinny. I just want to tone done my legs a bit and I definitely don't want to go overboard!!

[lumos]

Not cool, rhtomas.

[lumos]

And I still can't spell your username without making a typo...

[rthomas43]

@lumos
Yeah, I've noticed I've been a bit more insensitive as of late.

And you always mess it up!
Just call me Josh :) lol

[gatorgirl12]

I have very wide hips and a thigh gap and I don't want a thigh gap lol If my thighs touched I would be happy. I think it's just genetics or something because I see people who are my height and weight but they don't have thigh gaps.

[kittykatg]

Thigh gaps overall are unnatural. Yes if you do those leg exercises there is a possibility of them getting bigger due to gaining muscles and losing fat.

[Asker]

Wouldn't gaining muscles just make them thicker?

[kittykatg]

Exactly thicker bigger whatever word you want to use. Gaining muscle can cause that area to become larger.

[lumos]

Care to explain why they're "unnatural"?

[kittykatg]

From the studies I've read it's usually from a hip problem that women get thigh gaps. So it's not totally unnatural, that probably wasn't the best choice in words. I guess I should've said unhealthy. So people naturally have them but usually it's unhealthy and can only come from being born that way or surgery.

[lumos]

Do you have any links?

[kittykatg]

I could see if I can find them again.

[kittykatg]

Here are some links. www.fitnessblender.com/.../
www.motherhoodthetruth.com/.../
www.brockhealthmagazine.ca/truth-behind-thigh-gap/

[lumos]

Okay, so... nothing in those links suggests that *having* a thigh gap is unhealthy. All I got from them is that what's unhealthy is how people try to achieve the thigh gap, especially if they're actually not built for having it in the first place. Nowhere do they state that having a thigh gap = unhealthy. They only say that what people do in order to "achieve" a thigh gap = unhealthy, considering that most people who don't have a thigh gap, but want one, go great lengths to get one (by starving themselves and exercising excessively).
Claiming that a thigh gap = unhealthy is basically like saying that broad shoulders = unhealthy. Your wording is a bit clumsy and I really hope that you don't automatically assume that everyone with a thigh gap is unhealthy or natural, considering that plenty of girls have a thigh gap naturally because of their bone structure, and not because they starve themselves.

[lumos]

unhealthy or unnatural*

[kittykatg]

I agree I misspoke. It unhealthy only if you don't have to body structure to begin with.

[Yellowbone]

Your body has to have one naturally OR you have to lose a shit ton of weight & be bone skinny or even beyond bone skinny, & even then, you still might not have one.

P. S. It ain't that serious, bruh.

[sovetskii13]

Oh please forget about thigh gaps already. Guys don't even notice or think about them. Who started this whole thigh gap obsession here? That girl has problems.

[Anonymous]

Usually girls with wide hips get wider and fstter when they have children. :/ sorry wide hipped chicks. And thigh gaps are gross. There's this chick at my school with one and she walks like a chicken with her ass stuck out so guys can notice her.

[Asker]

Ya a lot of girls at my school either have fat stubby short legs or chicken legs that have no shape and look like sticks. I want it in-between! Thin but shapely toned legs. But its pretty hard to get or it may be impossible to have toned legs that have shape and still have a tiny bit of a thigh gap.

[rjroy3]

Genetics. Fat Loss. Time to let the skin shrink and tighten to your legs.
Then pray that you have the genetics to even have a stupid thigh gap.

[Asker]

Ya you're on point. Basically like you said I have to have a genetically wide hip structure, I have to lose weight instead of exercising, and wait to grow. And once again like you said, its true they're a stereotypical stupid quality that girls think is attractive but really isn't to guys.

[rjroy3]

Not weight loss. Fat loss specifically. The scale doesn't measure your fat loss.

But yea. The "thigh gap" is a new trend for skinny girls to glorify being skinny as beautiful. It's silly, because guys don't give a damn about it.

[GODOFSEX]

I hate thigh gap. it looks like skeleton. women r meant to be curvy with thick thighs. yummy.

[Asker]

Haha, you're right, lol :)

[Man4DaJoB]

i think the majority hates it.
i also hate it don't know why would anybody want that ugly shape

[Lelialia]

U can't unless ur body is made like that or u become anorexic

[Asker]

Well i'm planning on losing a few pounds and if I don't like the way it looks i'll gain it back. And I don't want a serious thigh gap, I basically just want to get my legs a little thinner, and I don't want stick legs ew! I want thin legs that still have shape. :)

[Sky93]

Ugh I don't like thigh gaps very much. I like my thighs close together and I don't care what anybody says about it

[Asker]

I'm still not sure if I want one though, i'm planning on losing 4 pounds to gain one, if I don't like it then i'm going to gain back the weight. But at the moment, my thighs are very very close friends and they don't like to be apart, but it really doesn't bother me haha. I'm just trying out something new.

[lumos]

Why the hell do you care? This is literally the most stupid shit to care about. Stop.

[Asker]

Becasuse its grown into society. Yes, its a thing now. And its not my fault that its my nature to want what I don't have.

[Asker]

by the way you could of came about this answer in a nicer way.

[Anonymous]

Lose weight. If you have 'flab' then workout your inner thigh muscle.

[Asker]

Thanks.

[djjohnsen13]

Why are girls nowadays obsessed with a thigh gap?

[Asker]

I don't want a huge one, i'd just like thinner thighs and maybe even a thigh gap. I love wearing skirts in the winer, like jackets with skirts and knee high socks, its just a cute combo, and to look REALLY good in a skirt you need thin thighs. I'm not obsessed with it though.

[djjohnsen13]

You don't need thin anything. My girlfriend has thighs that are 23" around, each, and she looks amazing in a skirt. Honestly, the more space you have between extremities and torso/other extremities, the sicker you look. It goes the other way, too: don't get me wrong. People who have layers of fat deposits on their arms and legs look just as ill, often more so, but please don't try to warp your body to that extent. It isn't attractive.

[Asker]

Thankyou, I know, you're right, thanks for the self confidence lesson lol :)

[djjohnsen13]

No need to be snarky.

[crystalt70]

I don't understand this obsession with thigh gaps.

[Asker]

Its complicated... very complicated. I can't explain, really, it just became a thing and went downhill front here.

[crystalt70]

It's unhealthy to be so obsessed with something like that. Thigh gaps shouldn't be "a thing". You either have it or you don't. It's genetics. People are becoming bulimic and anorexic worrying about something that they really have little control over. My daughter's friend has this thigh gap, but it's how she is shaped. She looks like a walking stick. I'd rather be shapely with nice thighs.

[Asker]

Thats so true. If you really look at those really thin people they often have no shape and they do look like sticks. And every guy I personally know like girls with shape. I mean look at Marilyn Monroe! She had her own look and was really shapely and men loved her. You're right, I should really stop focusing on it. Thankyou. :))

[crystalt70]

Marilyn Monroe was an icon. Men absolutely loved her. All men like something different. Some like thin girls. Some like thick girls. Some like bigger girls. It's just a matter of personal preference. Just be happy with who you are and love yourself. Women worry more about small things like a thigh gap than most men would even notice. Men like happy women.

[hatit]

? why do you want a thigh gap?

[MyCatHatesMee]

Sorry it's all in the hip stucture.

[Asker]

Ya I know genetics plays a HUGE part. But i'm pretty young so I still have time to see how my body grows.

[maskofinsanityy]

Isn't it genetic?

[Asker]

Ya you're genetics mainly decide whether you get a thigh gap or not. Especially hip structure, people with a tiny hip structure won't have that space in between their legs, while people with a wide hip stricture have a lot of space in between their legs.

[Anonymous]

Lose weight overall

[Asker]

I guess that'd work.. Thanks!

[cavmanier]

That's the only way if it's possible for you.
