I want small thighs!

[Anonymous]

i have thunder thighs and I hate it.

i go to the gym regularly and I run about 2 miles every time I go there.

I'm not sure if running will make me loose the weight? or just make my thighs bigger since its building muscle.

what are some things at the gym I can do that will make them thinner.

also my arms are huge. how do I do that too?

cardio does not build muscle, least not in the scope your thinking. Body builders avoid cardio like a fat kid avoids brocoli for a reason... Sorry I thought it was funny. Ultimately the way you are talking you want cardio.

Cardio is the way you shed pounds and maybe tone up some depending on what form of cardio. Swimming is not technically cardio because of all the resistance it's going to actually build. Yoga is more resistance based so again may build but definitely tones. Tai bo and all those dance things are great it's a crap load of natural movements and tons of cardio which is close to what you may be wanting.

If you do any weights you have to hit your entire body within a week otherwise your body will not do anything. If I recommended a workout for you it would be something like:

day 1: arms, chest, abs

day 2: back, shoulders, legs

day 3 : arms, chest, abs... you get the picture (just make sure you have two days off at least)

reason being your hitting your entire body just in two days and the next two days you can focus on anything you want to target. Now how do we make this cardio, and not muscle building... ALL reps must be a MINIMUM of 15 times, for however many sets you do... If you want to do a bunch of sets in a row as fast as you can hit 100 and trying not to rest between do it, if you want to do 2 sets and do 35 reps each, do it... Just mix things up and try and have fun with it.

Its a common misconception that women bulk up from working out. Women are physically designed to gain tone as opposed to muscle size. For thigh size loss, running, and squats are very effective. For general weight loss, running again is effective as well as swimming.

Also for increased chances of weight loss, change your eating habit from 3 main meals a day to 6, smaller (healthier) more frequent meals. This causes your body to digest your food slower and as a result, distribute the carbs and fat more evenly as opposed to concentrated areas.

Running is really good exercise for you, I try to do 3 miles a day and I can definitely notice a difference in my legs. So yes running will help you lose weight.

BUT you have to eat right, you can exercise all you want, but if you're not feeding yourself with the right foods, you won't achieve your goal. Cut out the junkfood, soda, starbucks, alchol, etc. and drink a lot of water. And is all about portion control.

Women can't bulk up like men do, unless we take steroids or something of that nature. So don't worry about that.

For your arms do any exercise that will work your triceps

For your thighs do lunges, leg extensions, various forms of squats, etc. Walking luges are really good.

Try going to nowloss.com .. I find that a pretty helpful website or google thigh exercises.

You can't spot reduce, and losing fat from thighs tends to be difficult since we're women and store fat there >.<

Just stick to a good diet and exercise plan and don't get discouraged! :))

after running, you need to do weights. it'll tone you up.

try switching your routine workouts too. maybe do dance classes, jump rope, etc. just make sure you dedicate at at least 2 days a week to toning/ weight training.

Ya know I got a theory as to why so many women are insecure with their thighs (being big that is); it's because it is one of 3 body parts on a woman that are bigger than men's. The other two of course are hips/butt and breasts. It's really nothing to be ashamed of, women naturally store body fat in their thighs and hips in order to provide added protection to a fetus. Personally I absolutely love big thighs on women, and even like it more when they are 'thunder' thighs or flabby, it's feminine.

You don't have thunder thighs...running will not make you lose weight in your thighs. If anything, running builds your legs up. You are under the impression that your thighs are big because of fat, however, truth is, your legs are just very muscular.

[Asker]

No. muscle doesn't jiggle. muscle is hard. and my legs aren't hard. they are verrrry big and jiggggley. so you my friend are wrongg.

[Xenophobia]

Well my friend, you should be more specific in your question and say that your legs are jiggly like jello then. I can't read your mind. Lose the attitude.

[Asker]

Haha aw I wasn't having an attitude. I'm sorry if it seemed that way! much love <3

It's your bone structure, trust me. I've been trying to get a slim face because I had a roundish face and I was trying to slim it down with every possible method and when I had my physical I asked the doctor and he said it was my bone structure. Want to know how to slim down thighs though? I have tons of asian friends and your best bet is Yoga and a sushi diet - MAN does that get you skinny as hell!

by thunder do you mean, fat or with some muscle.

if fat, running will help and when you loose the fat, your thighs will be left with a sexy shape.

if you mean muscly, then running won't do much...

Do any kind of squats or lunges, those helped my legs a lot.

They also toned up my butt!
