If you are trying to lose weight and improve your fitness, you are likely to have problem areas that you need to target. For many women, their thighs are their biggest problem area, as many women store fat in this way. To improve their wellness and wellbeing, they need to look at specific exercises that target their thighs, as often generalised exercise will help you to lose weight all over but will not shift specific patches of weight such as this.
On top of this, summer fashions often highlight the thigh area, with bikinis, swimsuits and shorts all being the must-have fashion items for women on the beach. Even in winter, many women want to wear skinny jeans and boots, and this cut of jeans highlights any areas of excess fat, such as the thighs.
Fortunately, there are lots of great moves that you can try which specifically target the thigh muscles and help to burn fat in this area. One such move is a wide-stance squat.
You have probably done squats before, but this is a little different as you start with your feet wider than your shoulders, and you point your toes slightly outwards (as if they are pointing to 10 and 2 o’clock. You then slowly lower your body down while counting to two, into a squat position. Hold the squat for a beat and then stand up slowly. Repeat this 25 – 30 times each time you do the exercise.
Another exercise that you can try is almost the exact opposite. In this one, you start with your heels touching and your toes slightly turned out. Whilst keeping your heels together, you need to rise up onto your toes. If your balance is not great and you feel wobbly then you can hold onto a wall, but make sure you are supporting yourself on your toes not on your hand.
