How to Get Smaller Inner Thighs Fast

To make your inner thighs smaller, you have to stop focusing on them so much. Take on a full-body approach. You have no control where fat is going to settle on your body, and you cannot choose where it to comes off. When you lose fat from your entire body, eventually your inner thighs will reduce also. To lose fat, you can incorporate strength training, cardiovascular exercise and targeted toning exercises. Combine these with a healthy diet, and you will rapidly start seeing results.

Instructions

• 1

  Avoid high-calorie junk food -- such as fried foods, cakes, cookies and pastries -- because these increase your body fat. Consume healthy foods that are high in nutrients and low in calories. Fill up on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, mixed nuts, chicken, turkey, and legumes. Use unsaturated heart-healthy fats such as olive oil or canola oil. Replace simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrates, such as oatmeal and brown rice.

• 2

  Incorporate aerobic exercise to increase your caloric burn and help reduce body fat. Focus on cardiovascular exercise that uses your legs. Walk uphill outdoors, or walk on the treadmill at an incline. Walking uphill activates your large thigh muscles and burns more calories than walking on a flat surface. Use the stairclimber or go bike riding as alternatives. Workout three times per week for 45 minutes per session.

• 3

  Include full-body strength training in your slimming routine. Strength training promotes muscle tissue and muscle takes up less space than fat, so your body, including your inner thighs, appear smaller. Train your arms, legs, shoulders, chest, abdominal muscles and back. Use weightlifting machines in the gym, free weights or your own body weight as resistance. Perform two to three strength training sessions per week.

  Take on targeted inner thigh exercises to get rid of the jiggle. Perform thigh squeezes to help tone, shape and slim your inner thighs. Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair, so your legs are bent at a 90-degree angle. Position a pillow in between your thighs. Push your thighs together and squeeze the pillow. Hold the tension for up to one minute, while breathing normally. Release the tension and repeat the exercise for three sets of 12 repetitions.

• 5

  Include inner thigh leg lifts in your routine. Lie on your right side, with your legs straight. Support your head with your right hand and place your left hand in front of you on the floor, to stabilize your body. Bend your left knee and cross it over your right leg. Flex the foot of your right leg and lift it up as high as you can. Hold for two seconds and lower the leg back down to the floor. Repeat the exercise 12 times, before switching sides.

  Add plié squats to your workout. Open your feet past shoulder-width. Point your toes outward at a 45-degree angle. Bend at the knees and lower your body straight down toward the floor. Aim to get your thighs parallel to the floor. Push through your heels to bring yourself back up to the starting position. Squeeze you buttocks and thighs at the top of the exercise. Work your way up to three sets of 12 repetitions.
