How many of us can say the same thing? “I’m comfortable with how I look except for X.” I’m sure most of us could say thatright?

Unfortunately for all of uswe really can’t naturally control where we store fat on our bodies. And even more unfortunatelythere’s really no way to spot-reduce a specific body part.

Soyou’re left with the following choices:

  • Strength train all of your major muscle groups because they’ll help burn fat all over.
  • Do heart-pumping interval training to blast calories (and againshrink down all over).
  • Learn how to “wear” that body part well! Meaninglearn how to dress in a way that flatters your thighs and helps you feel more comfortable in your own skin. ThisunfortunatelyI can’t help you with. I’m a nutritionistabut I’m DEFINITELY not a fashionista. Try Jackie or Tatiana!
  • If you STILL really want to tone your thighs (note that this will not necessarily get rid of fatjust build more muscle)try wall-sitssquatslungespliesleg raisesand front/back kicks.

My recommendation is to do regular weight-bearing and cardio interval workouts so you feel fab and maybe lose some weight overall. But above allkeep in mind that how you look is probably at least 75% diet and genetics. So you should also work on eating clean and loving that bod for what it does for you!
