Help! I want thin thighs

Could someone please tell me how to get thin thighs.I am 35yr old female 5'5"
and have a treadmill, hex weights,smith machine,incline decline bench balance balls. I want to lose about 2 to 3 inches off my thighs. If any one has a program schedule I could follow I would truly appreciate it.
 
Eat right, workout hard, rest harder!

Eat 6 small meals per day (healthy ones). Find out how many calories you should eat by determining how much you weigh and if you would like to lose weight. Calorie calcs can be found all over the web... Start here:


Workout the big muscle groups in your body 3 times per week. Break it into groups like this: day 1 - pull muscles (lats, biceps, and lower back); day 2 - legs (quads, hams, and calves); day 3 - push muscles (chest, triceps, and abs).

Walk/run on your treadmill for 40 minutes at your target (80% of max) HR 3 times per week. Do this on days when you aren't working out. Warm-up and warm-down properly. And, stretch afterwards!!!

Get plenty of rest by sleeping 8 plus hours and don't do any workouts once per week.

Example week:
Monday - Pull muscles
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Run
Friday - Push muscles
Saturday - Run
Sunday - REST!!! (imperative)

If you eat well in small increments, workout regularly, and get proper rest, I guarantee you will notice results within 3 weeks! And, within 6 weeks you will be FLABBERgasted. By 12 weeks, you won't even recognize your new toned thighs!

BTW - After 12 weeks, take a week off of working out before repeating this routine!

Eating right is key - if you want to lower your body fat in any area, you have to have a clean diet. Remember, spot reducing isn't possible - so you're going to have to work hard to lower your overrall body fat.
 
the only thing I will add is that it would be better to run a length of 60min instead of 40. but starting off slow and working your way up is needed if your not that athletic.
 
Yes, you got to eat right. Consume food that will increase your metabolism and take them in 6 small meals a day.

Next, you got to work your lower body. Some exercises I recommend are: 1. One-leg hip extensions. 2. Double knee ups. 3. 90 degree glute lifts. 4. Slow side shuffle. 5. Step downs. 6. Chair high hip risers. 7. Inner thigh isolators. 8. B/F touch downs.

Good luck! :)

Wow, sounds like you have a lot of equipment. I do plyometrics and a lot of bodyweight exercises. I would say I have thin thighs. Also a lot of it depends on your diet. Cut out processed foods and refined sugar. Drink a lot of water, that will flush the toxins out of your thighs. Fat that is visible through the skin is toxins in your body. Do a good herbal cleanse once a month.
 
I would suggest high intensity resistance training. This will help build muscle and keep your metabolism elevated for a longer period of time after working out.
 
You can't spot reduce. If you want thinner thighs, you have to lose weight in general. If you don't lose weight and only do leg exercises, then you'll just tone your legs, not actually make them thinner.
 
Considering the original post is 5 years old, she either learned how to get thin thighs or she gave up.

I don't know why new members feel compelled to dig up old threads...
 
I didn't look at the date of the original post. I just replied cos there was a recent post in it. Hope she's happy with her thighs by now haha
 
No worries, bunny, it happens all the time :)
