Get Plenty of Cardiovascular Exercise
Some people believe that you can simply only work out your thighs and you will lose weight from them. This is absolutely not true. To burn fat from anywhere on your body you need to get cardiovascular exercise to burn calories. You can't tell your body where to burn the fat from, but when you regularly workout in your fat burning zone your body will burn the fat from all over your body, including the inner thigh fat.
Be sure that you are getting cardiovascular exercise at least 5 times a week for 30-60 minutes. If you are not seeing your inner thigh fat go down, you should increase your exercise time and be sure that your heart rate is constantly in that fat burning zone. Some cardiovascular exercises you may consider are running, bicycling, aerobics, kickboxing, swimming, and dancing.
Incorporate Resistance Training into Your Routine for Toned Thighs
Even though you aren't able to spot train and tell your body where to lose fat from, you can still build your muscles and make them toned. When you add resistance training into your workout routine you are sculpting your muscles, which can make them appear slimmer and firmer. Once you have started a regular routine of cardiovascular workouts and resistance training, you will find that the cardio workouts will burn the fat and the resistance training will leave your inner thighs toned and looking pretty sexy. You are basically preparing and sculpting your inner thigh muscles for when you burn the fat off your body.
There are several different resistance training exercises that you can do to get toned inner thighs. Here are some exercises that need to be added to your workout routine if you want toned inner thighs:
Plie Squats - Variation of a regular squat except that the feet are spread farther apart and the toes point outwards, which makes the exercise concentrated on the inner thighs.
Stability Ball Thigh Squeeze - Place a stability ball or medicine ball in between your thighs and squeeze the ball with your thighs.
Inner Thigh Lift - Lay on your side with your top leg bent at the knee and foot on the floor over the bottom. Bottom leg should be completely straight as you life the leg off the ground a few inches.
Scissor Kicks - Lay flat on your back and lift your legs off the ground. Keep the legs completely straight and only a foot off the ground as your make scissor motions with your legs, alternating them going in and out.
Pulsating Lunges - A basic alternating lunge but instead of simply going down and coming back up, pulsate 5 quick times at the bottom of the lunge, really working into the inner thigh area.
If you want to make the above inner thigh exercises harder, simply add weight to the exercises. For the inner thigh lift you can also use a resistance band on the legs. Be sure to do resistance training for the inner thighs at least 2-3 times a week along with the cardio workouts.
If you are sure to incorporate these resistance training exercises for the inner thighs and the cardiovascular workouts in your life you can be saying "goodbye" to the chub rub and inner thigh fat and saying "hello" to sexy and toned thighs.
