Hip Butt And Thigh Workouts Are Great!
When it comes to slimming your thighs and firming up your lower body, there aren’t too many thing more important than incorporating the right hip, but and thigh workouts into your daily life. While you absolutely can slim down and lose weight without working out, there are a few reasons why I wholeheartedly recommend that you perform some type of hip butt and thigh workouts on a regular basis.
Not only do the muscles of your lower body gain strength and muscle tone when you perform exercises that target them, but you also rev up your metabolism in a few different ways…

1.) When you perform free weight based hip and thigh workouts on a regular basis you will begin to gain some muscle mass. Don’t worry, I’m not talking about bulky ugly muscle that can make your thighs appear fatter than they actually are! No, I’m talking about a very small amount of muscle mass that will burn more calories at rest than body fat otherwise would.
When ever you start to gain muscle mass, it has a profound effect on your entire body. Everything that happens to your body has an effect on all of your bodily systems. When your body begins to burn more calories at rest than it previously did, you will begin to create a naturally occurring calorie deficit. This will lead to fat loss. So, the short of it is that the more muscle your body carries, the less fat it will be able to carry.
2.) Free weight workouts – especially lower body free weight workouts, require your body to expend (burn) a lot of calories just to get you through the workout. The muscles of your lower body are the biggest muscles in your body, because of this they burn more calories than the smaller muscles found in your upper body. This will contribute quite a bit to the calorie deficit that starts to occur naturally when your body builds muscle.
When it comes to shedding fat and slimming your hips, thighs and butt, body fat reduction is the name of the game. By learning how to make intelligent choices about what you eat and incorporating regular hip, butt and thigh workouts into your fitness mix, you absolutely can achieve a firmer,sexier lower body relatively quickly!

Get Great Thighs By Eating Right!
If you want to have great thighs, firm buns and a sexy lower body, then you need to learn how to make the right choices when it comes to food. In the last post I talked a bit about the thermic effect of food. Today, I want to touch on the subject a bit more and list a few things that can decrease the natural fat burning effect of foods and a few that can make the thermic effect of food more powerful.
As discussed in the last post, the thermic effect of food is basically just a fancy way of saying that your body will burn calories breaking down a dn digesting different foods. If you take the time to learn how to use this extra fat burning effect to your advantage, then you will be closer to your goal of having great thighs and a firm lower body, without having to do any real work.
One of the foods that can have a potent fat burning effect is plain old dietary fiber. Fiber slows down digestion, reduces insulin spikes and help to regulate blood sugar. High fiber foods have been proven to require more calories to digest than most other foods. The combining effect of slower digestion and the requirement for your body to burn more calories to break fiber down, means that when you eat fiber, your body will absorb fewer calories than it would fro most other food sources.
Here’s an example…
If you eat the recommended 24 grams of fiber per day ( the average consumption of fiber for women is somewhere around 12 grams) then the net effect is that you will actually absorb 90 fewer calories per day than you otherwise would! I know that a measly 90 calories per day is small potatoes as far as calorie restriction for fat loss, but every little bit counts. Adding fiber to your diet is an easy step that can help you get slim thighs and a sexy lower body.
If you focused on making a few small changes to your diet each day, these little 90 calorie deficits can add up to some serious fat loss over the course of a year. To illustrate my point…In order to lose 1 lb of body fat you must create an energy deficit of 3500 kcals. If you added 24 grams of fiber to your diet each day in place of other sources of nutrients, you would easily and painlessly create a calorie deficit of…
- 630 calories per week!
- 2520 calories per month!
- 30240 calories per year!
Fiber is such an amazing weight loss aid, that (even though they don’t publicize it) mass quantities of fiber are a staple of The Biggest Loser diet that allows obese men and women to lose 50 -100 lbs. Overall, the minor addition of fiber to your diet could lead to a yearly weight loss of 8.64 lbs! This is definitely an easy way to get great thighs and firm buns easily.

Reduce Thighs With Fat Burning Foods!
If you want to reduce thighs, slim your hips and firm your buns, then you need to learn about the thermic effect of food. While nearly everyone understands the importance of eating a healthy well balanced diet in order to lose fat and slim their thighs, most people never fully understand the importance of eating whole food nutrients throughout the day.
When it comes to slimming down, it’s important to understand the the thermic effect of food and how you can use it to reduce the size of your thighs effortlessly! The thermic effect of food is simply a term used to describe the amount of energy your body expends breaking down and digesting food. Once you begin to understand the effect that frequent whole food feedings can have on your body, you will see how easy it can be to shed a few unwanted pounds by making a few small changes to your current eating habits.

The thermic effect of food is different for everybody, and is influenced by…
- Your body composition
- The amount of food you eat
- The frequency with which you eat food
Not only is the thermic effect of food different for everybody, but it is also different for each nutrient class…
- For protein, 10 – 30 kcals out of every 100 kcals are burned during the digestion process.
- For carbohydrates, 5 – 10 kcals out of every 100 kcals are burned during digestion.
- For fat, only 0 – 3 kcals out of every 100 kcals are burned during the digestion process.
As you can probably see, protein has the highest thermic effect of all the different nutrient classes. This is one of the reasons that increased protein consumptions typically leads to reduce thighs and overall weight loss. As general rule of thumb, if you want to shed fat and slim your hips and thighs, then it may be a good idea to consume more whole food protein sources throughout the day. High protein, low fat snacks like reduced dairy products make an excellent post workout or mid day snack while taking full advantage of the thermic effect of whole food protein sources.

Female Hormones And Thin Legs
If you want to get thin legs and sexy firm buns that make people take notice, then it may help to learn a bit about the hormone estrogen. Along with progesterone, testosterone and thyroxine, estrogen is one of the hormones that has a major effect on the way that fat is metabolized and stored in women’s bodies.
During a woman’s life, there are two critical times when estrogen drives fat storage: puberty and pregnancy. Estrogen tends to cause fat stores to accumulate in your breasts, hips, thighs and buns. There is also some talk that estrogen may be responsible for the droopy fat stores you find on the back of women’s arms.

How Does Estrogen Keep Me From Getting Thin Legs?
Estrogen makes females more sensitive to insulin, especially during the post-ovulatory time period. And it causes you to experience cravings for sweets when your blood sugar is low especially during the pre-menstrual period. These two estrogen related interactions make it difficult to stay the course and slim your thighs. You wind up craving sweets all of the time and consequently have a hard time sticking with your nutrition plan. More often than not, this is a huge contributing factor as to why many women find it difficult to stay on a diet for an extended period of time – even if they know the outcome will be sexy thin legs and shapley firm buns.
High estrogen levels also have been associated with fluid retention. If you’ve ever experienced that “puffy” feeling where almost overnight your body smooths out and you wonder how it could be possible to pack on weight and gain fat overnight, then you know what I’m taking about. With female bodies, a lot of time water and fluid retention plays a huge role in how cut or defined your muscles are.
Estrogen levels also play a role in helping you to control your appetite. If you have normal levels of estrogen in your body, then it’s a fact that your body is utilizing leptin (an appetite regulating hormone) more efficiently. When everything is in check, you don’t get huge energy swings and cravings all of the time, this makes it easier for you to stick with your fitness program and diet and ultimately get thin legs and firm buns. When your body is utilizing leptin efficiently, not only is your appetite held in check, but your body also burns more calories at rest, allowing you to eat a bit more, or simply bun more fat.

Eat More To Get Thin Thighs!
If you’re looking to get thin thighs but you haven’t been able to find success with your fat loss diet, you may need to consider eating a bit more calories. While I know that that sounds like a complete contradiction, it’s really not…let me explain. When you go on a starvation diet and restrict your calorie intake to extreme amounts, your body begins to fight back by storing all excess food as fat.
Now don’t get me wrong, if you want to get sexy thin thighs, then you will need to watch what you eat, just don’t go overboard with it. When you decide to not eat much, your metabolic rate ( rate that your body burns calories at rest) begins to lower by an average of 15%! This means that when you eat too few calories, your body fights back and begins to pack on body fat at an alarming rate. Studies have also consistently shown that whenever there is a severe decrease in calorie intake there is a corresponding increase in the amount of fat storage on your body.

To put it in simple terms…If you eat too few calories your body will store an excess of body fat. This compounding effect of a slower metabolic rate coupled with a higher propensity to store excess body fat makes it nearly impossible to get thin thighs and firm buns, regardless of your fitness routine.
In my opinion, this is a major reason why so many women have such a hard time whipping their lower body into shape. They go on a diet that requires them to restrict their calories to a crazy level and they hit the gym 5 -6 days a week trying to create an insane calorie deficit, hoping that it will help them lose weight and firm their buns and thighs. While most of these women do tend to lose weight, they actually increase their body fat levels, actually making their thin thighs more flabby and soft in the process.
Coupled with the fact that not eating is just not a healthy (or fun) way to live, is the fact that at some pint your starvation diet will come to an abrupt end when you walk past the wrong box of donuts at the wrong time – you know what I’m talking about! It is impossible to starve yourself day in and day out without eventually going off the deep end and gorging yourself with some type of sugary junk food.

The Most Effective Thigh Exercises
Thigh exercises are a great way to target your lower body while still ensuring that you get a challenging workout in. When it comes to slimming your thighs, the name of the game is body fat reduction. In order to reduce your body fat levels and effectively slim your thighs, you need to make sure that you are performing thigh exercises that not only target your lower body, but also help you burn calories and melt fat. While there are a few options that can help you accomplish this goal quickly, your best bet may be to combine thigh exercises with aerobic training for a high intensity high energy workout that’s all but guaranteed to slim your thighs!
Two of the most effective forms of fat burning, thigh slimming exercise are…
- Free weight exercises that incorporate multiple muscle groups
- High intensity aerobics that require you to move your body through space
Each of these styles of thigh slimming exercise requires your body to burn a large amount of calories in a relatively short period of time. When combined with a moderately calorie restricted nutritious balanced diet, the effects of theses thigh exercises alone are immediate and dramatic. By simply incorporating one of these styles of thigh slimming exercise into your everyday life, you will begin to see a difference in the shape of your hips, thighs and buns.
The Power of Combining High Intensity Thigh Exercises
If you really want to turbocharge the progress your making on your lower body workouts, you need to learn how to harness the power of combining multiple thigh exercises with cardiovascular training. This style of lower body training is also know as high intensity interval training.
When you incorporate this style of intense thigh training, your body will burn more calories that either steady state aerobic exercise or free weight workouts alone. Exactly how many more calories your body will burn depends to a large extent on the exact intensity level of your workout, but studies have suggested that your body will burn on average 900% more body fat than traditional thigh slimming workouts alone!
Example High Intensity Interval Thigh Workout
Always begin your lower body workouts with a full body warm up that gets blood pumping through all of the muscles of your body. I suggest a short low intensity 5 minute jog followed by a full body flexibility routine. After you complete your warm-up, it’s time to get on with the thigh exercises.
This interval training workout should be performed without any rest at all between sets. Once you begin, keep working at it until you are finished, then you can rest!
- Start with a 2 minute interval on the treadmill – Jog At a Medium Pace
- Immediately following your 2 minute treadmill interval hop off and perform 15 wall squats.
- Immediately jump back on the treadmill for another 2 minute interval – this time at a brisk pace
- Jump off the treadmill and perform 10 – 15 dumbbell lunges with each leg
- Back to the treadmill for another 2 minute interval
- Jump off the treadmill and perform 15 dumbbell step-ups with each leg
- Hop on the treadmill for another 2 minute interval
If you’ve been training for over a year now and you are in good condition, you may need more of a challenge than this. If this describes you, simply add in 2 sets of each exercise combined with cardio intervals in between!
These basic thigh exercises become even more effective for burning fat ans slimming your thighs when you combine them with intense aerobic intervals. If you’ve been training for awhile now, but your not happy with your progress in the gym, try to add in a few of these high intensity lower body interval workouts to your routine, I guarantee you’ll beg into burn fat faster than you ever thought possible!

Thin Thigh Nutrition Tips
If you’re looking to get thin thighs, then you need to be on top of your game when it comes to eating for fat loss. While the thin thigh game is partly about selecting the right lower body exercises and performing them on a regular basis, 80 – 90% of your fat loss success (or lack there of) will be determined by your slim thigh nutrition plan.
If you want firm buns and thin thighs, it’s critical that you get your diet lined out in order to burn fat and build muscle mass. Focus on eating a wide variety of nutritious foods from all of the major food groups, as well as a variety of fruits and vegetables. Each of your meals should consist of…
- Carbohydrates
- Protein
- Fat
- As well as some fruits and vegetables.
Focus on eating 5 – 6 smaller meals spread out every 2 – 3 hours throughout the day. This will help you to rev up your metabolism and get the muscle building – fat burning process kick started. Without a doubt, the quickest way to firm any part of your body without having to resort to extreme fad dieting techniques is to focus on building a bit of muscle mass, especially in your lower body area. In order to make this happen, you must make sure to eat enough lean protein to fuel the muscle growth process.

Now keep in mind that we’re not talking about packing on 10 lbs of muscle mass, just a bit. If you can convert even 1/2 a pound of fat on your body to muscle, you will notice an immediate difference in the way your body looks and feels.The more muscle mass you carry, the more calories your body will burn naturally at rest. This allows you a bit of extra latitude for your diet. You will be able to eat a bit more without packing on any body fat!
And no don’t worry, you’re not going to get big and bulky and increase the size of your lower body at all! As you ad some muscle mass to your body, you’ll actually begin to thin out and get leaner all over your body. You’ll simply be shedding body fat and replacing it with sexy firm muscle mass. This is what will lead to slim sexy thighs and firm buns – not some sort of starvation diet.
Here’s an example of a well balanced thin thigh meal:
- 1 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 1 Cup of Brown Rice
- 1 Cup of Steamed Broccoli
Make your thin thigh nutrition plan an important part of your day to day life. After only a few weeks on implimenting these tips, you should begin to notice a big difference in the way your butt, hips and thigs look and feel!
