Most women think that in order to tone their thighs, they need to do a lot of aerobic exercise.  While aerobic exercise is great for lowering overall body fat levels, when performed as the only form of exercise, cardio is relatively ineffective for slimming thighs and firming buns.

If you want to turbo charge you progress towards a firmer sexier lower body, then you absolutely must perform regular strength training workouts that are based around free weight exercises.

Here are a few of the most effective free weight based thin thighs exercises…

  • Thigh Squats
  • DB Lunges
  • Barbell Lunges
  • DB Step ups
  • Leg Press
  • Leg Extension
  • Leg Curls
  • Dead Lift
  • St. Leg Deadlift

Most women think that their legs will balloon up to pro bodybuilder proportions if they incorporate weight training into their fitness mix.  This simply is not true!  What I find happens to most of my clients when I introduce them to free weight based thin thighs exercises, is that their thighs almost immediately begin to tone up and slim down ( within 1 -2 weeks).

While their thighs definitely become more muscular and athletic looking, they don’t become big and bulky like most women think they will.  In fact, after a few weeks of weight training the body fat begins to melt away, leaving a slimmer and firmer body everywhere – from the back of their arms to their thighs!
