How to Lose the Fat on the Inner Thighs

Inner-thigh fat is one of the mysteries of the human body, and more often than we care to admit, an otherwise slim body can be plagued by fat between the legs. While reducing fat on target areas is impossible without the use of cosmetic surgery, there are a few ways to tighten and tone to lose the fat on your inner thighs.

Tips For You


  1. Work on full body fitness, as the only real way to lose fat is to burn more calories and eat a healthy diet, even if those last five pounds are all found on your inner thighs. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, cut saturated fats and sweets and get moving three to five times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time.
  2. Start weight training or choose exercises that target your legs and inner thighs. While strengthening and toning muscles will not help to burn fat in a specific area, overall muscle growth helps the body burn fat in general. Additionally, firm, toned legs will reduce the appearance of fat on the inner thighs.
  3. Try thermogenic creams and cellulite gels that are thought to help break up fat cells for easier elimination from the body. These products must be applied with deep massage, and while results are questionable, they certainly can help to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fat on the inner thighs.
  4. Try minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion or laser treatment, which can help to tighten the skin. While these techniques can be pricey and must be performed by certified professionals, they can help to greatly reduce the appearance of fat and cellulite on the inner thighs.
  5. Bite the bullet, and lose the fat once and for all by making a consultation appointment with a cosmetic surgeon to explore fat removal options. Make sure that you are clear on the alternatives, risks and benefits before you make a final decision.


How to Lose Thigh Fat Fast

Thighs are a difficult part of the body for women, because it is hard to lose weight in this area and keep the thighs toned. Men, too, can have thighs that are too big, too fat and not toned. Losing weight from the thighs quickly, or even slowly, can be challenging, but it’s not impossible.

Step 1:

Work out all parts of your thighs including the quadriceps, hip adductors and hamstrings. These are the three fundamental parts of your thigh. Exercising all parts will help you burn fat, lose weight as well as sculpt your thighs into a more attractive shape.

Step 2:

Do side lunges, which work out your quads. Standing, step your right foot to the right and bend your right knee. Push off of your right foot and return it to the starting position. Repeat this on the other side. Step out to the left with your left foot, bending your left knee. Now push off of your left foot and return to the original position. Do 10 lunges on each side, once a day, or more if you feel up to it.

    Step 3:

    Work out your hamstrings by doing the bow pose in yoga. Lying on your belly, on a mat, bend both of your legs at the knees. Reach back with your hands and grab your ankles. You may not be able to reach your ankles at first, or you may not be able to reach both simultaneously so just grab hold of one. With practice, you will get more flexible and will be able to reach your ankles. Once you have grabbed your ankles or ankle, pull upward using your hands, lifting the lower part of your legs and lifting your chest up and off of the ground simultaneously. This position really works the hamstrings. Hold the position for five seconds, release and return to the starting position. Try to do it four more times.

    Step 4:

    Go for a brisk walk. Walking is a great way to burn fat and tone thighs. Walk for 15 or 20 minutes, and then as you gain strength, extend your walk to an hour. Walking is an excellent muscle builder.

    Step 5:

    Jump into a pool. Swimming is an excellent way to lose fat from your thighs. When you do the front crawl, the kick comes from the hip area and both of your legs kick equally hard. When you are doing the backstroke, you kick your legs alternately. The breaststroke requires that you do either a whip kick or a wedge kick. When doing a whip kick, the legs kick in a whip-like action and your knees remain close together. If you opt to do a wedge kick, the legs kick in a deliberate circular path and are wider apart. The butterfly is a challenging stroke. Your legs move up without bending at the knees and the bottoms of your feet press vertically against the water and then backward. The knees bend and then straighten on the down beat, which is what creates propulsion.
