getting rid of just an area of fat...

is that difficult?

i dont want to lose loads of weight, i want to slim down my thighs. is the only option to go for weight loss all over, or is it possible to spot reduce areas you want to work on?

As it has been said many many MANY times before: you cannot spot reduce fat.

You can tone your stomach if you do 100000 situps a day, so do the same number of squats a day and you will have lost fat in 1 week :smile:

But what good is 'toning' if you're still effectively fat over the top?

I'm being totally sarcastic, you have the right answer, you can't spot reduce fat :smile:

All you need is a small blade, a straw, and a vacuum cleaner. Job done.

lol, qft

but on topic - the above posters are right you cannot reduce spot fat effectively. If you do have fat all over, then a good workout regime will see you lose it in a natural way.

To slim down your thighs you will need to lose fat but this will come off from all areas of your body. This means a good diet and regular cardiovascular exercise.

In order to make the thigh area look better do some squats and lunges. These will make your leg muscles look more defined.

The good news is that legs respond really well to exercise so you will definitely see an improvemnt fairly quickly.
