Ways to lose that stubborn thigh fat easily!

Let's get this straight, there is nothing that you can do to spot reduce fat anywhere from your body. Weight loss is an overall process.

Especially, when we talk about thigh fat, we can safely say that there is no other fat more stubborn than this. Losing thigh fat can be quite a challenge and to make that challenge easy, here’s a 9-step guide that will target your thigh fat and help you lose overall body weight.

2/11

Watch your salt intake

Excess salt intake makes your body retain water, which causes bloating. Water follows salt, so the more salt you eat, the more water gets stored in your body. You can cut back by limiting processed foods, like sauces, canned juices, veggies and soups. All these foods are often loaded with sodium.

​Add more electrolyte in your diet

The more electrolytes you have in your body, the less salt your body will retain. Electrolytes like calcium, magnesium and potassium can be easily obtained from a healthy diet. Proper electrolyte intake helps in keeping the body fluid balance stable. Green leafy veggies, yoghurt and bananas are some excellent sources of various types of electrolytes.

Start your morning with a cup of coffee

Coffee is proven to boost your metabolism, which increases your fat burning ability and workout capacity. However, do in keep in mind that too much coffee can lead to overeating later and give your jitters. So, do not go overboard.

Coffee is proven to boost your metabolism, which increases your fat burning ability and workout capacity. However, do keep in mind that too much coffee can lead to overeating later and give your jitters. So, do not go overboard.

​Always carry a water bottle with you

Drinking enough water flushes out the extra salt and fluids from your body. Proper water intake also ensures that you do not overeat, since dehydration sometimes mimics hunger.

7/11

​Do some cardio

Doing cardio gets your heart rate up and is one of the best ways to burn fat – including thigh and hip fat. The more calories you burn, the bigger calorie deficit you can create, which can make it easy for you to reduce overall fat.

8/11

​Strengthen your thighs

While you cannot spot reduce thigh fat, you can definitely spot train your muscles to make them strong and toned. You can target your thighs by doing crusty lunges, sumo squats and goblet squats. Hit your hamstrings with deadlift, bridges, reverse leg curls and hamstring curls.

9/11

​Switch between squats and lunges

Switching moves is very important because different exercises can challenge your muscle groups in different ways and make them stronger.

10/11

Do not forget the HIIT exercises

To lose fat even faster, you can combine strength training and weight lifting with HIIT (high-intensity interval training). Doing HIIT helps to increase energy burned at rest.

Sustainable weight loss is always a combination of a healthy diet and regular workout.
