How to Lose Fat from Thighs and Hips
In order to lose weight from your hips and thighs, you will need to attack the problem on two fronts: exercise and diet. Dedication is necessary as it is best to work out about five days per week and to follow your diet plan every day.
1.The most basic of exercises – walking – targets, among other areas, the hips and thighs. For the skeptics, put your hands on your hips and take a few steps – with each stride, you will be able to feel the muscles contracting. While walking at an average pace, the average person burns roughly four calories per minute, just about all of which comes from the lower body and midsection. For a faster working exercise, jogging and running use all the same muscles that are used while walking. However, keep in mind that running puts major stress on the knees.
2.There are exercises that provide similar benefits to those attained while running, but which avoid the pressure on the joints; biking, both on regular bikes and stationary bikes, as well as elliptical machines are two such means. If you have access to a pool or beach, swimming is a great full body workout that is a very popular rehab activity because of the low stress it puts on the body while still providing a great workout. Swimming uses every muscle in the body, aiding both fat loss and muscle toning.
3.An exercise you can do in your own home, squats are effective and easy to do. They work the hips, thighs, and calves. To perform a squat, start at a standing position and bend your body at the waist and knees until you are almost sitting on your ankles, then lift yourself back into a standing position. For more effective squats, hold weights at your shoulders while performing your repetitions. The more weight that you use, the more muscle you will gain; however, to focus on muscle toning, use less weight so that you are able to perform more repetitions.
4.Another exercise that can be done at home, requires no equipment, and works the hips and thighs is called a wall slide. To perform a wall slide, stand up straight with your back against a flat wall. Slide your back down the wall as you walk your feet outward until you are bent to your desired levels at your waist and knees. To focus on muscle building, bend yourself into a sitting position. To focus on muscle toning, bend only about halfway to a sitting position.
5.The way you eat is the other key to eliminating fat be it from hips, thighs, or any other fatty areas of the body. While there have been many gimmick diets popping up recently, the science behind weight loss has not changed. Removing all of the carbohydrates from your diet, for example, is counterproductive – carbohydrates are the main source of the body’s energy. Start your morning off with a bowl of cereal – Cheerios and Special K among others are healthy cereals that come in a variety of flavors. For added flavor and health benefits, chop up a banana or strawberry and throw it into your cereal. Avoid fast food during the lunch hour. Drink water rather than soda – you can shift the calories and sugars to something that is more of a treat. Peel the fat off of meat before cooking it.
6.Most importantly, eat in moderation. You can still have the occasional treat if you do so responsibly. Edy’s Ice Cream, for example, has a slow churned selection of flavors that contain half the fat and one third less calories than regular ice cream while still retaining its taste. Dark chocolate has been found to be more than just a sweet snack – it can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Once again, moderation is the most important factor; you can still eat you favorite snacks as long as you stick to the serving size and have them only once every few days. By eating in moderation, you can eat right while still enjoying food.
