Help! My thighs.
 
i have been working out steadily for the last few months now, and even though i see great decrease in my size, my thighs don't seem to be coming along as well. So does anyone have some good thigh excercises that have worked for them that they can share?? My thunder thighs thanks you!

Even though it's titled butt exercises, those exercises will work your inner and outter thighs as well...essentially the lower portion of your body

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can't spot-reduce. In other words, exercises concentrated on your thighs aren't going to make your thighs smaller, just like doing crunches isn't going to make your stomach fat go away. If your thighs are big because they're muscular, you might want to lay off the thigh-intensive exercises. If your thighs are big because there's fat there still, then you're going to have to focus on weight loss, exercise and wait for your body.

Everyone's body is individual--and your body knows where it likes to store fat the most. If that's your thighs, they may be the VERY LAST place your body takes fat from during your weight loss. It's unfortunate that we can't MAKE our bodies take fat off of certain places...because if we could, we would ALL look like Angelina Jolie.

First if i ever got to be a stick like Angelina my husband would force me into a hospital. Yes I agree about how the body loses weight. I lose it all over so nothing shows real fast others lose it in certain places first and then other places later.

Shy--I am, of course, talking about Tomb Raider-style Angie and not her in her current state. She has been VERY thin in all the latest magazine shots of her. I see nothing sickly about here here:

To me, she represents the buff, strong female who is also sexy in movies...so I love her :D
