As you probably already know everyone’s body stores fat differently and if your thighs are your problem areas, there is a large variety of different exercises that can be utilized to lose fat and gain muscle. Everyone wants sexy legs for the summer, men and women and now is the time to begin your new workout routine for fast results.

When it comes to losing thigh fat you need to understand that there are three different muscle groups to focus on in order to see results; the quadriceps, hamstrings and hip abductors. Focussing on only one of these alone is not enough to see results. We have outlined the exercises below that fall under each different muscle group so you know exactly how to use them and when. You want to make sure that you are working out at least 4 times a week for best results, but always having a day of rest in between for your muscles to recover.

Quadriceps

The walking lunge is great for these muscles. You simply begin in the lunge position and carry it out in a straight line as if you were walking. This can be more work than you think and you should accomplish at least 10 lunges throughout the process.

Step-up is a simple exercise that promotes a great deal of thigh strength. You use an exercise box or bench and step up with your left foot and then rotate and repeat.

Hamstrings

Lying leg curls are one of the most effective for this muscle group. You simply lay face down on a bench with a cable cord attached to your legs to pull the weight up as you bring your legs in towards your buttocks. Slowly lower them back down and repeat in sets of 10-12 repetitions to begin.

The standing leg curl uses the cables again. Here you are standing with your feet hip width apart and you take your left foot and curl it up towards your buttocks, repeat with right leg as well.

Hip Abductors

Leg raises are best for this part of your thigh. You lay with your back flat on the ground and raise your legs high, lower them slowly back down but not so they are touching the floor, so they are about 1inch above the floor and repeat 10 times for best results.
