LAST UPDATED: June  23rd, 2022

Thigh fat is one of the most common types of fat in women.

It is annoying, unhealthy, and it doesn’t look good. (1)

I have many female clients that come to the gym to solve this problem.

So, let’s see how to get rid of thigh fat.

But, first things first.

What are the main causes of thigh fat?

The most common causes of thigh fat are genetics and hormone imbalance.

Genetics

There are some genes that cause hormones and enzymes in your body to direct every extra calorie to your thighs.

Terrible, I know.

Hormone imbalance

The most important hormone related to thig fat is estrogen

If you have higher levels of estrogen, your body will store extra fat on your thighs.

And hips, too.

So, let’s see how to burn fat layers on your thighs.

You should try workouts that will speed up your metabolism and increase fat-burning.

Do exercises that target thigh fat.

Best Exercises to Get Rid of Thigh Fat

1. Running and jogging

Running or jogging, no1 cardio workout.

An old-school physical activity.

Running is one of the basic cardio exercises and since you don’t need any special equipment you can do it almost anywhere.

3. Squats

How to reduce thigh fat at home?

Do squats.

A superior exercise when it comes to burning thigh fat.

It includes the anterior, medial, and posterior muscles of the thigh and the butt.

It activates almost every muscle in the legs.

Make sure you squat right: legs shoulder-width apart, feet point outward.

How do I squat?

I start with stretching and warming up, then I do a few squats without a barbell.

After that I usually do 5 sets with 8 reps, slowly lifting weights until the last set when I work out with 50% of the maximum weight I can lift.

There are many variations of the squats that I will write about later, but in my opinion, the classic squat is the best.

4. Split squats

One of the best workouts to get a toned body for women.

You should hold the dumbbells in both hands and step forward.

Take as long step forwards as you want to and then push back.

Beginners should do the exercise without any weight, and after a while, they can add some weight.

You can use a barbell or dumbbell, which one you prefer.

As you progress you can increase the weight you are working out with.

5. Plank

Plank is one of the most effective fat-burning exercises.

Also, one of the best exercises to lose thigh fat.

Plank for about 30 secs.

When you get in better shape increase to 60 secs.

There are different variations you can try.

6. Yoga

The best yoga position to get rid of thigh fat is the bridge pose.
