The real
problem about losing weight from a specific area, like
hips/thighs/butt, is that we tend to blow hot and cold
over the 'problem area' and don't stick with our plan
long enough to sort it out. We panic or try and starve
ourselves and we end up even fatter than before. This
week we focus on
Losing
inches off your thighs.

Consistency is very important for
an exercise routine to have the desired effect on our body. Getting started is
the easy part, it is sticking to a regular exercise routine that is difficult
and this is what makes most people give up in between. Most people get on to a
beautiful start. They buy track suits and gym-wear, running shoes and a whole
lot of other gear. Their first day at the gym is almost a celebration. Then as
the days go on, they find it increasingly difficult to meet the domestic and
professional demands and so their routine slows down and finally comes to a
complete workout burn out. In other words, the stop working out completely.

Practice
Whatever you practice, you will become skilled at
doing. Winning athletes practice day after day, month after month, to hone their
skills. So do the best musicians, actors, salespeople, airline pilots,
preachers, photographers, designers -- the list goes on and on.
What do you practice every day? Do you practice positive, success-oriented
skills and actions? Or do you practice such skills as making excuses, getting
angry, complaining, assigning blame, and procrastinating.
Remember, the more you practice, the more skilled you become. Every moment, you
increase your experience in some area. The more you practice anything, the more
it becomes a part of you. So be aware of what you practice each day, each
moment. Make sure that what you practice, is what you want to become.

Losing inches off your thighs
Let's face it-nobody wants to be pear-shaped, that
bulge over the hips and the "Jodhpur thighs" are not exactly appealing.
Unfortunately for women this is exactly where fat is most likely to accumulate,
often with the "Orange-Peel" effect of cellulite.
-
This needs to be attacked on two fronts, the first
being diet and the second being exercises that lengthen and strengthen. When you
perform these leg stretches, you should feel it pulled out to its full extent,
all the way from the hip socket to the pointed toes.
Try to incorporate the following tips to lose fat
off your thighs:
-
If you want to get stronger without gaining much
muscle mass, then use a range between 1 to 3 reps where you reach muscular
failure in that range. Alternatively, if you use a rep range of 15 or more reps
per set, you will build muscular endurance and very little muscle mass.
Exercises such as squats, lunges, leg curls, stiff-legged deadlifts, leg
extensions, and calf raises are all excellent for toning your legs.
