Exercise alone will not produce toned and firm thighs.
In addition to performing specific thigh toning
exercises, losing overall body fat is important when
trying to tighten and tone thighs. The best way to
reduce overall body fat is to eat healthy and include
both intense cardio and strength training exercises in a
workout regimen. Check out this week's article on Top

Cycling; is
also one of the best fat loss workouts that is fun to do
and burns a whole lot of calories at the same time. Also
if you are cycling outdoors, the fresh air will do you
good and if you are cycling at home it is the right time
to watch that program you have been putting off. This
will keep you occupied while your body works out. |

Rise High
In his book, "A View from the Zoo", Gary Richmond describes how a newborn
giraffe learns its first lesson.
The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she
positions herself directly over her calf. She waits for about a minute, and then
she does the most unreasonable thing. She swings her long, pendulous leg outward
and kicks her baby, so that it is sent sprawling head over heels. When it
doesn't get up, the violent process is repeated over and over again. The
struggle to rise is momentous. As the baby calf grows tired, the mother kicks it
again to stimulate its efforts. Finally, the calf stands for the first time on
its wobbly legs.
Then the mother giraffe does the most remarkable thing. She kicks it off its
feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up. In the wild, baby
giraffes must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with the herd,
where there is safety. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild hunting dogs all enjoy
young giraffes, and they'd get it too, if the mother didn't teach her calf to
get up quickly and get with it.
The late Irving Stone understood this. He spent a lifetime studying greatness,
writing novelized biographies of such men as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh,
Sigmund Freud, and Charles Darwin.
Its time for you to rise over all odds, inspite of being knocked down and
vilified, for years. Stand up inspite of being knocked down. In the end you will
reach your goal.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious
triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take
rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor
suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that
knows not victory nor defeat."

Top 10 Thigh Trimmers
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.
Although spot reduction isn't possible, combining
specific thigh toning exercises with a healthy diet can
help women lose fat from both the inner and outer
thighs.
A fitness program composed of these thigh trimmers can
help you possess elongated thigh. Read on:-
1. THE OUTER THIGH BLASTER:- If practiced
regularly, this exercise will really firm up the
outsides of the hips and thighs and strengthen the lower
body. Stand by facing the wall with your hands at chest
level and flat against the wall. Keeping your spine
neutral, take on leg positioned at knee level out to the
side. Exhale as your leg travel away from your body,
inhale as you bring it back. Repeat 10 times with each
leg.
