What kind of exercises are best to do to help you lose weight in your thighs?
Q. I am currently trying new exercises to help me lose a little weight and was wondering if anyone knew some good exercises to help with losing weight in the thigh/stomach area? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You all so much. :)
A. jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight evenly
throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in specific
areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are your problem
areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have to work
double on them.
The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily
calorie intake (control for normal weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
Side Lunge Slide
Stand with feet hip-width apart, left foot resting on a paper plate.
Bend the right leg while sliding the left foot to the side, torso
upright and abs in. Slowly slide left foot back to starting position,
repeating 8-12 times. Switch legs and repeat for 2-3 sets.
Lunge Slide
Stand with feet hip-width apart, left foot resting on a paper plate.
Bend the right leg while sliding the left foot back into a lunge
position, keeping the right knee behind the toe, torso upright and abs
in. Slowly slide left foot back to starting position and repeat 8-12
times. Switch legs and repeat on each leg for 2-3 sets.
Front One-Legged Squat
Stand on a step or small platform. Lift left leg out in front of step
and bend the right leg, bringing the toe of the left foot to the
floor. Touch the floor lightly and keep the knee of the bent leg in
line with toes. Straighten the right leg and repeat 8-12 times. Switch
legs and repeat for 2-3 sets.
Chair Squat
Stand in front of a chair with feet hip-width apart, abs in and torso
straight. Slowly bend your knees and lower and until you're almost
touching your butt to the chair. Hold for 2-3 seconds, knees behind
the toes, and straighten. Repeat for 12-16 reps, 2-3 sets.
Heel Drops with Leg Extension
Stand on step or platform with left leg on the step, right leg hanging
off the side. Bend the left leg and lower the right foot towards the
floor (a few inches). Straighten the left leg and bring the right leg
out to the side, foot flexed, in a leg extension. Repeat 8-12 times,
switch legs for 2-3 sets.
Hip Extension
On a flat or inclined step or platform, lie facedown with hips on the
edge of the step, legs straight out behind you with toes resting
lightly on the floor. Squeeze the glutes and hamstrings and straighten
the legs until they are level with the hips. Hold for 2-3 seconds, and
lower letting toes lightly touch the floor. Repeat for 2-3 sets of
8-12 repetitions.

What is the best exercise to lose weight?
Q. I would like to lose 25-30lbs by April/May. My elpitiacal bike is broken and I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment what is the best exercise to help me lose weight?
A. Cardiovascular exercise is the best for losing weight. Walking, biking, jogging and swimming all fall into that category as does your broken machine. Power walking is often my choice and is very effective.
Resistance workouts are also calories burning and when coupled with cardio will help increase your lean muscle there by increasing your resting metabolic rate since muscle burns more calories than fat. Muscle continues to burn fat even in a resting state. This makes keeping the weight off easier and also allows you to eat more while losing weight because you are burning more calories just to maintain your muscle mass.
Hope this helps. The link below gives more information and offers suggestions on resistance exercises you can do as well.

If you want to lose weight, do you have to suck in your stomach while exercising?
Q. Like doing crunches, sit ups, any exercise that helps lose weight. I always suck in my stomach, but that makes it harder. Do I have to do it?
A. my guy friend and i both worked out together for months and followed a similar diet.
I didnt suck in my stomach..he practically lives with his sucked in. He thinks it makes it feel tighter and better.
I ended up losing about 10 pounds more..so I don't think it really helps much if any.
