front of thighs



Recommended Posts

Hello everybody. I am getting outdoors here in Toronto Canada as the weather is improving. I went for a walk today though quite moderate. I am still on my pain meds from my recent jaw surgery but improving slightly. the front of my thighs are quite jiggly and yes cellulite - ish, Qny recommendations to reduce this troublesome spot?, hamstrings pretty nice as are calves, but top front of thighs -ughhh. Any suggestion would be helpful and most appreciated. I do like walking and if it is suggested some running. intervals? I have been out of the exercise game for a while aside for a few months of zumba over the winter.

I've started barre exercises (Lotte Berk) and its amazing for thighs! Lotte Berk does not recommend running and all her exercises are low impact. My thighs start burning as soon as we start laugh.gif

Google Lotte Berk or Barre exercises online. They can be done using a chair instead of the ballet barre and done in the privacy of your own home if you wish. I've only been going for a few weeks but already think my thighs have shrunk!

Good luck!

hey there! You can't "spot reduce" and cellulite is within the skin ..not the muscle. Your thigh is actually made up of quite a few muscles: the quadriceps are on the front and your hamstrings are on the back and they have little parts within them. It's not good to over work one muscle, it could potentially strain the other.

Some great lower body exercises that will work your thighs and booty are:

squats

lunges

using resistance bands step on one end with one foot, and secure the other end to your other foot. From there you can bring your leg straight forward, to the side, and straight back and it will work ALL of your leg muscles

With squats and lunges BE VERY CONSCIOUS ABOUT YOUR KNEES. Do NOT let your knees go past your toes as it will easily cause knee injuries. A combination of resistance training and cardio vascular training should help!

thanks for the 411. I had completely forgotten about torturous squats and lunges - i'll see if i can force myself to do them, perhaps i'll start at a very low repetition and slowly work myself up. thanks for your reply!:D

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
