Managing Thunder Thighs
June 9, 2009
Thunder thigh is the term commonly used to denote women with heavy legs. Many Bollywood actresses are famous for having thunder thighs. While women try hard to reduce these fat layers, some men on the other hand find this very sexy.
Women with a pear-shaped body commonly suffer from heavy thighs. Indian women are prone to this type of body structure. The thigh region is also prone to develop cellulite which adds to the bulkiness and makes the legs look unattractive.
Managing thunder thighs is not difficult. Selecting silhouettes that are well-fitted at the waist and flowing around the thighs can work wonders. The length of the skirt should be based on the height of the woman and should rest at the narrowest part of the leg. Usually the calves are narrow so if the skirt length stops there, then the emphasis moves away from the thighs. Avoid wearing skinny jeans and Capris. Select trousers with flowing material and with straight fit. Boot-legged cuts in jeans will be a disaster.
Many women go on variety of diets to lose weight at their thighs. No diet gives weight loss for a specific section or provides spot reduction. A diet should be low in fat, rich in protein and contain medium amounts of carbohydrate. Exercising regularly helps to make the thighs thinner.
How To Achieve Thinner Thighs
1) Under the guidance of a trainer, exercises should be undertaken to achieve thinner thighs. The reason behind this is that one needs to know the correct posture and angles in which the exercises should be done. Failing to know the techniques may cause injury to the knees, lower back and spine.
2) Cardiovascular exercises are ideal to burn calories. This can be in the form of jogging, power walking and even skipping. One can use the treadmill, cross training machine, arc trainer and stair climbers. Climbing regular stairs with swiftness also provides a good loss in calories.
3) Lunges, swats and their variations with the help of dumbbells can help provide firmness to the thighs.
4) After any leg workout, stretching the quadriceps, hamstrings, muscles of the gluts and calves are a must, otherwise there is stiffness and soreness of the muscle the following day.
Women should not be conscious of their body. We all have flaws. Some are more noticeable than others. The best way is to work at it, dress appropriately to accentuate the other features of the body, and above all be confident of yourself.
