Thinner Thighs????

[GingerL]

I am a 50 yr old woman in fairly good shape and my body still responds very well to exercise. I would like to try to reduce the size of my thighs through diet and exercise... Does any have any tips or suggestions as to how i can attain my goal?

If you are looking for a new program - take a look at the stickies at the top of the board - there are links for several sample meal plans and also a great little program called "The Shadow Project" that several of the girls followed very successfully last year.

As far as specifically targeting your thighs - welcome to the wonderful world of estrogen - that's where the Maker decided it would be useful us girls to carry some extra fat. Two thing you can do - keep consistent w/ diet & training to lose bodyfat - where there are greater concentrations of fat cells, will look like the slowest spots to respond - so you just keep plugging away - can't spot reduce. And second, diet & train to continue to build muscle - more muscle makes bodyfat look less "squishy" or "loose".

Sadly the golden era gang was wrong thinking one could spot reduce But with a good nutrition, weight training and cardio program you can lose fat overall, including your thighs.

What are your current stats? Nutrition habits? What kind of routine do you do at the moment, etc. With that information, it will be a lot easier to give you advice.
