For that lean, long look!
Getting leaner thighs is about more than just squatting heavy weights. Squats, lunges, and deadlifts are all great for the thighs, but in order to get that long and lean look, you should also use moves that tone the thigh without bulking it up. This is why we recommend these 5 moves to get leaner thighs.
The moves we’ve chosen are bodyweight exercises, which will target the hamstrings and quads without bulking. We’ve also incorporated some explosive plyometric moves. These moves double as cardio, helping to reduce thigh jiggle while building muscle.
You can follow the workout below, or you can incorporate these five moves into your own routine. To get the most out of these exercises, work to complete the moves as quickly as possible while maintaining proper form.
