7 Moves to Target and Tone Your Thighs

Build a solid pair of legs you can be proud of!

Thighs are a pesky area to see results. That’s because they’re made up of some of the largest muscles in your body! Large muscles require you to think outside the box if you want to get the best results. Our 7 Moves to Target and Tone Your Thighs offers a fat-blasting approach for building muscles while burning excess fat and sculpting your dream legs.

In order to burn fat at a higher rate, you need to build muscle. The thing about building muscle is – even when you exercise a specific muscle group – you can’t choose where the fat-burning happens. With a mix of cardio and thigh-focused exercises for muscle building, our 7 Moves to Target and Tone Your Thighs will shred, tone, and build a solid pair of legs you can be proud of.

Tip: If you’re looking to up the ante and burn even more fat, try our Jump Rope Tabata Challenge on your off days. Additionally, visit our Weight Loss Tips section to find all the healthy-eating tips you’ll need to get (and keep) the results you desire.
