How to lose weight in your thighs

Oblique V-ups: Lying on the floor on your side, hands crossed over your chest, keep your legs together and lift them off of the floor about 4-5 inches. At the same time scrunch your body so that the elbow on the top side of you body moves a bit towards your top leg. You'll feel it in your legs, hips and side. Do 10 repetitions on each side and do this 2 times a day. You will feel this in your legs, sides and although you should not feel this in your back, the oblique muscles will be working to tighten the fat across your back.

Side leg lifts: Again lying on your side, lower leg slightly bent, raise your upper leg slowly to the count of 10. Do this 15 times for each leg and do 2 sets. You should feel this in your inner and outer thighs and hip area.

Squeezes: This is perfect for inner and outer thighs and butt. While standing with your feet shoulder length apart, knees bent so that your knees are over your toes, squeeze your inner thighs
and pull yourself up to a standing position using your thigh muscles. Then lower yourself again without squeezing then start again. I do about 50 of these a day, scattered out during the day. You should not feel it in your knees and if you do it means that either you are lowering yourself too fat or you are not using your thigh and butt muscles to lift you up,
