Hoping to shed some fat off your thighs and looking for some great exercises that will help get you there? Well, you're in the right place because with over a decade of experience working as a personal trainer, I've learned what the absolute best exercises for slimmer thighs are. But, before I get into them, I'd like to first take a minute to clarify some common misconceptions about fat loss.

You might have seen some women who have beautiful upper bodies, but their thighs, hips and legs are fat and ugly. They always try to hide them within baggy trousers which make them look ridiculous.

Experts will tell you that most women have the tendency to accumulate cellulite in the lower parts of the body. This is one reason that their thighs, butts and legs are thick and flabby.

Jumping on a mini-trampoline works your whole thigh, but if you jump with your legs farther apart you'll focus more of the exercise on your inner thighs. Simply jump on a mini-trampoline for 20 minutes a day.

When it comes to trimming your thighs - and losing weight in general - the key is to create a calorie deficit. What that means is that you have to burn more calories than you ingest. This is accomplished through a combination of both your calorie input (eating habits) and your calorie output (activity level).

The next exercise for the outer side is similar like the previous. Sit at the chair's edge, with feet on the ground, and knees bent at 90 degrees of angle. Put your hands on the chair's side. Then, lift the left leg while exhaling. Hold your leg elevated for about 30 second. Then, inhale your breathe while lowering the leg. Once you finish this phase, repeat this action with your right leg.

Exercises such as squats give the best results when losing weight around your thighs is concerned and if you tighten your stomach muscles there is a good chance you will have slimmer thighs as well as firmer stomach. You can do a variety of squats in different position like wide-leg squats, or ball squats, split squats. The easiest way to do squats is to lean your backs on the wall and slowly slide towards the floor doing squats.

If a woman wants to tone her thighs, then I suggest and exercise that I call the sideways kick. You can do this exercise by standing straight up, and then imagine that you are trying to kick someone who is standing beside you. This is one of the most effective thigh exercises for women, because it tones your entire thigh.

One inner thigh exercise that is very effective is the Crossover Knee Raise where you lie down on all fours. Keeping your arms straight and your knee at a 90 degree angle, slowly raise your knee upwards until your feet are pointing towards the ceiling. Hold it for a moment and then slowly bring it down beyond the other leg's calf. You can do this a dozen times before switching legs.
