Do your legs look heavy at the top? The best solution is to jump rope. The up and down movements of your legs create a friction that tells the fat cells to release. A weighted jump rope makes a better tool for this exercise. I have found using a kitchen timer is one of the easiest ways to keep track of how much time you have jumped. You should build up to 5 minutes a day of jumping rope. This breaks down into 5, 1 minute sessions. Easy enough! You can make a journal of the days you have jumped one or more minutes, by the end of the month you should see a nice change in the width of your thighs!

Do you exercise your thighs by riding a bike? Sitting down? The best results come from standing up. So, get up off those sit down machines and don’t you dare use a bike to tone those thighs!

Recently a study showed anything that makes you sit down is not natural; sitting down is constricting the veins in your legs and cuts down on the amount of oxygen that can travel between your heart and your legs. Sitting down then becomes less efficient when it comes to losing weight, toning and shaping up.

Jumping up and down works everything in your legs great. I recommend jumping on a mini-trampoline, the size you can purchase at Wal-Mart for around $30, depending on where you live.

My busy schedule does not allow enough time for me to go to the gym, even if I wanted to, I’d still have to squeeze something else out! The mini-trampoline allows me to have a gym workout right in my house at my time, when I am able to do it!

We all say “I need to lose weight“, if you are serious about loosing extra weight then try out the mini-trampoline. I usually do not have time to watch TV, but when I do, I use the commercial time to exercise. These 3 minutes is actually a cardio booster if you are watching a ? hour show, then you get roughly 9 minutes of exercise! Give the mini-trampoline about 10-12 days to see a nice change in your thighs!

This is truly a fantastic way to lose extra inches around your thighs! What have you got to loose? Hopefully a few extra pounds!

If you drink basic water only once a day you are telling your body that water is scarce. This is something your body learned many years ago, thousands of years ago to be exact.
