Cycling & ankle weights

10 ways to thinner thighs | Diets
Average rating: 5 out of 5 star rating

7. Cycling

Whether you go out into the countryside for a bike ride or you ride an exercise bike, cycling is great for losing weight and slimming your thighs. Cycling also gives you really shapely calves too.

If you can do 30 minutes a day you'll see the weight drop off and you'll have thinner thighs in a month.

8. Ankle weights

If you don't have time to exercise you could always invest in some ankle weights. They come in a variety of weights but it's best to start off low at 1 or 2 kilos.

Strap them to your ankles and go about your daily life - although it's not a good idea to drive with them, but they can turn housework into a great workout.

You can also adjust them so they fit over your knees or thighs to work on that area of the leg. Wearing weights on your ankles will still help you tone your thighs, though.
