To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I’m really dissatisfied with the fat on my thighs. Is there such a thing as spot reducing my thighs with miracle creams…or do I have to get on a stairmaster?”
From Sara of Fit by Sara: “If you’re looking to get rid of fat on your thighs, miracle creams won’t do the trick long term. Creams can reduce the “appearance” of body fat temporarily by smoothing the outer layer of your skin, but the results won’t last long term because it’s not getting rid of the body fat underneath. The best way to reduce body fat is through a healthy diet and consistent exercise that gets your heart rate up for a min. of 30 min. 3-5 X per week. Kickboxing, lunges, and squats will firm your muscles. Through getting your heart rate up you will lose body fat which will equal firmer thighs. In addition to firmer thighs you’ll feel more energized and experience an increase in body tone everywhere. So, you don’t need to get on a stairmaster (although that will work), find exercise that you enjoy doing- just be sure to get your heart rate up. Use the money you would have spent on an expensive cream on a fun class, a private session with a trainer, a good workout video, or a gym membership!”
