How to Get Rid of Thunder Thighs and Saddle Bags
Thunder Thighs - even the sound Thunder Thighs - makes you shudder.
If your a woman with heavy thighs then you know how sensitive you can be to comedian's
jokes about the clapping of thunder thighs when you walk and the swinging of saddle bags.
Maybe if thunder thighs affected men like it does women then the comedians wouldn't be as fast to shoot out the jokes. But it doesn't, so we'll have to either be proud as to what God gave you or exercise and diet to help slim them down.
On this page you will discover the most effective exercises to help slim down both your inner and outer thighs and shape your butt.
Warm Up Exercises and Stretching Your Legs
Before attempting any exercise program please check with your doctor to be sure that you are fit enough to exercise. This is especially important if you are pregnant, have not exercised for a while or you have any problems with your back.Once you get the ok, it's time to start planning your exercise workouts.
Although everyone wants to get their workouts done as quickly as possible please don't forget to spend about 10 minutes warming up and stretching out before you exercise and 10 cooling down when your finished exercising.
Warming up your muscles will help you avoid muscle and joint injury. You can't exercise if your injured so please warm up first.
Warming up can be as simple as walking around the block.
As you walk start from a slow pace and steadily speed up your pace. You can also increase the size of your steps which will help to stretch out your leg muscles in addition to getting a warm up. As you get towards the last 2 minutes of your warm up slow to slow the pace down.
This will prepare your body for the stretches.
Stretches can be lunges, going up and down your stairs (take them 2 at a time going up but only one at a time going down), squats, or stretching out as the photo shows.

The Exercise Ball and Inner Thigh Exercises
There are several exercises that you can do to exercise and tone your inner thighs using an exercise ball( also known as a Bosu ball ).
For a few examples watch the video down below.
Using an Exercise Ball To Exercise Your Outer Thighs
Exercise balls are very inexpensive. When comparing the prices of the exercise balls you'll notice that the balls come in different sizes, different durability levels, and some come in sets where you receive 3 - 4 different size balls.There are also newer balls which are slide resistant or dimpled and can help stop the ball from slipping away. This does come in handy, especially if you are also going to use the balance ball for ab workouts.
Exercises to Reduce Both Inner & Outer Thighs & Tone Your Butt

Below are the two best exercises for slimming the thighs and also will help to firm and shape your butt.
Both are these exercises are great to do while you watch television. Instead of hitting the kitchen during the commercial breaks - exercise instead.
These exercises should be performed s-l-o-w-l-y to get the most benefits from them.
Be sure to warm up and stretch first!
Under Leg Lifts
*Lie on one side on the floor. Place a pillow under the head to make sure the spine is aligned.
*Bend the leg closest to the ceiling and move it to the floor in front so that the other leg is exposed to the ceiling.
*Move the newly exposed leg toward the ceiling.
Hold that position for a few seconds, then bring your leg back to the floor.
Repeat this exercise as many times as needed, but hold it for no longer than thirty seconds on each rep to begin with.
Rest for 30 seconds before switching sides.
Repeat the exercise again after other side has been exercised.
For a challenge, hold the under leg for longer periods of time.
Upper Leg Lifts
*Lie on one side on the floor. Place a pillow under the head to ensure alignment of the spine.
*From the lying position, lift the leg closest to the ceiling so that it extends to the side of the body.
*Bring the leg to its original position and repeat the process.
Repeat as many times as needed, but for no more than 30 seconds.
Take a 30 second break before switching sides.
For a greater challenge, use a resistance band. Place one end of the band around each ankle. The bottom leg will serve as an anchor to provide some resistance as the top leg is extended.
A Good Back of Thigh and Butt Exercise

This exercise will give you similar results as you would get from a leg curl machine at the gym.
~ Get down on the floor on your elbows and knees.
~ You may clasp your hands for added stability or let your hand be relaxed facing inward.
~ Your elbows should be about shoulder length apart and your knees should be directly below your hips.
~ Now slowly move your left knee out from under and behind you, lifting your leg towards the ceiling. Then move your leg back under you but do not rest it on the ground. Swing your leg back out again. Do this 20 times.
~ Place your left knee back on the floor and now do this exercise with your right leg, raising 20 times.
You will alternate sides until you have completed this exercise 100 times on each side.
Please note*
Do not attempt to do this exercise if you have any back issues.
Also do not sway your back while performing this exercise. You should not be using your back muscles to move your leg, but should be using your leg and butt muscles.

Lets Exercise Those Outer Thighs - the Saddle Bags

Reducing thunder thighs (the outer part of the thigh) for some women does take time while there are many that will see results in as little as 2 weeks.
A good way to measure your progress is to keep a pair of snug jeans handy and try them on once a week.
Try to use these pants just for measuring because if you wash and dry them they may shrink and even though you may have some slimming down you won't notice it.
Just remember that exercises meant to strengthen muscle groups actually do not cause fat to disappear from that specific area of the body (spot reducing).
However, the inclusion of cardiovascular exercise (cardio) and strength training can help to burn calories and reduce fat from all areas of the body.
Long, lean thigh muscles are useful and also very appealing.
Try these exercises to strengthen and tone outer thigh muscles.
Squats
If a squat bar or similar equipment isn't easily available, purchase two dumb bells of the same size and weight. As thigh muscles are stronger than most any other, the weights can be a little heavier than those meant for arm exercises.
Stand with the feet shoulder width apart, with eyes and toes forward.
The weights should be at the side in each hand.
Bend at the knees to only about 90 degrees.
Your back should not bend at all, and your face should remain forward.
Straighten your knees and begin again.
Do this exercise for as many times as needed, but for no longer than thirty seconds each round.
Take a thirty second break before the next round.
Leg Extensions Using A Resistance Band
Your resistance band needs to extend so that you can sit in a chair with the band around your ankle and still be able to fully extend your leg.
Place one end of the band around a forward leg of a chair.
Place the other end of the band around your ankle.
Extend the leg as far as the band allows.
Keep your toe pointing upward toward the ceiling.
Return the leg to its natural position.
Continue the exercise as many times as you can comfortable but for no longer than 30 seconds.
Break for 30 seconds before switching to the other leg.
Then repeat the exercise as many times as you like, building up to approximately 25 times with each leg.
While reducing thunder thighs, it is important to realize that not everyone is shaped the same, so results will depend on your body type, your height and your genes.
The thigh muscle is a long muscle, and you will see results on the full length of the muscle from about 1 inch above your knee to the very top of your outer leg.
