What Is the Quickest Way to Lose Weight on Your Legs & Butt?

While some people have trouble losing extra weight on their stomach, others view their lower body as trouble spots. Though it may not be as medically dangerous as belly fat, carrying around extra weight on your legs and bum can make wearing a swimsuit or shorts uncomfortable. Losing weight from this area of your body takes a solid eating plan and plenty of cardiovascular and strength training exercise. However, the effort you put into it can lead to many happy days on the beach.

Step 1

Eliminate foods that contain sugar, white flour and saturated and trans fats. These foods, such as pizza, French fries and ice cream, will show up as fat right on your thighs and butt.

Step 2

Replace the unhealthy foods with whole, real nutritious foods, such as fresh fruits, garden vegetables and whole-grain complex carbohydrates. For example, snack on apples, pears, oranges, carrot sticks, bell peppers and fresh whole-wheat breads.

Step 3

Eat lean protein at every meal. Protein is needed regularly throughout the day by your body and will help it to stay energized, build muscle and promote a strong immune system. Try egg whites, chicken, turkey, fresh fish and low-fat dairy products, like yogurt, cheese and milk.


Step 1

Run three times per week to burn off the fat on your thighs and bum. Running at the pace of a 10-minute mile can burn approximately 300 to 444 calories in a half-hour, depending on your weight and height, according to Harvard Health Publications. Running will also specifically tone and strengthen your thighs and butt.

Step 2

Attend an indoor cycling class. Indoor cycling can burn over 800 calories in a 60-minute session, which will greatly help to quickly drop fat from your thighs and butt. Additionally, indoor cycling focuses on the lower body muscle groups, including your glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and calves.

Step 3

Jump rope to slim down your thighs and bum. Jumping rope can burn 135 calories in just 10 minutes, and similar to running and indoor cycling, it will help to sculpt and tone your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves.

Step 1

Strengthen and tone your thigh and butt muscles, to help them appear slimmer, by performing three sets of the plie squat with lifted heels. This exercise will hit all of the muscles in your lower body.

Step 2

Stand with your feet approximately two-feet apart, and in a parallel line to each other. Have your feet turned out to a 45-degree angle; making sure that your hip, knee and ankle are in one line.

Step 3

Lift your heels off of the floor and bend your knees and lower into a squat, stopping when your thighs are parallel to the floor. Make sure your torso is as upright as possible, though you may be slightly leaning forward. Your hands may be extended out to the sides or on your hips.

Step 4

Push through your toes to return to starting position, keeping your heels lifted the entire time. Complete three sets of 12 squats.

Warnings
Consult your doctor prior to beginning a new or more intense exercise program.

Tips
Change the intensity, frequency or duration of your workouts every four weeks to continue to burn plenty of calories.

Having A Big Bum, Hips And Thighs 'Is Healthy'

Carrying extra weight on your hips, bum and thighs is good for your health, protecting against heart and metabolic problems, UK experts have said.

Hip fat mops up harmful fatty acids and contains an anti-inflammatory agent that stops arteries clogging, they say.

Big behinds are preferable to extra fat around the waistline, which gives no such protection, the Oxford team said.

Science could look to deliberately increase hip fat, they told the International Journal of Obesity.

And in the future, doctors might prescribe ways to redistribute body fat to the hips to protect against cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

The researchers said having too little fat around the hips can lead to serious metabolic problems, as occurs in Cushing's syndrome.

Shape not weight

Evidence shows that fat around the thighs and backside is harder to shift than fat around the waist.

Although this may sound undesirable, it is actually beneficial because when fat is broken down quickly it releases a lot of cytokines which trigger inflammation in the body, say experts.

These cytokines have been linked to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and diabetes.

Fat around the hips and thighs is good for you but around the tummy is bad

Lead researcher Dr Konstantinos Manolopoulos


The slower burning hip fat also makes more of the hormone adiponectin that protects the arteries and promotes better blood sugar control and fat burning.

In comparison, carrying excess fat around the stomach, being "apple shaped", raises the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Lead researcher Dr Konstantinos Manolopoulos, of Oxford University, said: "It is shape that matters and where the fat gathers.

"Fat around the hips and thighs is good for you but around the tummy is bad."

He said in an ideal world, the more fat around the thighs the better - as long as the tummy stays slim.

"Unfortunately, you tend not to get one without the other," he said.

Fotini Rozakeas of the British Heart Foundation said: "This research helps us better to understand how fat acts in the body in order to develop new approaches in reducing heart and circulatory disease.

"If you are overweight, obese, or if you have a waist size that is increased, it is important to make changes to your lifestyle, such as eating a healthy diet and doing regular physical activity, to reduce your risk of heart health problems."
