Slim Thighs & Hips in Two Weeks

Cardio Activity

Cardio activity helps you burn fat all over your body, including the thighs and hips. For fast weight loss in two weeks, select vigorous cardio activity, such as jogging, running, playing racquetball or rollerblading. If these activities are too difficult, select moderate types of activities, such as walking, biking or joining a water aerobics class. Weight loss is slower with moderate activities; however, over time you will build strength and be able to participate in higher intensity activities.

Toning Sessions

Tone your thighs and hips at least twice weekly. Sessions need to last about 20 to 30 minutes. An effective toning exercise for your thighs is the single leg circle. Start out lying down on your exercise mat. Extend your right leg toward the ceiling, pointing your toe. Make five circles in the clockwise direction. Then, switch direction and make five circles counterclockwise. Repeat this sequence five times on each of your legs.

An effective exercise for toning your hips is the side jump. Start in a standing position, hands resting on your hips. Contract your muscles and hop about 3 feet to the left. Land on your left foot, with your knee slightly bent. Return both feet to the ground and repeat this exercise by jumping to the right. Rotate between legs until you've completed 15 repetitions on each of your legs.
