Resize Your Hips and Thighs

The only way to lose fat from your hips and thighs or any other area of the body is to burn it off. This means you will need to increase the calories, you burn per day through exercise and decrease the amount of calories you take in through food and drink.

To burn calories you will need to do some form of aerobic activity each day in order to get rid of the fat. You will also need to do strength-building workouts to strengthen and tone the muscles.

You can get thin with only doing aerobics; however, you will not have muscle tone. Which will leave you as a skinny/flabby person and that is not attractive or healthy. If you only do strength building such as Pilate's, weightlifting etc. you will have great muscle tone but no one will see it due to the layer of fat covering the muscle.

Therefore, you need a combination of aerobic and strength building if you really want to achieve a beautiful balanced body. By doing a combination of aerobic exercise along with strength building you will be ridding your body of excess fat while also improving muscle tone. I would personally recommend concentrating the strength building or toning moves to the area you are concerned about, however, don't limit your strength-building and toning to only those area's.

My personal favorite moves that are excellent for concentrated toning of the hips and thighs are:

Wall Sit:

The wall sit is an easy yet very effective exercise for this area. In order to do the wall sit you will need to back up against a wall, and then walk your feet out until you look like you are sitting in a chair. Hold this position as long as possible. You can also add some arm toning with lightweights if you want while in this position.

Lunges and Squats:
