Like certain urban legends, the idea that you loose fat from a specific area of the body, such as your thighs, refuses to die. The body burns the most recent fat deposits first.


This means men tend to loose upper body fat before thigh and belly fat. Exercises helps tone and build your muscles, so that your legs look and feel stronger as you loose excess fat and improve your health and fitness. Cutting calories and engaging in moderate activity most days of the week will burn off your thigh fat.
1. Cut your calories to 1,800 to 2,100 calories a day to loose weight. This is the calorie intake the American Heart Association advises for men's weight loss. To cut calories and keep your appetite in check, avoid foods and drinks with empty calories such as chips, cookies, candy, pastry, and processed foods such as anything made with white flour, including pizza. Avoid fried food.
2. Limit alcohol to two drinks or less per day for men. Drinking less is better for your overall health, cuts empty calories helps you loose weight overall to achieve your goal of losing thigh fat.
3. Establish an exercise program that includes both resistance training and cardiovascular exercise. You may need to exercise more than 30 minutes each day, most days of the week to loose weight, the Weight-Control Information Network suggests.
4. Time your exercise sessions and keep in continuous motion for over 30 minutes for each session. It generally takes 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise to start burning fat. Once you burn off your most recent fat stores from your upper body, you'II start losing thigh fat.
5. Choose exercises that use your leg muscles to help tone your thighs and burn fat overall. Bicycling, walking, stair climbing, hiking and circuit training with weights provides efficient leg workouts to strengthen and firm up your thighs.
TIP/i> • See your doctor before beginning an exercise program if you're over 45 or out of shape. Pick a time of day to exercise and stick with it, the way you commit to keeping appointments. If you have to miss a workout, reschedule it. Stretch before you exercise to warm up your muscles and cut down the risk of injury.
• Consult with your doctor about medical concerns. Add more time to your exercise sessions gradually. If you're out of shape, it's better to start with short, low-intensity exercise than to risk overdoing it and dropping out. A short walk gives you a way to get moving. Add more time to your work as you become more fit.
