However, with the shutting down of gymnasiums and fitness centres, people were left with no choice but to workout at home.

Given the enclosed space of the four walls of your house and so many food trends doing the rounds on social media, you are bound to get tempted to try them. Many donned chef hats to cook new dishes as restaurants were hit hard and people wanted to avoid food deliveries too. Hogging on so much food and not exercising will only lead to a lethargic lifestyle and lack of body movement. End result? Weight gain. While spot reduction is believed to be a myth because it is said that the body tends to lose weight overall, there are many out there who wish to reduce the fat on their legs. 

Tired of looking at your thunder thighs and want to shed all that thigh fat at home? Here are some simple exercises that you can perform regularly at home to notice a major difference in that stubborn fat on your thighs. 

1.  Side Planks 

If you’re a beginner, we wouldn’t want you to overdo it on your first day. These side planks are an easy exercise that can be a good starting point. All you have to do is lie on the mat, with your body facing one side. Start by lifting your bottom left leg and rest the right one on it. Lift it all together and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat this on the other side with your right leg at the bottom and left leg above it. Try to do at least 10 reps on both sides.

For the reverse plank, lie down on the mat and face the ceiling or sky. Raise your upper body till the waist and place your hands at the back, near your waist. Slowly, pick up your legs in the same straight position along with your hips, such that only your toes touch the ankle touches the ground. Take the dips and hold for a few seconds in the air. You can also use a chair to hold as a support. Repeat this 30 times. 

While these exercises seem to be effective in losing thigh fat, dietary changes can speed up the process. Note: Please ensure to consult your doctor in case you suffering from any physical ailment.
