Warm weather and figure-revealing clothes inspire nearly everyone to want to look better. Most women find that the areas they most want to improve are their hips and their upper legs. They might be tempted to plunge into a program of exercises to get slimmer thighs without really knowing the best approach.
What exercising does for you is to tone the muscles underneath the fat. Exercise does increase the number of calories you burn and will help you lose weight. However, the weight you lose will not disappear just from the parts of your body that you exercise. It will decrease from all over your body in a pattern predetermined by your genetics.
