Combo exercise: To lose fat and get toned, exercise 150min/week. Mix it up with cardio and weight training. Improve your diet and eat less. Eat nutritionally rich but calorie low which means more plants, lean meats, and limited whole grain carbs. Drink water.

Cardio/Resistance: Do a combination of cardiovascular/aerobic exercise and reistance training combined with healthy eating. Be consistant and continue to increase resistance and level and you will see results.

Drink 10 - 12 glasses of water/day including 2 glasses of before every meal. Limit daily calorie intake to 2,000/day. With lots of fruit & vegetables. Do lots of walking & climb stairs rather than using elevators plus stand on your feet as much as possible. Refrain from being couch potato. Remember no exercise means an unhealthy future.

Overweight: A proper diet and exercise will help you control your weight and get rid of some of the fat in your thighs. But most important, before starting any such programs, consult a primary care physician for a thorough physical exam.

Weight loss: If you have adipose tissue that you'd like to lose then consider an increase in cardio and a balanced diet. However, do not always do the same exercise or you will increase your risks for stress injuries. Mix things up with running, biking, swimming, or circuit training. Ultimately you need to burn more than you consume.
