exercise ideas or tips...for inner thighs....

hello folks, i am at the 6 week post stage, i have gotten back up to walking a mile on my treadmill, and then i go out in the pool and work on several things while in the pool....i keep increasing the numbers that i do while in the pool..takes me about 45 min to go through my routine that i do....i can tell my muscles are getting sore from what i am doing....even getting in some laps using the kick board....

my question is this....i have these i call them fat bubbles on the insides of my thighs.. right below my belly.....i can tell i have been loosing weight in my boobs, fingers, face and even legs and booty...but not seen any difference in these fat bubbles...

are the any specific exercises to do for that region? or will they just go down as i loose more weight? im not too adabpt about getting on the floor as, would end up staying there.. ha hah...

thanks for any ideas you may have...is there a more technicial name for these fat bubbles?
have a great day

Do a google search for "jazzercise attitude lift." It's a good move for inner thighs.

Another option is found under "jazzercise plie." Do enough of these and you will have TIGHT legs.

I couldnt find this one on line, but will try to describe it:
Lay on one side. Bend bottom leg forward so knee is bent. Bend top knee and put foot on the floor behind your bent leg for stability. Raise bottom leg about 6" off the floor and lower. For added challenge and strength building, hold a hand weight on the inner thigh muscle. We do about 50 of these per leg in my class and you DO feel it and see results!

You can work on muscles in various regions but the fat goes from where ever it feels like it. 
My Chrioprator suggested this for strenghening my knee.  Use an exercise ball.  Mine is pretty big and my legs are pretty short so I straddle mine, and push into it with my knees.  Hold for 10 sec, release for 10 sec.  Do 5 reps.  If you ball is small enought for you to sit with it between your knees, squeeze and release that way.  Mine is just too big for that.

You know that sounds an awful lot like riding a horse!  I'm thinking posting a trot would do wonders for my thighs .... 

yeah, I'm hoping it will help when I can ride again.

Riding a bike is great for the thighs!

The best thing I've found is squats. Put some heavy weights on your thighs and do lots of squats. Ouch. They hurt and you'll be sore but you'll see some results.

As others have stated you can't target fat burn to any specific area regardless of what the late night infomercials want you to believe.  You can and should do some sort of weight routine that targets specific muscle groups, as this will give you the best results in your efforts.  Your body is going to consume fat stores from where it wants when it wants regardless of the exercise type or muscle group used.

Now as for doing weights more lean muscle mass will increase your RMR which means you body will burn more calories just doing its functions.  Muscle also requires more calories when utilized so you everyday activities will also increase your caloric burn rate.  Finally while cardio is great at burning a lot of calories in a short amount of time especially for those of us that are larger in size and not as in shape, this burn tapers off as your heart rate decreases post exercise.  Weight training however gives you a smaller short term calorie burn but this burn lasts much longer while your body repairs the damaged muscles and builds new additional muscle.

A few things to keep in mind though are that as you increase your exercise you may see a slow down in the rate at which you lose in depending on your diet.  You will retain some fluids this is a standard part of what your body does when it rebuilds muscle and replinishes your glycogen stores.

You may even see a slight increase in your weight for a period and many people will say "Well you are lifting weights and muscle weighs more than fat". Not totally true, 1pound of fat and 1 pound of muscle weigh.... THE EXACT SAME!  However muscle is more dense than fat so 1 pound of muscle takes up less space than 1 pound of fat.  This is one reason that many of us who exercise really don't pay much attention to the scale and go more by how things fit.  Example on average I weigh the same now as I did when I bought jeans that were 38s or tight 36s, my 38s now require a belt and I hae no muffin top on the 36s even with a shirt tucked in.  So I have lost fat but have increased my muscle mass.  Also gaining muscle is not something that happens quickly. It does take time.

Also weight training will not do away with excess skin but rather helps put some of the excess skin to use as you build muscle mass.

Good Luck!
