Never skip your first meal of the day. A hearty breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, which helps to reduce your overall body fat, and that includes your legs. Stay away from sugary foods that are filled with refined carbs. Instead, pile up on the complex carbs that give you plenty of protein and fibre. You can gain enough energy for that morning workout, and you’ll build muscle while you’re at it.

Forget the lift and climb the stairs if you’re not in a hurry. Doing this simple exercise everyday can help to increase your metabolism and burn thigh fat. To make the most out of every step, try leaning a little forward from the hips and keep your back straight while walking up the stairs. This technique can tone your leg muscles more effectively.

We’re often caught up with our busy schedules that we don’t pay attention to how much or what we’re exactly eating at every meal. Try logging your daily calorie intake at each meal as well as the calories burnt while exercising. This doesn’t just help you keep track of how effective your weight loss plans are but also motivates you even more by recording down your daily achievements.
