Be A Cardio Queen
Get at least 45 – 60 minutes, three to five days per week. A combination of steady state and high intensity cardio will work to create a calorie deficit and in turn will help reduce overall body fat and slim down your thighs, such as:
-jumping jacks
-high knee walking in place
-burpees
The shorter the session, the higher the intensity – think interval training like doing push-ups, then crunches, then jumping jacks, then burpees. Each one for only 45 seconds to one minute switching quickly to the next set. Make the most of your time you have to burn the most calories.
