What kind of exercise do I need to make my thighs bigger?

Asked by 2late2be (2292points) October 13th, 2009 from iPhone

I’m feeling very happy with the results of me being in the gym, but I wish I had bigger thighs, mine are very thin, I want them to be a little bit bigger, what can I do?

Thighs?

I’m going to assume you mean thighs.

Squats & lunges will help develop your thin thighs (Wish I had this problem ;)

Buy some bigger ones.

@patg7590 I don’t think so

What @SpatzieLover said (squats and lunges). Some good power biking works, as well.

Well you need more fat or bigger muscles, take your pick. Besides squats and lunges, I believe if you want your muscle mass to expand you could try doing a couple sets of short high bursts of sprinting, make sure you warm-up first. Oh, and check this.

Since you’re looking to increase size I recommend doing a regiment of squats, lunges, deadlifts, and leg press

you want heavy weight low reps try looking up a 5×5 routine. good luck

get some protein / weight gainer i recommend anything by optimum nutrition

@everyone I’m sorry but I’m still in the process of learning English…

@2late2be You’re doing great…I thought English was your first language! Just thought you had a big typo

Pregnancy will do it!

@Val123 So will cake, ice cream, and for me…Water! Or you could just become Italian (all added pounds first go to my thighs, then my ass)

2late2be's avatar

LOL, but I just want that part of my body to be bigger, not my belly or hips..

Do 30 sets of spoon to mouth, 3 times a day.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@2late2be Well, you could just wear baggier jeans ;)
Seriously though, adding weights with the above mentioned exercises should help your thighs build you (I do this with my arms to give the illusion that my thighs are smaller;)

@2late2be your English is great! I thought it was a typo, I would never have mocked it if I knew it was a non native English speaking issue.

I never knew people ever wanted bigger thighs…

@DominicX Gotta be guy! Wants to look like a football player!

2late2be's avatar

@Val123 I’m not a guy. I do not want to look like a football player, just want my legs to look like the rest of my body, dont want to look like a cone!

Val123's avatar

@2late2be Damn. Do you know a good orthopedic surgeon who does foot in mouth removal? I’m so sorry! OK…leg lifts would be good.

“like a cone”

Really though, there is a huge list of really great exercises here:

Squats are still going to be best though.
