We all know that sedentary lifestyle leads to weight gain.
It is said that the most stubborn fat exists in our lower body such as legs and thighs and it’s the toughest to reduce it.
The inner thighs are especially the problem zones for women, making their legs look disproportionate.
Apart from this, thigh fat can also lead to gait issues.
A heavy lower body can affect your body balance leading to falls and fractures.
Also, fat thighs can give you skin rashes as they rub against each other.
