How to Lose Weight in Legs, Thighs, Butt & Calves at Home

To lose weight in your lower body, you must burn fat all over. Unfortunately, there is no way to "spot-reduce" or lose fat from certain body parts and not others, says the American Council on Exercise. Weight loss throughout the body comes down to burning more calories than you consume, so focus on cardio exercises to burn calories, muscle strengthening to firm your body, and healthy eating to eliminate excessive calorie intake and get proper nourishment.
