OMG My Thighs Are Getting HUGE!

“Krista…”

My mom called me up the other day, noticeable worry in her voice.

“I have a problem.”

My mom then explained how after nearly five months of doing some type of resistance training four or five days a week, she was starting to notice her thighs getting bigger.

“And that wasn’t exactly the goal,” she said, obviously freaking out a little.

“Calm down,” I said. “Tell me exactly what’s happening.”

“Well,” she went on, “my waist is getting smaller and firmer, but my thighs are GROWING. It’s getting harder and harder to fit into my pants!”

I laughed, and proceeded to explain.

Here’s what happens when you begin a new exercise program:

You start to lose weight and gain strength almost immediately. This makes you happy and motivates you to keep exercising.

Then you hit your first plateau. Your strength and endurance gains start to slow, and you stop shedding the pounds as quickly as you were in the beginning.

And then… here’s the scary part for women… often certain body parts start getting BIGGER. Your thighs grow, and you may have a harder time fitting in those skinny jeans you bought six months ago, not because you’re getting fatter, just because you’re getting… bigger.

(Of course, if you’re working all of your muscles equally, this happens with all parts of your body, it’s just most noticeable on your thighs, arms and shoulders.)

This scares the crap out of most women. I’ll admit, back when I was first experimenting with weights, I got so scared when my thighs started to expand that I actually stopped working out.

“Lunges and squats make my thighs too big,” I told my trainer in high school, and stubbornly refused to do them.

I saw this same scenario with many of my own clients as a personal trainer—they were all ready to quit as soon as they felt their thighs getting closer together. The women, at least.

(This happens to men, too, it just bothers them less.)

But here’s the thing, females (and overly concerned men)…

Resistance training is good for you.

When you reach this phase in your training where you start to feel a little… bigger… that means you’re putting on muscle. And you know what muscle does? BURNS CALORIES!

“But I don’t want to stay that way forever!” You say (and my mom says).

Here’s my promise to you: you won’t.

Because you know what happens after you put on muscle and stick out your training for a little while?

You lose the layer. Yes, that layer of fat over your beautiful, shapely muscles—the layer that causes your clothes to not fit right, that embarrasses you in a swimsuit, that creates unsightly cellulite… that layer disappears.

So Mom, and everyone else out there… just stick it out. It’ll all be worth it in the end.

  1. I have this very same problem. but I am worried because I started training hard in june. I feel like I should be past this stage! Is there a time period after which you should start worrying?

  2. Oh thank god! I’ve been lifting and doing lots of your workouts for the past couple of months and all my pants and some shirts are tighter! I was really starting to freak out. I”m trying to cut back on the calories a bit to help ignite the fat shedding and will keep increasing my intensity with the workouts. Phew, what a relief to read this! I was so confused! 🙂

  3. Hello, so I did HIIT for a few weeks a while back and I noticed that my stomach was getting smaller and tighter.. But.. I felt like my legs were getting more bulky and muscular. This is not what I want because I already have pretty muscular thighs to begin with. So I was just wondering if you could help me out because I’ve been struggling lately!
    Thank you!

  4. Happy I read this! I’m about 6’1 and currently 162. I eat well & take amazing supplements but working out was never my thing until about 2-3 months ago. I have noticed, and so have others, that my arms and back are sculpted and getting more tone. My lower half seems to be improving (butt lifted more) except for by thighs. I consider myself pear shaped in that area. My things seem to be getting bigger! and the cellulite won’t go away 🙁 I’m going on vacation in 4 weeks and was hoping my things would be in shape to wear shorts. I thought lunges and squats would help but I seem to be getting bigger. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  7. I’ve been working out for over two years now … i used to run long distance at 6mph-8mph for 40mins-1hr for the first year but then changed to intervals (30:30secas for 30mins) at 5.5mph and 10 mph…. I also did like Kayla Itsines Bikini Body guide, Body Shred Program, pilates, jump rope etc – I even have a personal trainer! But my legs have not slimmed down! They just get more muscular&bigger – the fats still there!! I think my diet’s pretty good too (fish, quinoa, avocado, eggs, spinach, greek yogurt etc. very low carb) but I’m not getting as lean as I want!!! My clothes feel tighter too! sometimea my weight fluctuates like 3-4kgs and takes forever to go back down. Any suggestions?

    • Hey I hear you. How often are you working out? A workout is stress and can affect your hormone levels (like cortisol) You may have a hard time shedding lbs if your body is too stressed. Monitor your HR it needs to be lower to burn fat. Also dont over work out. Good luck!

  8. im skinny and have skinny legs ism teying to get them bigg and miscular and more shape in my body but when i workout ill start to get big then when i stop for a weeek i just lose it all and i go back to having skinny legs will this workout keep ny legs big

    Reply
    • Maybe change up your diet, I know you are probably used to low carb, keto diet but you should give high carb low fat diet a go, the body needs carbs to move and ketosis puts a lot of pressure on your metabolism, so your body is probably storing fat as it is being stressed for lack of complex carbs. Eat early most of your calories and give your body the macro (and micro) nutrients it needs

  9. that actually sucks!!! i’ve always WANTED bigger, thicker thighs. i think mine are wayyy too skinny and i hate them. i started doing squats & other things to make my thighs bigger, but now i know that it won’t last :/ i kind of don’t want to lose that layer of fat! for me, (the right kind of) thickness is GOOD!!

    Reply
    • I hate hate hate my thighs. I’m only 5ft and weigh 130 lbs because I am naturally muscular (23 ich waist, 23 inch thighs) My dad was a sprinter/pole vaulter and my mother was called thunder thighs at school so I have muscle and fat from both sides. I used to be anorexic and I’m really struggling with being a good 12kg heavier than I used to be since eating normally. The second I exercise (and I can do *7 hours* of cardio in a session) I get bigger and heavier. My shorts wont fit suddenly when they did a few days ago. Being so short, the size of my thighs stands out, as they are about the same size as my entire upper body. My quads stick out from the top of my hip to my knee and hamstrings stick out at the back, which just looks bulky and awkward. My shorts and skirts keep riding up my ass, tights are stretched around the thigh and saggy at the knee. I hate catching myself in the mirror side-on because I am just made of thighs. Freaking wish I had smaller legs so I can wear cute clothes. I don’t even lift but I look like I do!

        • I have been working out for the past 2 years. I mostly workout using a cross trainer and I was losing weight and shedding inches. But now, I am noticing that my thighs are getting a little bigger but feel toned. I got worried and started doing squats and lunges. I really hope I am able to shed this extra fat from my thighs. Really relieved after reading this article.

      • I am the complete opposite, 5 foot 10, 20.5 inch thighs, no hips. I feel jealous of your shapely and powerful thighs and so wish mine were even half what you describe. I am also too tall. Guess we all have hang-ups, but I would embrace having your body.

  10. Stop squatting you will not slim thighs with this method esp if you are a mesomorph shape or a pear shape.Honestly Callanetics is great for slimming thighs just look at Callans legs and her students.Do not over stress the middle quad , inner and outer thigh needs more focus.I never found squats any good for backside , just built up my thighs and made me look shorter and wider.Squats suit ectomorph shapes and those with long legs and tall height .A woman under five six with short thighs will look worse with resistance training in the form of weighted squats and lunges.You also need to stretch a lot and hold stretches for 50 100 seconds .

    Reply
    • Of course! I agree wirh you! That is why I stay away from the squad and lunges that make my thigh look bulky. The best way to slim down the upper thighs is a lot of walking, steady pace cycling, and callanetics. Callanetixs and Pilates are good workout too. Also make sure to eat foods that are high in potassium that will help to get rid of toxin and sodium from the upper thighs.

  11. This is exactly what’s happened to me!! I hit my plateau this year & I noticed I feel my thighs are bigger! I am on a powerlifting programme – so keep perservering seems to be the consensus

  12. Thanks for the tip, I really hope this is true as I have run into the same problem. I have been doing all of Julian Michaels workouts as well as the 30 day shred level 1,2, and 3 for about a year now. Now that I have found out that it is bad to repeat workouts over a long period of time, I obviously need to switch it up a bit! However, does anyone have first hand experience of this “weight falling off to reveal muscle miracle”?! Hasn’t happened for me yet

  14. I have this same problem but I don’t think it is ‘the same’ problem. my thighs got bigger close my knee and it is hard, looks like a muscle! But here is the crazy part that freaks me out and I don’t know why: it happened after 1 week (3times) of a 30 minute high intensity workout program. is this a problem?! I just started exercising.

  16. Totally flipped out right now! I’m a middle aged runner/swimmer. I added some HITT to get ready for a beach vacation. Well here I am on vacation and all of my shorts are tight. I’m going to keep it up and hope to get over this large hump

  17. I am just finishing up week 4 of BBG and I am also noticing my pants are feeling tighter and it is confusing because I have been eating well and being consistent with my workout. Before Christmas I did 11 weeks of BBG and I trust me it does work. I slimmed down but also felt bigger before I noticed a change. For me adding extra cardio (running) helps the process. It is so easy to feel discouraged though!

  20. I am truley concerned as well as I was 170lbs and 5’6. I started the anna victoria fit body guide 12 week plan and lost 10lbs by week 6 but then i gained 5 back and ive noticed i have bigger thighs now and i am not loosing much weight anymore. Its week 12 now and im almost done the program but I am not happy with my results. What should I do and when will i start loosing weight, especially from my thighs!

    Reply
  21. This is happening to me as well….sigh…I started getting in the gym regularly about 3 years ago, I shedded 50lbs in a little over a year, & I got down to 120lbs and a size 1/2 (I’m 5ft9 but very small framed and was always naturally thin my whole life until that one little time when I got heavy after an injury) so I have maintained my weight loss for over 2 years now and I’m continuing to go to the gym about 5 times a week. Just lately I’ve noticed my pants are tight in my thighs, butt & hips (I’ve NEVER had a butt, so I kinda like the muscle there lol) but I’m not digging the tightness of my clothes in my pants in my thigh area (hard to find pants to fit when your waist is small) lol & then my arms are super toned and so is my upper back & now my shirts fit tighter in the sleeves but loose everywhere else. How do I lean this out? I don’t want to be bulky. I eat a fairly healthy diet, I get my daily protein, drink tons of water, but I prefer myself ‘skinny fit’ rather than muscle popping out stretching out clothes and bulky. I’m trying to up my cardio daily, and do less strength training. Any other suggestions? So glad I found this article!!

  23. Not sure if you all have noticed all the comments but a LOT of women (especially pear shapes) are not getting good results with lifting heavy weights. Not even when they “hang in there.”

    Women have higher body fat percentage than men and fat does not “turn into” muscle. It sits on top of the muscle you’re building. And you cannot spot reduce so if you tend to hold fat in our butt and thighs even when you are at your most slim and you lift heavy you ARE going to get bigger down there and even a deprivation diet won’t help you (which is no way to live anyway.)

    Also, a pound of fat burns about 2 calories whereas a pound of muscle burns I believe 4 or 5. That’s virtually insignificant. If you put on 10 lbs of muscle (which would be quite a lot of muscle gain for a woman) you’e only burning 30 more calories a day – not enough to make any real difference to your metabolism.

  26. For those looking for a solution, I’d like to offer my perspective….
    I am a model. As a model besides being tall and thin, I’m also suppose to be tight. Even slim women can suffer from a tiny pooch, flimsy love handles, saggy/lacking butt…. you get my point. Now, most of you may not want to look like a model, just a fit woman, but you don’t want to look disproportionate either. You trained hard for this! For most models, when talking to the average fitness guru they repeat over and over, that WOMEN CAN’T BULK UP. Well, I’m here to tell you WE CAN! Sure, we may not end up like The Rock, but our biceps may grow, your could be larger, and I see many women lose their waist and look like a board on the sides. None of this is necessary. Talking to trainers who specialize with models, here are a few tips…
    1. Avoid regular squats. They bulk up the front of your thighs. It only takes 5 days to build muscle, and no where gains muscle faster than the lower body on women. I’ve been instructed to do sumo squats instead, which are pretty much ballet plies. Just remember to stick your butt out for the exercise to be effective like regular squats. I still do lunges, but I don’t use any weights, only body resistance. If your serious, I would stop doing weights withe the lower body, maybe limit to resistance bands, and no sprinting, You can probably assess by yourself how much of an issue this is for you.
    2. Do the same moves, but high reps and using body weights, instead of few reps and heavy weights. You are strong! You will build larger muscles if you use larger weights!
    3. Remember to watch your diet so the fat can melt off. Some helpful tactics, are diets with lots of protein and vegetables, avoiding junk food, bread, and dairy. I don’t have an issue with these food groups, but they always help me when losing weight. I also eat fruit quite a bit, so I limited it to one or two a day, and none later in the day.
    4. Popular exercises for women who want to be long, lean, and toned but not bulky include Pilates, kickboxing, jump roping. and circuits. The best, for a model, would be circuits that are designed for a model, lie the methodology x program. But another program, that’ fast, makes you sweat, and only uses body resistance will help too.
    Good luck!

    • i just turned 17 years old. Ive always had “skinny” legs because I was a dancer, and 7 months ago I started going to TRX classes 5 times a week and I started eating healthier. My problem is that ive noticed that the upper part of my inner thighs started to grow, very quickly. At first they told me that it was muscle but it really doesnt look like it. It feels uncomfortable because my thighs never touched when I closed my legs and now they do.
      Ive noticed that everytime i do squats (any type of squat), lunges (any type of lunge) and stuff like that the upper part of my inner thighs gets bigger, and its not muscle, i know it not muscle, and i eat healthy i dont understand. the worst thing is that im not noticing any difference in my glutes. please help.

  27. Maybe I can offer some advise to calm the freak out effect that everyone is having. I am 5’1″ and 42 years old. I been working out with heavy weights for almost a year now. When I started I weighed in at a wopping 151lbs, for us short people this is pretty heavy. 3 months in I lost 30 lbs and went down 2 sizes. But I wasn’t getting the results that I wanted because that 2 sizes only put me back to the size I been almost all my life. I couldn’t figure out why I still had this layer of fat and I knew under there somewhere was that lean muscle that I have been working on. Then it hit me… I was spending more time lifting than doing cardio. I then started doing a full hour of cardio every other work out and a 15 min cardio after heavy lifting days (about every other day). When I tell you that the weight starting falling off I mean literally it started falling off. I dropped 2 more sizes in the waist with in a month, and could see definition. As far as bulking, if you want a nice round butt it is natural to have the pants fit a little tighter through the hips, thighs and back side, but cardio is what keeps the midsection toned, flat and lean. I have completely changed my body shape and even had to changed the type of jeans I wear to what I call “Butt Jeans” lol. You can go onto Amazon and type in “Butt Jeans” and find lots of jeans that will fit this now beautifully transformed hot body you have worked so hard for… Diet plays another part as well. I can’t stress enough, STAY AWAY from Sugars Period! Good fats such as alvacado and nuts are good only in moderation because they can keep you from shedding that fat away at a steady pace. I intermediate fast every other month to keep my metabolism moving! So go get em’ girls!

  28. Thank you, I was really getting sad. Usually I can drop and see a difference with just a little discipline in my diet, I always work out. But this time I really wanted a forever change with serious muscle definition, and of course I got bigger. On about week 8 and just want to cry. Had my pity party trail mix, but after reading this, I’ll get back on track in the morning. Thanks so much for sharing.

Do you have any advice for me?

    • Okay, Natalie…one thing I’ll tell you here <3
      For one, you were 11, now you're probably around 13. When you are young, your body is growing. When you hit puberty, your body will start to change a bit, and that's normal! Mine did too.
      To have all of the healthy, good, normal body functions that God designed you to be able to have, you've gotta have sufficient nutrients. There is research that proves that if you cut down on calories too much (especially when you're that young–critical processes ramping up here!), it can actually slow down your metabolism and your body will hold onto fat for dear life.
      The key here is to eat healthy, eat balanced, and move your body daily. Try to eat foods in their most natural state — a balanced amount of natural foods — healthy fats, lean proteins, and good carbs. Don't eat too much, don't eat too little. Listen to your stomach's "fullness" signal and comply. Exercise to the point where you do some cardio (powerwalking, running, jogging, dancing etc), some strength (bodyweight strength training, like squats, pushups, lunges, etc are great), and be patient with yourself. (For me, it helps me get some better perspective when I remember: "Okay, it took me 9 months to put this weight on, it's gonna roughly take me 9 months or so to get it off 🙂 )
      Have you heard of Trim Healthy Mama? They have a program for younger kids/teens that works really well if your trying to lose some weight/maintain/get healthier and in shape. basic principle: Don't eat Fats and Carbs together in the same meal. Eat Carbs and meats, Fats and meats; Carbs and Veggies and Protein, or Fats and Veggies and Protein. It really works! It's done great for me and lots of others I know. When you've reached your goal weight, simply add some *Crossovers* back in: Some meals with both Carbs and Fats in them.
      Anyway. Be balanced…DON'T starve yourself! I did that a year ago and all it did was harm. Have you heard of Jesus Christ?? Even though I don't know you, He does and He loves you regardless of what you think or others think. God loved you so, SO much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die in your place so that the punishment for being a sinner (eternal separation from Him in hell — something we ALL deserve, including you and me) would be paid for. Just so that we could live eternally with Him! All you have to do is believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. That He is the Savior of your soul. That He is God, and that He came to save you and that He loves you so much that He paid the ultimate price just so He could have your heart. That is precious. That is true love.
      I'll be praying for you, Natalie! Trust in Jesus…He can handle all you struggles like no one else <3

  31. I’m only 15 and wanting bigger butt wider hips and toned thighs😂 im 5’3 108 pounds in trying to eat more to becuase im only a teen and you still growing. I’ve been doing my leg routine it’s the usual 1- Squats 2- inner squats 3- lunges 4- donkey kicks 5- fire hydrant and to make it more intense I just carry my 15 pound backpack lol 😂 and I’ve seen so much improvement my butt has gotten more rounder and lifted my thight you can see muscle shape when I put on my pants, also my hips are very easy to see. My waist shrunk. I’m a pear shape and I like it! I still have little hip dips but I really now truly love me body shape now also my appearance. You know people say or comment to me or talk to me that I look ugly I look weird i look scrawny yes it hurts for not even a minute 😂 because when I look at myself in the mirror even naked I think to myself All my going through pain has paid off even to see little improvement made me love myself. Really🙏 I hope one day I can prove all those people who said that wrong, that’s my motivation.

  32. Do you know long how does it take for the size to start shrinking? I have been consistently lifting for past 5 mths and am the biggest I have ever been- which is MISERABLE. I have been following a sensible diet and maintaining 1700 cals or so – as suggested by my gym. I have gone up 2 dress sizes, which is really not fun…and don’t think my mind ( or wallet) can accept another dress size up…I won’t have any clothes to wear!
    Any suggestions on what I need to jazz up? Do more cardio or cut cals? This is painful !

  33. I’m convinced the answer to this is TAKE BREAKS. I job every day, almost 1:30 hrs, and I notice only when I take a day ‘off’ (i.e. I walk at medium pace for an hour) do I actually lose significant weight. Like today, for instance, I went overboard and did the 1:30 hrs. My thighs are massive right now, hurting, swollen, etc.. and I know it was STUPID because I should have been on break. But I went overboard. I will have to now take a break tomorrow.

  34. Hi – I’m a male in my mid 30’s. I would like to say I’m in great shape. Run regularly every second day 5-9 miles, work out. Swim in the winter months. I’m noticing my thighs expanding and they feel like they’re getting larger and larger noticeable stretch marks. I can’t get into old jeans, new jeans are getting tighter and uncomfortable. Does this sound like what you’re referring to or could it be something else? Very frustrating

  35. Hi, I have a huge worry with my current body physique!!!! I’ve always been extremely skinny, but in the past 2 months, I’ve noticed that my thighs and calves have gotten bigger?!! I don’t know why- I haven’t changed much in my sports/gym routines and I hate the way I fit into jeans now. Just wondering if it is possible to regain my past leg shape, and if so, which exercises?? Because right now it seems practically impossible:(

    Reply
  36. Heyy!

    You need to lift heavy but, do much lower reps like 4-6reps! If your reps are higher than this then you will target muscle hypertrophy which is where your muscle grow! So you’re options would either be lift lighter and do high reps, so like circuits and HIIT or lift heavy to get the strength and the tone but don’t go for long reps 6+ as this will cause your muscles to grow!

    Hope this helps

  40. I have also noticed my upper thigh bulging out. I have a petite torso, and real curvy starting with love handles and all the way down to legs. Would i get bigger thighs if i squat and leg curls with weights every time i go the gym, i go 3-5 days a week? Also many atimes i just get careless with my diet and take junk food. Is that causing an adverse affect too on those bulky thighs?

  42. I’ve been roller blading for the past month or so and I’ve noticed my thighs are growing. I don’t know how since when I roller blade there is not so much pressure on my thighs. I’ve been eating normally and now my pants don’t fit. Do you know what is causing my thighs to grow? I am not sure if it is the exercise.
