These effective ways will help you prevent thigh chafing

Those who have a leaner built may not even know the pain but people who have inner thigh fat can well connect to this issue. Inner thigh chafing is painful, sometimes so unbearable that it may cause difficulty in walking. The chances are that you may suffer from thigh chafing mostly in summers due to hot weather and extreme sweating. So, here is how you can control thigh chafing.

EXERCISE TO BURN INNER THIGH FAT: Until and unless you will not work on fat burn, you won’t be able to fully prevent thigh rub. There are various exercises that can help you reduce thigh fat, such as:

GATE SWINGS: Stand on one leg and place your arms behind your forehead. Swing the other leg from left to right and move it back and forth five times. Come back into the starting position and stand on the other leg and follow the same instructions. Repeat 10 times back and forth.

SIDE LUNGE SWEEP: Stand with your feet together and keep your hands on your waist. Now, take a wide step out to your left side with the left leg and lower into a lunge. You should bend your left knee and push your hips behind you. Push through your left heel, stand back up and cross your left leg in front of your body. Make sure it doesn't touch the floor. Swing your leg back out to the left side and repeat. You can do 15 reps with each leg.

THIGH LIFT: Lie on the floor on your right side with your right elbow bent below your shoulder. Keep your left hand behind your head and extend both legs out. Now, bend your left knee up to the ceiling and place your left foot on the inside of your right knee. Lift your right leg slightly off the floor. Your right foot should be flexed. Switch side and follow the same instructions. You can do 10 reps for each leg.

SIDE PLANK LIFT: Lie on your right side and lift your upper body on your right extended arm. Your right palm should be flat on the floor. Extend your right leg straight out and point your toes. Now, bend your left knee and step your left foot flat on the floor just behind your right leg. The position should be such that your hips stay stacked on top of each other in your plank position. Now, shift your weight onto your left leg. Squeeze your thighs together as you lift your right leg up to meet your left knee. Hold for 10 seconds and slowly come back to the start position. Do 10 reps with each leg.

WEAR GARTERS: Garters are perfect when you wear a short dress. This prevents thigh rubbing and you can walk easily, without any pain.

USE TALCUM: Another way to get rid of thigh chafing is using talcum powder. It smoothens skin and prevents thigh rubbing. This method may not work for a longer duration, so if you are planning to stay outside for a longer time, carry a talcum bottle along.
