If you’re someone who has always had big thighs, you would know the importance of a thigh gap.
A thigh gap is the clear space right under your crotch and in between your middle and upper thighs.
A small gap within your thighs is an ultimate symbol of a well-toned female body according to most media today.
It appears that in order to have a minimum thigh gap, your thighs should be totally devoid of fat.
However, as every woman knows, the inner thighs are outrageously difficult to curb fat and hence for all dieting women, inner thighs remain the Mount Everest of their body.
Debunking a few myths on thigh gaps
The extent to which some girls have gone in order to try and bring that gap in between both thighs has made it an extremely controversial topic.
This has raised a bunch drama around the thigh gap... so what are the few myths and facts surrounding this topic?
Myth #1: Anyone can easily get a thigh gap like the supermodels
Under optimal situations, the female bone structure and the way in which the femur bone is spread out naturally forms a thigh gap.
Since every woman is different, there are some who can never ever achieve a slight gap in between their thighs, no matter how much toned and thin their thighs are.
This is simply a matter of bone structure and it is okay if you have a body type that doesn't allow for a thigh gap.
While the majority of women can obtain a thigh gap with enough dedication, it may not be healthy.
It requires low body fat percentages that many people cannot maintain.
And always remember: even if your bone structure doesn't allow the gap, there are still many other benefits to remaining healthy and fit.
Myth #2: You require being skinny like a supermodel to get a thigh gap
The absence or appearance of a gap within thighs is usually due to a layer of fat within your inner thighs.
The less fat that you have, the more likely you are to have a gap.
This automatically means that the skinnier you are, the easier it will be for you to get that gap in between thighs.
But again, as every woman is shaped differently, the structure of your body plays a big role in deciding the gap that you can have.
Myth #3: You can’t build leg muscles if you want a gap
Unless you’re working out like a man with heavy weights and doing squats with 225lbs, plus eating enough to put on tons of muscle, it’s pretty unlikely that you will get quads which block the thigh gap.
Nevertheless, if you still want to do leg exercises with weights to ensure that you have streamlined legs, you have to ensure that you stick to lower weights to create strong, but lean, muscles.
Best exercises to help you get the much-desired thigh gap
Though it is true that losing those extra pounds through a proper schedule of diet and exercise is the best way in which you can get a thigh gap, yet there are 5 exercises which can speed up the long-muscle building process.
1. Pile squats
2. Pilates leg lifts
3. Bridge raises
4. Inner leg lift
5. Lateral lunge
Once you keep doing these exercises daily, along with proper diet, you will be able to accomplish your dream of having a gap in between your thighs and feel like a supermodel (assuming, again, that your bone structure allows it).
