Unfortunately "spot-reducing" exercises don't work. If they did, then everyone who chewed gum would have a skinny face. Doing hip and thigh exercises will not take the fat off of them. Hundreds of crunches will only help tighten and strengthen your core, not flatten the fat.
The fact is, stomach and thigh exercises (and their related machines) are not aerobic or fat burning exercises. That's because they fail to meet one essential requirement. The activities do not last for more than three minutes in continuous duration. Therefore, the exercise remains anaerobic. The burning sensation is not fat being burned or "melted away." Instead, it's the muscles storage of lactic acid as glycogen (not fat) that has been used for energy during anaerobic metabolism.
