Hi all, I am looking for some tips and
advice. First off I am 23 yrs old and
5'10 and right now 153lbs. Normal for my
height. I'm not looking to see the pounds
to go down so much as I am just wanting to
lose the fat on my inner thighs and
stomach. It's not alot at all just enough
to aggravate me. I don't have alot of
weight to lose, just need to firm it all
up. And the reason why I say 4 months, my
husband leaves on a 4month deployment next
week so starting when he leaves I plan to
work out more to look awesome by the time
he comes back. And with me being the only
one at home it should be easy. I eat
healthy and i've lost 20lbs alone doing
that in 3 months. Has anyone got a good
routine to do for tummy and thighs?My plan
is to get up in the mornings and go
running, lift weights during lunch and at
night do some cardio as well as squats,
lunges, etc. Any advice would be great
thanks!!!

You Can Do It! Posted: 06-17-05 13:50pm
I'm no weight trainer but if you type in
"exercise to lose weight in the tummy and
thigh" in google or any health site, I am
sure you would get many efficient answers
from weight trainers and stuff.
Sorry I couldn't give you too much advice
but I just wanted to say you can do it!
Never lose faith in yourself and never
settle for less than your best.
Remember your goals, work towards them and
celebrate along the way. Don't beat
yourself up if you miss one day, just try
harder. Congratulate yourself on
success!
I am sure your husband will be pleasantly
surprised when he sees the results...Take
care and the very best you.
Keep posting on how you're doing..You
might even find answers to your question
on some other posts on the forums... :)
sorry this is so long, thanks for taking
the time to read this!

Good for you for setting such great goals
for yourself!!
Your husband must love such wonderful
surprises when he comes home lol
i too am hoping to lose weight and gain
muscle, not for anyone really, but just
for me. I have poor self esteem and im
hoping to heal the inside by trying to
like what I see on the outside ....Its a
place to start for me.
I have been trying to exercise as well and
eat healthier and I really enjoy the ol
tried and true exercises. My favs are:
inner thighs: lie on your left side, hand
supporting your head, and put your right
leg on the floor (bottom of your foot
solid) in front of your left leg. Now
raise and lower the left leg (which is
kinda now underneath the right one) and do
reps like this before switching legs. I
hope that was understandable lol...It
works great
tummy: I like to do normal crunches,
however to make it a lil bit more
challenging, try holding a 3-5 lb weight
behind your head while doing so. Hold the
dumbell vertically at one end and crunch
as normal. It adds a little bit of
resistance that seems to work.
Hope it helps!
Let me know if you have any routines that
you find particuarly useful =)

How many meals you eating now?
What kind of food your eating?
Are you weight training? And amount of
cardio?

Good goals to have.
First off, no need to target your thighs
and tummy, naturally this is where you fat
reserves are (your bum too.), so when you
lose weight this is the first place you
will shed it from.
Simple steps:
1 - continue your healthy eating, you're
dropping weight.. No need to change your
routine. I don't even need to know what
your meals are like right now. If it
works, go with it.
2 - cardio in the mornings on an empty
stomach, mild cardio... Don't push too
hard otherwise your body won't have enough
time to break down fat for energy and you
will begin to feel faint.
3 - no heavy or sugary meals 2-3 hours
before bed time.
Those are the basics, follow that for the
first month and report back on your weight
loss results, at that point will have lost
that excess fat, but you'd still be
soft... At this point we can introduce
some weight training to tone your body and
firm up.
