bicycle on a low resisitance.......don't do a high resistance or you'll build muscle and make them bigger.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as spot reduction. You can excercise a ton but if there is any excess water weight or fat on that area you will never be able to tell. If you are concerned about your weight on your legs I would suggest cutting out all sugar and caffeine from your diet as well as eating mostly unproccessed foods. Those last few pounds you drop will allow you to see the muscle tone youprobably already have. Trust me - I wanted abs so bad and a trainer told me that everyone basically has awesome abs - its just that you cannot see them if you have a higher bmi. In any case its always great to use weights just for overall strength and health - every pound of muscle a person gains burns more calories throughout the day.

First of all, you cannot 'target' fat loss. Your body gains fat where it feels like it, and removes it wear it feels like it. However, most women, thighs are a major fat storage site, so if you lose fat, no doubt some of it will be from there.



The main way to lose weight is to _eat fewer calories_. Of course this isn't the most popular advice, because nobody makes money from you eating less.



You don't want to be drastic in this because your body will burn muscle instead of fat if it thinks there is a 'famine' happening. It does this because with the muscle gone, the fat lasts longer. This is why people on yo yo diets tend to gain weight - they lose muscle, then regain even more fat because they have just screwed their metabolism.



So you need to eat a little less then you consume.



As for toning, well you can have a more shapely thigh by building up the muscle. People like to act like you can do some sort of magic 'tone' without adding muscle. You can add muscle. You can not add muscle. There's no magic 'toning'. What most people seem to advise is 'an inefficient way to add muscle'. Why not add muscle efficiently until you like what you see? You can always ease off if you decide you are too muscular, but I wouldn't worry too much about that now!



Squats/leg press are the leg muscle workers. Do a couple sets, heavy weight.

After you burn some of the fat or even while you are burning fat, try some of these exercises. They hurt, but they work. Oh, and by the way...once you burn that fat, keep in mind that people who have more fat often have a lot of muscle under that fat. Your body had to develop that muscle in order to carry the weight of the fat.



1. Lay on your side. Legs at an angle slightly in front of you. Lift the leg on top as high as you can. Point your toe on the way up and not on the way down. In other words, point and then relax as you bring your foot back down to the other foot. Do 8-10. Then do this...



2. Still laying on the same side. Bend your top leg and try to get that foot as close to your chest as possible (it will cross over the top of the other leg that is on the floor), but make sure the bottom of your foot lays flat on the floor when you get it to your chest (or waist). Hold onto that leg for support and lift the other leg up 8-10 times. You will only be able to lift it a few inches, but it will get easier as you lose fat.



Switch sides and do both exercises over again. Switch back and forth repeating the exercise a few more times. If it hurts too much, stop.



3. Lay on your back. Bend your legs as if you were getting ready to do sit-ups. Put your hands behind your head or under your butt and lift your butt (entire pelvis and hips area) up in the air (using your legs) as far as you can go. Keep your feet flat on the floor. Your butt and lower back will end up off the floor. Return to the floor and immediately repeat the move. You should feel this in your thighs and butt.



Any questions, email me. Hope all that helps. They should tone and strengthen your glutes and butt.

Music making you eat more. According to a survey by the journal Psychology and Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage you to definitely take time over your meal, so you consume more food. So, switch off – silence can make you more aware of what you’re setting up your mouth.

It’s Friday brunch time and you just can’t stop going back intended for seconds. But hang on! Stop to get a minute and suck on an extra strong mint. The flavour will put you off that finally plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

People who embark on a weight-loss journey that has a partner are 37 per cent more prone to stick with it than people that go it alone, according to a recent study from Indiana University the united states.

Put a two litre water bottle along with a glass on your desk every morning. Get through it simply by lunch, and do the same within the afternoon. You’ll exercise better in addition to recover faster if you’re hydrated. I drink some water whenever someone asks me a stupid question or sends a stupid email... find something that works to suit your needs!

Chewing your food thoroughly is not going to make digestion easier, but will allow your body time to recognise only when it's actually full, thus preventing eating too much.

There's no way to do it really fast. CARDIO, CARDIO, CARDIO. After you think you can't do anymore cardio, do some more. You have to burn fat for anything to become "toned." You can't spot reduce and your things will not become more toned until you lower the amount of fat on your body. Period.

Lots of cardio including treadmill, eliptical (if you do not have access to these machines, walk. Try interval training walk for a minute, run for a minute. Do squats (no weights as many as you can till you feel the burn

I would say walking is the best answer. Do it fast as you can w/o giving out.
