You can't spot reduce. Eat less, get some exercise, lift some weights, be patient.

Ladies, read what Jacksonpt wrote. Otherwise you're wasting your time.

Also, a great book to get you up to speed and far from the bull**** is New Rules of Lifting for Women. It's 100% worth the money.

•Progressive overload - You will increase in strength and muscle size if you progressively increase the intensity of your workouts.



•Decrease body fat - Through dietary manipulation and exercise, you can decrease your body fat and increase your lean muscle mass, which will lead to that "toned" look everybody wants.



•Periodization - All muscle groups should be periodized. No muscle groups should be trained everyday or even every other day. 2-3 times per week, for advanced bodybuilders, is enough.

I have heard that back of the arm fat, and the back of the butt/thigh fat can be attributed to high estrogen making them more difficult to get rid of. Anyone else heard that?

Only reducing your body fat will do it..unfortunately

No body part should be hit every other day? huh? The anabolic benefits of an exercise last for only about 48 hours. hitting something twice a week with at least a day inbetween is perfectly fine.

it was an article i pulled up.

I don't agree with the every second day part.

but in her situation, if she's training properly she should be too sore to train every second day.

meh- I do legs 2-3 times a week.

I change the TYPE of leg workouts I do- but it isn't uncommon to see 2 different squat days and a dead lift day.. or a bear complex day- or a clean/press day in conjunction with another major lift.

I rest as I need it and space things out- but I do a LOT of legs.. my upper body just can't take the beating- maybe 2 times- split back/chest-ish. I'm not following a program- so it very much boils down to what I'm feeling like doing and if I run into a friend who lifts like I do- b/c then I just lift with him- whatever he is doing- which could be similar to what I did the day before- although obviously I try to avoid that.

I am truely not trying to harp on you, and I can tell you're trying to help, but the severity of soreness goes away with time/conditioning, and has nothing to do with how hard or effectively you worked.
