    Mine are hard, and they touch :D I've been working on getting them hard, and the pain is definitely paying off.

    Yes/No machine is great :) I do other isolation work on them, too (I can't do squats). Mine take extra work to get as firm as I like, but they get there. Just beat them up if that's what you are after, lol. Lift as heavy as you can for them, imho.

    Love this! What is this yes/no machine? My knees aren't good. I've been fighting bursitis, and also have tilted kneecaps that cause issues. What other work are you doing on them? I'd love to know.

    LOL, it's the adductor/abductor leg machine at the gym :D Open/close ;)

    The others I do are this one with weight (8-12 reps):

    The yes/no machine does the same thing.


    Then the others are from ballet and are compound
    (I do them weighted instead of high reps):
    -- Floor barre Grande Battement (to the front, with leg turned out). Done slowly, not fast.
    -- Standing grande battements and Attitudes to the front

    Developpes (again, to the front and turned out) also rock, but that adds in a ton of hip flexor involvement, so keep that in mind. Don't weight those at first at all. They are rough enough, lol.

    Don't do the plies you might see on the standing leg for any of those if you have knee issues. I just pretty much stand on my standing leg and concentrate on the working leg. Don't drop your hips or anything, though. Stand with good form; you just don't need turnout on the standing leg if you don't want to. The turnout on the working leg is important to hit the inner thigh in this case.

    easy there tiger. you've been working out for a month and a half and you still have 40+ pounds to get to goal weight. let's just stay on course for a bit longer before we try to figure out how to change specific body parts

    That is so completely and utterly rude, did it not occur to you that people may have been around for longer than you think? Not everyone has been overweight all of their lives.

    Rude? Maybe, but whatever.

    But I have no idea what you're specifically objecting to. Where did I make assumptions about how long she's been around or how long she's been overweight? Are we reading the same thread?
