As you can see in my profile pic, I have those darn rolls in the midsection area.
Does anyone know if some good exercises to whittle them away?
Also, what's the best exercise to get rid of " thunder thighs"?

Thanks

    You can't spot reduce. Both of them will reduce as you reduce overall BF%

    Eat at a deficit and eventually they will melt.

    No matter how much you try to target those areas with exercise it all come down to the calorie deficit

    There are no exercises to get rid of fat, just calorie deficit. You exercise to keep your body healthy (and to have some muscle definition when the fat is gone)

    Thank you. I have been following MFP for 85 days and exercising 4-5 times a week. Just was wondering if there was anything else to help in the process or if there were additional exercises that would assist. I will keep plugging on :)

    table push aways and fork put downs and a healthy dose of consistent patience.


    best things you can do for yourself really in that department.

    What is your exercise routine? What do you do for strength training?

    I have been doing a strength training program set up by a trainer at the gym. It is 6 different workouts (Incline pull, incline press, abs, back, biceps and legs ).
    I have also been doing the 30 Day Shred (though I have missed the past 2 days).

    I am doing the Zen Labs 10km training program (on my Ipod) right now I am on Day 3 of Week 4.

    Thanks for everyone\s respomses
