    Work on your posterior chain and hope for the best??

    Also, when people say strength training on here, most (not all) mean lifting weights.

    Hi guys!
    So I'm 147 pounds i was 154 beginning of January!
    I only started jogging around a month and half a go. Was wondering how will i get a flat stomach and toned legs (theigh gap) by August? I have seen a reall big difference alreayd bu thow will i shed pounds quicker?
    If anyone has any tips and tricks please comment!

    Great progress so far! It sounds like if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll lose enough weight to look more the way you want to. Just make sure you're still in a healthy weight range. :) The thigh gap is, I think, not the most realistic of accomplishments when staying healthy. I think fit, healthy people often have some space between their middle thighs, but the "gap" up near your groin I've only ever seen on unhealthy (IMO), super thin individuals. So I wouldn't recommend trying for that!

    That said, I've been surprised that I do indeed have some space between my middle thighs now-- and have since I had lost only about 5 lbs. For me, weight seems to come off my legs and upper body fastest, and to some extent you'll only be able to lose weight in specific places in the pattern your body wants to lose from first. But I do think that my use of leg-heavy exercises like running, riding a bike, and doing weight/circuit training workouts including lots of squats (probably close to 100 squats per session overall, or more) has helped build up my leg muscles some and definitely contributed to changing the shape of my legs for the better!

    As for the flat tummy, well, again it's a matter of where your body decides to let go of the fat first, Tummy is usually the last place to lose fat for us women, but lots of people here seem to have had great success with heavy lifting in that regard.
