Okay: I am shaped like Barney (yes the purple dinosaur). My legs are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G (minus a little inner thigh jiggle). But random people have stopped me in places like Walmart and asked me what I do to get such definition on my legs.
My arms? Well, I meet with a trainer twice a week and since starting that in Feb they are becoming less jiggly. It is a long, slow process, but I can see changes happening. He also has me doing some planks. Not all the time, but I would say every other week he devotes part of our work out to planks.
I run four days a week, different distances an speeds. Sometimes outsie, sometimes inside (and when running outside I typically run in hillier parts of town).
My problem area for sure is my stomach. While I know you can't spot reduce, I am hoping for some ideas to incorporate that might tone it a bit. Any pointers?

You can't spot reduce, but you can shape and tone the muscles in your tummy.
Find an excercise video that concentrates on your tummy like Ab Ripper.
I've found Jillian Michaels 30 DS has helped tighten my belly.
Its really a question of working all of the ab muscles.
Good Luck!0 -
Aww I'm disappointed no photos of these incredible legs in your profile0
