    Hey all,

    So I have just started running and i am loving it so far. I have a holiday in 5 months time and so i want to really get rid of the flab on my thighs and tone up and try and get rid of the dreaded cellulite.

    I read that lunges and/or squatts are best for this?! So should i do both or is one better than the other? and how often should i do? i am running 6 days a week with 1 rest day.

    thanks! xxx

    I do both.

    Do them both!

    ^ This and also throw in some deadlifts and/or Stiff legged deadlifts, with as much weight as you can handle with good form for 5-8 reps.

    Yup, both.

    - Squats keep heavy, 3 to 5 reps at most
    - Lunges and RDL's sets of 8-10 reps
