ive lost about 12 lbs since xmas and i am on the last 3 lbs to get to my goal weight of 8st (112lbs) but im still wobbly and have no definition, i know you cant spot reduce but just wondered what exercises you could suggest for a firmer stomach, toned legs and arms, and is there any way to get rid of love handles? i have a bad knee so squats and anything high impact are out of the question. thanks xx

    "Toning" is not a meaningful term really. Strength and build muscles with resistance training and continue to slowly lower your bodyfat percentage. Those shapely muscles will appear and you will look toned. :-)
    Abs: Planks, crunches, sit ups, side bends with weight
    Arms: Bicep curls, triceps extensions, bench press, push ups, shoulder press
    Legs: a bit more difficult. What CAN you do?
