    @jrs1008
    To work on my legs, my trainer has me do lunges (3 sets of 10 steps with two 20lb dumbells), and also he has me do a lot of squats (one legged with my toe pointed forward holding on to a rope type thingy - 3 sets of 12 of those). I have noticed that my 'butt' has almost completely disappeared except for muscle and my calves are really toned and my thighs are almost fat free! Good luck to you - and I hope this helps a little bit!:flowerforyou:

    i have a hard time with squats will my knees build up to it as i go?

    I have bad knees, and squats actually made them stronger...Just make sure you keep your knees behind your toes at all times, stick your butt (tailbone) out as far as you can and lean back on your heels.... It helps if you use dumbells in your hands and not on your shoulders - almost like a counter balance....

    i cant seem to stay under my protein levels. Is it ok to go over? my daily goal is 46.


    46 should not be your goal unless you are like 60 pounds.

    Try to aim for about 0.8-1.0 gram of protein per LBM (Lean Body Mass)

    So for example, I'm currently 188lbs with a LBM of around 160...so I aim for 160g of protein per day.

    I eat about 150g protein a day. Which is about 1g protein per lbm. As for your my work out I'm on a 3 day split: Monday is chest/triceps day, Wednesday is leg/shoulders, Friday is back/bicep. Sunday is an optional day to get some hiit in. I also do about 10 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of either yoga or palates a day. If you'd like to use my work out as a starter/guideline:
