I am 5,2 and 104lbs but my body feels so untoned! I need to get rid of the muffin top and wobbly thighs. Anyone else in the same boat? What exercises have worked for you?

    I'm the poster girl for skinny fat!! I just started a weight lifting program and I can already tell a difference after only one week! I'm following Jamie Eason's livefit program. I literally printed everything and put in a binder and take it the gym because I have never used free weights before and have to teach myself lol I highly recommend it!

    This is simple and working well for me - just make sure you use weights as big as you can manage to get the muscles working.

    Do it three times a week with a rest day between each. I also run and hike, just for good measure, but for changing the shape of your body weights are the best.

    Thanks so much!! Just joined the gym to start doing some lifting and toning. I was only doing elliptical at home and zumba classes till now. Hopefully that will help!

    I'm in the same boat! I can totally relate! I'm thin, but out of shape and I've always had a little pouch. I've been doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. She does a lot of strength training, which is good for toning, but also incorporates cardio, so we're burning fat. I love that it's 20 minutes. I did level 1 for a few days, but got bored with it. Level 2 is much harder but it focuses more on abs and legs, which is what I want more toned.

    Did you decide what you were going to do?
