Ok so I want to target getting my stomach flatter, getting rid of these wobbly bits on my hips, and toning my arms. Running is toning my thighs and bum (hopefully) - but I get soooo borrrrred doing stomach exercises. Can anybody help/give me some advice??

That's a great book. It's cuts through a lot of the myth and BS surrounding women and weight lifting, including "toning".0 -

Yes, its a real eye opener, just cuts straight to the facts and explains how women cannot suddenly turn into gladiator/jodie-marsh/juice head guidos overnight from lifting a weighteven if you use it as a guide rather than a strict plan, it's worth a read its got some clever stuff in it.
it's a great book, i would really reccomend it, it tells you how to get into doing weights. when i started following it, i didn't lose much lbs on the scale, but i dropped a dress size and a half in about 1-2 months.
p.s. you don't have any rubbishy bits, they are all lovely! :flowerforyou:0 -
If you have access to a pool try swimming. I love what it is doing for my arms and core right now. I have been swimming twice a week for about 30-50 min. I just love how relaxing it is too.0
