I'm obviously eating very healthy and I'll have a cheat meal once a week only. The main thing I want to change about my body is maybe drop a little weight since I don't have much to lose. I plan to tone my thighs because their flappy and they have strech marks so I want them tight and I'll be toning my but too.
This is my workout for everyday,
Walk beyond a mile in my community every morning and the next day do Butt and Thigh workouts in my house. So for example this day go walking and the next day do my leg workout. Basically one day walk and the next the leg workouts.
What do you think? What's your honest opinion and of course eating healthy.
For my thigh stretch marks I'm applying coco butter so that's going to help.
Tomorrow I'm starting my leg workout in the morning for the first time and I'm excited. I've been walking everyday so far since Tuesday and I've been eating very healthy.:bigsmile:

exercise does not have the capacity to lose fat. and for sure does not allow you to target fat loss to a specific area..
you will need to reevaluate your goals. your current template is not adequate.
do you want to lose fat, or gain muscle? start there.0 -
The only way to "tone" your thighs is to lose fat over your whole body, thigh exercises won't help. Full body resistance training and a small, gradual caloric deficit is what you want.0

I think what Im doing is perfectly fine. I've lost weight before and it made my thighs even more flappy so your wrong. Walking tones your legs because your working your legs when your walking and me doing the exercises for my legs will work. I've spoken to people about my thighs and they say do squats or lunges which is exactly what I'll be doing. I'm exercising so I'm sure I'll get the legs I want. I'm also eating healthy and my caloric deficit is fine. Thanks for your opinion but I know what I'm doing,0 -

If exercise didn't lose fat then everybody would be fat and not skinny so your wrong, I'm not trying to lose weight in any certain area, I'm just trying to get fit and healthy. I've been on diets before so I know what I'm doing.0 -

^^ You cant just post what you are going to do and ask people 'what do you think?' and then get defensive when someone gives you their honest opinion... btw, you cant get rid of stretch marks with cocoa butter, it is good for the skin but wont erase them.0 -

I'm not getting defensive. I read what they said and I said thank you for your opinion. I'm not going to stop my workout just because somebody thinks a different way. And of course coco butter won't but I use one medically which is to fade them away.0 -
so your asking for peoples opinion and then your telling them that they are wrong?? you shouldnt have asked the question then and continued what your doing if its working for you0

Don't you want to tone your arms or upper body at all? I understand that your areas of concern are primarily your legs, but you would benefit a lot from other compound exercises that will strengthen your core and upper body as well. And FYI, when I started 3 years ago, all I did was walking, running, and Kendra Wikinson's butt and thigh workout, and my thighs and butt nver tightened up until I started doing compound heavy lifting-- Just my experience!
Good luck! :flowerforyou:0 -

Of course I want to tone my arms that's why I'm speed walking everyday.
To be honest I can't afford a gym to do heavy lifting so I think I'll stink to what I'm doing, everything is different for people. 0 -

Well I think that what you are doing is a good place to start. But not having agym doesn't mean that you can't do a lot for your upper body!
When you are ready, look into "you are your own gym" (theres an app for it) It is all bodyweight exercises, no equipment required!0 -

If you think what you are doing is "perfectly fine" and are going to tell people who disagree with you that they are wrong, then why bother posting at all? You ASKED for opinions. If you don't really want them, why go through the trouble of asking?
Just keep doing what you are doing since it is quite obvious that you know better than any of the rest of us and won't change what you're doing anyway.0 -

I'm asking because I want to ask. It's not that serious for you to be giving me a lecture. I know.0 -
You think that was a lecture? Thanks, I needed a good laugh. :laugh:
The point is, opinions were given as you asked, then you proceeded to tell them they were wrong. It's obvious you've already made up your mind which makes it silly to ask for other people's opinions.0 -

First of all its that even that serious for you to be telling me what I'm doing wrong. I read what they said and I said thank you for your opinion, I also have an opinion too and I can say what I want because its my topic that I posted. Just because somebody thinks differently of my workout doesn't mean I'm going to stop, I obviously saw and read what they said so obviously I know and if I think somebody is wrong I will point that out,0 -

^^ That is exactly what I was thinking as well..0 -
My honest opinion is that all exercise is good exercise
You may get more muscles in your thighs and legs, however unless you lose weight they will still be covered with a layer of fat. What kind of exercises for your legs and butt will you be doing?0 -

A mile walk is about 20 minutes at 3.0 miles an hour. Less time if you walk faster. At your age, it's probably fine for some exercise. As for it "toning" thighs, it that were true, then people (like walking mail people) should have super fit thighs and unfortunately they don't. Walking is a daily movement so don't count on that "toning" up your thighs. To do that you need to use resistance that forces them to work and contract harder.

Learn how to do a pistol squat for starters. You'll probably need a wall or chair for balance starting out. Unilateral leg training can work with just bodyweight.A mile walk is about 20 minutes at 3.0 miles an hour. Less time if you walk faster. At your age, it's probably fine for some exercise.

I'll 2nd this! - In the summer I walk the 2miles to work, & generally take my dogs out for walks varying between 2-7 miles. This includes some steep (ish) trails. I feel qualified to say neither my thighs or my *kitten* have improved from this :noway:0 -
Im surprised no one mentioned that sooner. You cant tone your arms by walking. :noway:
Push ups, body weight squats, lunges all will help if you cant get to a gym currently.
Quit making excuses for not getting to a gym. If getting healthy is important, youll find the time and money.0 -
