Hello there!

I just recently got back into working out and I'm trying to find a routine that won't bore me to death. I'm 5'1 and about 120lbs, but I'm looking to loose some flub in my thighs and stomach. I have been lifting free-weights about 10lbs. each and do different forms of squats and lunges. Any other suggestions to get myself jumpstarted on a motivating routine?

Thanks a bunch :)

    there is no such thing as ''toning'' It's called muscles

    Lifting heavy (ie, dropping the pink dumbells) will get you that ''toned'' look you want.
    10lbs won't do you any good, hun

    I suggest looking into programs like Starting Strenght, New Rules of lifting or Stronglifts

    Toning = lose bodyfat

    Okay?

    Now go forth unto the internet with this mindblowing revelation and discover the benefits of exercise beyond ridiculous squat challenges and waving paperweights around your living room.

    Find something challenging; weight lifting, calisthenetics, yoga or whatever -- something with progression -- and stick to it.

    I'm petite as well - 5'2" currently 125lbs (though my goal is about 115). I carry all of my weight in my hips and thighs and for me is the hardest part to tone up. I have found the best results with weight training. I do Les Mills BodyPump twice a week, but since that isn't really "heavy" lifting, I have also added 2 days of heavier lifting with squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, etc.
