I was just wondering any exercises I can do that will make my *kitten* bigger other than squats/lunges? I have really crappy knees so I can't do them that long. I also want to get a flatter stomach, the sides and the lower stomach particularly. Any tips?

    you can do squats and lunges with weights in your hands. I suggest 10 in each hand. If you want to grow the muscle you really have to lift heavy.
    To flatten the stomach, the best thing is running.
    Hope that helps!

    bicyle crunches work lower and middle of the abs.
    side crunches, laying on back reach your arms to the outside of your inner calves, going from right to left, do not slide your back on the floor..
    hip hop abs- roll your shoulders forward in a standing position, push your tail bone towards your abdomen. repeat as many times as you can. making sure to breath...

    follow @cocosworld on twitter! lol JK lots of sit ups, planks, leg raises, leg holds, balance - thats all core. As for your butt...ask Sir Mix A Lot...Just kidding. Squats and lunges would be my best bet for a booty work out :)

    haha I actually have this and consider it a problem....30 inch waist and 47 inch hips.... so Ab Ripper X by Tony Horton is AMAZING!!! try yoga, warrior 1 and 2, sun salutations, bridge, boat, and bow

    Also stretch out well before and after, drink a protien shake after every workout to help build new muscle....


    Anyone with any tips on getting a smaller *kitten* let me know....

    You know I have been doing Zumba Wii for about 5 weeks now, and am very pleased with what it's doing for my butt. I can actually say I have one now. I have also noticed the beginnings of definition in my stomach, I still have some fat to loose before I will be where I can have much definition, but it's definitely working my abs. I just started doing my Core Secret Ab Assault workout too, which I did before and it was fantastic for my abs. Lots of different types of crunches, getting all the parts of your abs and obliques.

    In the past with squats and lunges I also would climb stairs two at a time to help with my butt. I don't need a huge one or nothing, I just want to look somewhat proportionate. lol

    I am striving for the same thing. I know just what you mean. It's not so much you want a huge *kitten*, you want a nice plump shapely one with flat abs, and that is SEXY. I say do lots of bicycle crunches, the stairmaster will be your best friend, and also that excercise where you have to lift your legs while standing, well I'm not sure what it's called, but I will get back to you on it. LOL YOU CAN DO IT!!!

    Definitly cardio to help burn the flub that is covering up your amazing abs (well, "your" generally... not specifically...LOL). As for toning those ab muscles, try out a few of these "non-traditional" ab moves that I've grown to love!

    - Get those resistance bands!! While standing, stand in the middle of the band with the right foot, and raise both handles in your right hand behind your right shoulder. Then tuck and tighten to the right for 12-16 reps. Do the same for the left side too.

    - With those same resistance bands, stand with one foot in front of the other (a comfortable stance) with the middle of the resistance band under your back foot. Bring the handles of the bands behind your head using both hands. Tuck and tighten forward.

    - Crunches with weights. Hold a set of weights (I use 10-pounds) in front of your chest while lying down. Then sit up to a 45-degree angle. Then reach the weights/arms out in front of you, then bring the weight up near your forehead (all while sitting in that 45-degree angle). Leaving the weight in front of your forehead, slowly lie back down.

    as mentioned above, cardio to shred the fat so you can see what muscle you have......cycling is a great exercise for cardio as well as building mucle in the legs and glutes. if you take an indoor cycling class, make sure you work your legs correctly, getting a full leg routine with each pedal. imagine your feet going around like the hands of a clock....between 1:00-5:00 you are pushing down using quads, 5:00-7:00 your calf muscles kick in, 7:00-11:00 you must pull up on your pedals using hamstring, when your foot is at the stop between 11:00-1;00 your glutes kick in. most ppl only push down when they are new at cycling, causing quads to burn out quick. use full leg with every stride. dont be afraid to put some tension on that bike once you have built your endurance and good form. your instructor will help you if you need, please ask, they are happy to help you and make sure you enjoy your ride.
