Thighs, bum and tum help!

I agree that there's no working out to specifically reduce fat in these areas. Unfortunately, these are the most common location for women to gain fat, so a reduction in overall body fat is required.

In addition, I don't think there's any amount of training that will have REAL results in only a few weeks.


That being said, I know that some women (especially beginners) seem to get great results with daily exercise programs like: Bodyrock TV, Zuzka TV, 30 day shred (Jillian Micheals), or Fitness Blender; all of which are available on youtube for free.

False. The only way to make an area "look more muscular" is to work the muscles in that area. Muscles only grow larger or stronger when they are worked. A muscle that is not worked will not change. However, if those muscles are covered by a layer of fat, you won't be able to see the larger/stronger muscles.

I believe you mean there's no such thing as spot reducing fat. You cannot target a specific place to lose fat. You can only lose it all over or where your body has decided it will come off first.

Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to make sure OP has the most accurate information.

OP: if you're interested in being smaller in those areas, a calorie deficit will be the best way to achieve that. Overall fat loss will make you smaller all over. If you're looking to make those areas stronger/more shapely, I would suggest strength training. Specifically the Strong Curves program, which is written for women who want to grow a killer booty.

Of course, as the others have said, you will not get any dramatic changes in "a few weeks." But you can start moving in the right direction. You will be that much closer to your goal body & maybe for a later event will look exactly how you want. As always, this lifestyle is a marathon, not a sprint. Good luck!
