    I'd say you need to include some strength training.

    I've been doing New Rules of Lifting for Women and am seeing great results.

    Is this a video?

    It's a book.

    It gives you a structured strength workout of, I think 7 or 8 stages whch should take about a month each to complete, so you never get bored.
    I bought mine off Amazon, but if you google you should find it.

    :flowerforyou: Thank You! I will Look it up NOW!

    the best 10 $ I ever spent

    It's $7.98 on Amazon! Ordering

    cycling for your legs, or squats alone , hand wieghts for your arms , but you have to keep this up if you want results, anything resistance will tone you up.

    :flowerforyou: Very True! Being consistent = Results! Thank you!

    OK, I took Forza training at my gym to really help with strength training, as more muscle will burn fat. As I've done more of that, my metabolism has shot up. I do weights 3 times weekly hitting all body parts and 1 hr. of cardio a day. Exercise biking and swimming would be good for you (low impact). I combine that with BRISK walking (4.4 mph). Good luck!! :happy:

    You can do cardio until the cows come home....if you don't incorporate weights and a sound clean diet, you won't get your desired results.
    Excessive cardio is not the answer. :)

    :flowerforyou: Thank You

    You're welcome...after reading it again, very vague sorry.

    I have big thighs and the only thing that worked and I have tried everything, (including bodybuilding and nutrition with a personal trainer) P90X hybrided with Brazil Butt Lift, really helped and then some Insanity and Asylum. Those are all probably too intense for you right now. I suggest you start with P90 and work your way up. All the workouts come with a good nutritional guideline.

    Your diet is 80% of the equation, if you don't lose bodyfat all the exercise in the world won't make much of a difference.

    This absolutely! Cardio won't help honey it's a really common misconception. You should cut down the cardio and up the weight training. I am sure Victoria2448? and of course I would love to help you with getting a programme together. This would also be less stress on you foot, because you can start with machines. There are certain things everyone thinks; like if I intake very few calories I'll lose a stack load of fat, and if I do shed loads of cardio I'll get lean and if I do exercises like 100 star jumps I will build muscle. The truth is; if you intake very few calories you will lose fat yes, but you will also lose muscle which will make you a smaller wobblier version of yourself. Doing shed loads of cardio will only make you fitter, as will 100 star jumps. If you want a lean, healthy, tight bikini body you need good nutrition and weight all the way baby!!!!

    Good Luck!! :)

    Lift heavy, maintain caloric deficit since you can't spot reduce, but the lifting will help improve body composition as you lose fat

    BCAAs may limit/prevent lean muscle loss while dieting but it won't do anything to increase weight loss.

    Try running (and high knees, kick outs, side stepping, etc) in the pool. You will get a good cardio workout, and the water provides constant full body resistance and the buoyancy makes it super low impact on the joints/injuries.

    To gain alot of muscle you have to train 6 hours a day and take ''supplements'' you are lacking testosterone to build big muscles
