Im having an issue toning up butt and thigh jiggle. I have 2 months before my husband comes home and i gotta get it done. I have a 6 pack and everything above my waist is toned-no love handles at all. I eat healthy. But I need to start running or doing something for lower body. Ideas??

    lots of squats, lunges and plyos. The jiggle is fat so lots of cardio for caloric burn and of course watch your meals

    I noticed a serious change in my legs with squats and lunges. I was swapping between Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD and Jillian Michaels 30DS level 2. There are so many leg workouts between those two that I can actually do lunges now with my back knee practically hitting the ground. When I first started, I could barely do 8 in a row the easy way. And my cellulite is hardly noticeable, I actually have to squeeze my leg to see it, where before this, I could just stand up and you could see some.

    I do all of my cardio on the elliptical, and that seems to be making a huge difference for me. Good luck, and happy hubby-reunion!

    hmm, I'd think some lunges and some bicycling would help.

    Calisthenics.....plyometrics.....eating right.....I do a calisthenic routine found in fitness magazine and thighs dont rub together anymore when I walk! and they continue to improve. When your body gets used to it, find a new routine. I also do a lot of walking everywhere, constantly using my legs....

    Heavy squats! Load up that olympic bar and squat "*kitten* to grass" ;) Okay, well start off small if you've never done it before-- but you'll work your way up fast!

    Deadlifts are also helpful in working the leg muscles.

    I've noticed my butt seriously perking up since I started squatting heavy a few months ago. Didn't see ANY results from running alone... if anything it got flatter for awhile. My thighs are toning up as well, actually showing muscle definition, and they've always been a trouble spot for me. Give it a shot!

    The Firm video series is Awesome!! (www.firmdirect.com) It combines aerobics/weights/lower body exercises. They guarantee visible results in 10 workouts!! My favourites are: Get Chisle'd, High Def Sculpt, 500 calorie workout (which I usually burn 600+), Burn and Shape, Total Body Time Crunch. I've been using them since I was 19 (14+ years - yikes!!) and I've tried other videos, but I keep coming back to them :smile:

    The kickboxing and step fitness class I go to have helped with mine! They incorporate lots of lunges, squats and kicks! My thighs have toned up so much in the past 3 months! I love them! Good luck!

    I do lunges, regular, side lunges (criss cross ones), walking lunges, and ones while holding a 5lbs weight. I also do those donkey kicks I think they are called, and some ballet type moves. Shape magazine website has a great thigh and bum work out
