    I like to use butt sucks. I stand there and clinch my cheeks, about 1-2000 reps. I feel this has greatly helped me

    .....


    Too easy. Carry on.

    Run run run!!!!

    Your butt and legs will look great! And you burn loads of calories doing it.

    C25k is a great program to start with.

    As Arnold says " up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down,up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down,up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down,up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down,up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down"

    Oh, come on...Stop whining! You kids are soft. You lack discipline. Well, I've got news for you. You are mine now! You belong to me! No more complaining. No more "Mr. Kimble, I have to go the bathroom". Nothing! There is no bathroom!!!

    T-Tapp. It's a system of DVDs done at home with no equipment other than a good pair of shoes. You can check it out at t-tapp.com - I highly recommend starting at the "Try Before You Buy" section, and doing those exercises for a week and see how many inches you lose.

    T-Tapp taught me an incredible amount about body mechanics, alignment and form. It's made everything else I do much more effective... everything from basic calisthenics to yoga to dance to just how I hold my body as I load the dishwasher or brush my teeth!

    Picking heavy things up and putting them down. Full body calisthenics circuits. Jumping rope for cardio.




    LOL, have you ever seen the commercial for planet fitness:

    The BIG dude that says: "I pick things up and put them dowuuuuun" LOL

    U just reminded me of him!
    :laugh:


    I pick things up and put them down too ..... works like a charm :wink:

    I agree with the butt sucks. My butt gets quite sore if I do it all day long.

    If you do it when you remember it throughout the day, it helps to get a little extra tiny workout out in that area :)

    Stomach suck are great too.

    Standing on your toes whenever you can is good too.

    They just can't be replaced for true, regular exercise.

    Like some others on here have mentioned NEW RULES OF LIFTING FOR WOMEN is a great place to start to get a workout that's just right for you - if you have access to weights. Even if you don't, it gives some great info on what's going on inside your body when you lift heavy (or light) and do cardio, as well as nutrition advice. I am almost to the end of phase I, lifting weights I would never have considered before and wearing 2 sizes smaller than I was in March:) Still have a ways to go but I'm moving in the right direction!

    I haven't been doing a 'program', but what has really helped my legs is a ton of squats and lunges. I don't do heavy weight. I do high reps with a bar and 10lb weights on each side. Or squats to pick up a 10 lb medicine ball and put it down with another squat. :)

    I've donloaded brazilian butt workout and it seemed too easy and a bit boring...any other programs which helped you tone up (especially legs)

    please stop using "tone up" lol.

    just get lifting girl. if you want "tone"...(actually you want more muscle and less fat) then you gotta get lifting.

    i cant tell you how much good some heavy squatting will do for your legs and butt!
    we have girls in our gym who continue to improve these areas every month. and guess what, all they do it lift heavy.

    Not sure why people have a problem with the word tone when it is a synonym for lean. If she said I really want to lean out would have a problem with it? That being said your advice is excellent.
