Go to the gym & use the machienes

[picaso_smile]

Exercise in the morning to speed up your metabolism for the day. Eat three full meals a day. Don't eat at night. Drink lots of water.

join some team sports. Swimming is good for losing weight too.

Umm my standard work out for a day:
Arm weights (15 of each)
dumbell press
bicep curls
dumbell flys
and like 4 more don't know names or how to describe

Leg weights (15 of each)
lunges
squats

Abs (50 of each)
crunches
oblique twists

Yea I think that's about it, you can try some of those and running is always good. Eating well is good too, looks like your on a good track. But I gained weight since I started working out, so muscle weights more than fat, it's not all about a number, it's how satisfied about the way you look in the mirror, it's ok too be a little muscular!

is it just the thigh area you're worried about? well there are these things where you lift one leg up and down a few times each... you sit down, tuck one leg in and put the other one out, and move it up and down slowly for about 10 times maybe? and then repeat with the other leg. i think those would work.

basically all exercises work if you really do them..

Just running won't help you out with your thighs. You should be using some weight machines, as well that are geared specifically toward the thigh area. At my school, we have a weight room and the gym teachers teach us how to use the machines. It's open everyday before and after school but if you don't have something like this at your school, go to the YMCA or something. Make sure that somebody teaches you how to use them, though because you could hurt yourself otherwise. And don't use weights every single day...it's not good for you. Also, try using stationary bikes. I used to compete in triathlons and my thighs thinned out, especially after using the bike.

sometimes I worry a/b my thighs too...but, aren't ladies kinda supposed to be curvy around there??? But, ya, there's nothing wrong w/ some good exercisin'

Ok well. since your not fat, but want to get in shape, talk to your P.E. Teacher. Odd as it may seem Thats what I done. She basicaly told me to do 25 jumping jacks, stretch my muscles and things run/walk 5 laps and see how many sit-ups I can do in a minute, and the same with pushups. Of course at the begenningof the school yaer, I could only do 12 situps and 3 pushups, and not I can do 36 situps and 17 push ups in a minute. It didn't make me as thin as a twig, I still have my body, but it's just..."evened out" And I'm in much better shape than I was at the begenning of the year. I could go over the stretches with you...more detailed, later if you want me to

just keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat! i think that your running is doing good. i run about 3 miles a day just to keep in shape between all the sports. running for a longer period of time helps. if you also stretch & lift weights that would help. if you want to know some good exercises you can do, just PM me. i'll be glad to help you!

[sportschick1]

um. well leg machines work wonders im in weight training right now and just doing it for what 4 weeks i seen vast improvments in my legs there leaner but if you do too much weight they'll lickley to get bigger and you dont seem to want that. or do yeaa thats works

[tiffythepoopoo]

yeah, swimming will slim your thighs like woah! :D
also, try doing that thing where you lay on one side (like the right side) of your stomach and lift your legs up and down. it'll make your butt perky and thighs skinnier. =)

[XaZnX07]

it kinda depends on how long you have been running dont expect major changes just gradual just keep up what your doing i am sure it will get you into shape also when you run up your intensity run harder and longer



.:tony:.

[gohomejes]

how long have you been doing this? how much do you run?? you won't notice a difference right away ;) and you have to be consistant with whatever you do

[AznVi3tGrl]

yea i think i'm a lil' over weight well not reall yi just look fat and i'm planning to go to the gym everyday this week since it's spring break

[*inkeepingsecret...]

a good way to lose weight on your thights is to do lots of lunges if you do them every day you'll see a difference in days. oh! and do squats

[simx]

Play DDR, crunches help with your abs... also reverse crunches. But yea you can't really build/tone your muscles without cardio.
