good news and bad news, spot training

Fit Momma Question: Toning the Lower Half?

by TRAINERMOMMA on FEBRUARY 9, 2011

Our body works as a whole unit. To spot train is impossible. If you want to lose size and tone on your legs and butt, or anywhere for that matter, you’ve got to:

1. Drop some weight. Nutrition will have a huge impact on your results. (Fit Momma Challenge #5 comes in here — have you done it yet? :) ) In order to let the definition shine through, we’ve got to reduce the bulk and fat that’s on top of it.

2. Lift weights upper and lower body. Don’t ignore anything – ever. Also, having balanced, sculpted muscles is just plain beautiful and healthy. Lifting weights transforms your body into a calorie burning machine which will assist in the “dropping weight” category.

3. Do some sweaty, intense cardio at least 30 minutes most days a week. Also, don’t forget to throw in a few days of HIIT to those cardio workouts.

When trying to strengthen, tone, and reduce the size of the thighs and butt, you cannot miss when you use the “Fab Four” for the lower body:

lunges

squats

step ups

wall sits

***so there you have it peeps... i can't just wish my gutt and butt away, and as much as i wish i could spot train to get my bum tighter , or somehow move my bum fat up a little higher so i could have a B cup instead of a chubby 12yr old boy chest size:) oh well i guess for now i'll keep moving my body and trying to eat a little healthier.***

  1. I go to a Powerflex class at my gym on Mondays and Wednesdays (and they have an occasional one on Friday). We do different versions of the "Fab Four" every class. I tell you what, I absolutely HATE lunges and squats! The first few classes, I just couldn't handle it! But the more I go, the easier it gets. And now I can whip out 25 squats without dying! It does get easier, and it does work!
