How do I loose weight on my legs?
Question:
I do tennis, dance, go to the gym twice a week and walk to most places. So why I am like this? I don't want to loose a lot of weight since I am 53 kg and 164cm/8 stone 5lbs and 5' 4". I just want my legs to be thinner and if possible more toned. Any advice?
Answers:
As mentioned in one of the earlier answers, you unfortunately cannot spot reduce fat. The best way to lose fat is a combined resistance and cardiovascular training, and an appropriate diet.
Lower body exercises such as the squat, deadlift, and lunge are excellent exercises to use in resistance programmes. Of course, upper body exercises like chest press, seated row, pull-up/pull-down, and shoulder press should also be incorporated. Use a rep range of 8-10 for 2 weeks, 12-15 reps for 2 weeks, and 10-12 for 2 weeks, and begin cycle again. The tennis, dance, and walking should suffice for your cardiovascular training. But remember, nutrition is key so make sure you are taking in enough fuel for both the training and recovery.
Think your just moaning
Go GYM.
well u can target losing fat but u could try toning up.
if your only 8 stone 5 your legs cant be big at all its prob just in your head
your fit and do alot of activity so i'd say alot of it is muscle. tense your legs, do they still wobble? i'm betting not alot. its normal to have a bit of wobble. however you can try and do squats and reverse lunges. that isolates the leg muscles. maybe thats just the build you are.
When you go to the gym do the following exercises
Squats
Lunges
Leg Press
Leg Extension
Leg Curl
Calf Raise
15 Reps and around 3 sets. Ask your gym trainer to help you with these exercises. You can contact me on Yahoo IM if u need any more help.
do only legs workout concentrate on that
I think you have far too much time on your hands to think of such things...it actually frustrates me because on 7/7 people lost limbs and all sorts and here you are complaining about loosing weight from your legs...at least you still HAVE legs..dont be so selfish..
The silliest fitness notion that exists is that you can "spot reduce" or "spot tone" a specific part of your body. You are genetically predispositioned to keeping fat in your thighs, add to that the muscle that you have gained from your active lifestyle. If you're really desperate to lose fat in your legs, then I suggest you undergo a program that improves your body composition. this will involve a lot of cardiovascular training and proper dieting.
From experience, it's not worth all that extra work. You already seem to be doing fine keeping yourself healthy, you're a dancer and whatnot, and the dieting that you have to do will most likely make you feel miserable 80% of the time. This will utterly destroy all your relationships with other people.
My advice to you is to just accept the fact that you were given these two legs. Most likely, they're not even big, you just think they are. They might also appear to be big because your lower body is more developed than your upper body given the nature of your exercises (dance and whatnot). Seriously, stop worrying. I'm sure you're fine. I'm sure there are guys that also find you awesomely hot (because dancers are SO hot).
Go to a gym and do exercises for your legs. But be patient because it will take longer time before you could get result. If you are in a hurry to have proportional legs and you have extra money, you can consult a cosmetic surgeon for a fast result. And lastly, you may also accept it as a God given reality. Be happy with your legs at least you can walk.
One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
