Do you have any great butt/thigh toning exercises?

So I'm about 5'2" and thin (I weigh about 105). I definitely don't need to lose any weight, but I'm a very FLABBY in the butt/thigh area!

 

The thought of spending a week or two at the beach for my wedding is scary, since it will involves wearing a bikini!

 

Do you have any good toning exercises? I work out about 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes, but I never do any toning. I don't even know where to start.

 

I think my poor butt needs the most help.

You can do grand plies (ballet exercise); the key is keeping your back straight and not lean forward while doing those. They're great for toning up the thighs. There's also a variety of resistance/weight machines at the gym that are designed for the thighs. I have no idea what they're called though. For the inner and outer thighs, it's two machines on which you seat and spread your legs against resistance, and for the butt, it's an apparatus that you use standing up that reminds me of a wheel of torture. If you do lots of reps as opposed to lots of weight it should help tone up as opposed to bulk up. Someone at the gym should be able to point you in the right direction. And of course, there's always the DVD's of the "buns of steel" type. cheesy.gif

I do both squats and lunges and I recently added deadlifts in also which are amazing. smile43.gif

 

For squats I use a chair or bench and then squat until my booty touches the edge. Lunges are just lunges....difficult, painful....but really work the legs.

 

Deadlifts I use weights (usually 10 or 12's) and the stand straight and bend at the waist like you are wearing a really short skirt and picking something off the ground....keep your legs straight and it really works the backs of the legs where the leg meets the butt spot......monkey.gif

 

I just made no sense and that was really long.....sorry!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
