For a sexy female body,
1) Ditch the Lame Warm Up
Skipping rope and performing calisthenic exercises like jumping
jacks work the entire body, and prepare you neurologically for the
workout to come. This will allow you to get more out of each
workout.
2) Don't Be Afraid to Lift Heavy
I insist that all my female clients spend at least 2 days per month
dedicated to heavy lifting (75% of 1RM in certain cases).
3) Fight Hormones with Hormones
Use the power of lactic acid to locally attack stubborn
estrogen-based fat storage patterns.
4) Increase Training Density
Doing more work in less time has a number of incredible benefits:
increasing the rate of fat loss, aerobic and anaerobic training,
and an increase in work capacity.
5) Focus on your Assets
When it comes to squatting for your booty, go wide. For lunges, go
deep.
And for MEN,
1) Focus on Building an X-Shaped Physique
An X-shaped physique means: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and
strong, well-developed calves.
2) Push Less, Pull More
We should focus more on the muscles of the upper back: latissimus
dorsi, teres major, trapezius, et al. These muscles, developed
correctly, will help pull your shoulders back, helping to create
the broad shouldered look that men find powerful and women find
attractive.
To prevent imbalances and help to create such a look, try to
maintain a 3:2 ratio of pulling exercises to pushing exercises.
3) Lift Heavy at Least 4 Days per Month
To achieve the increases, my clients all have at least 1 day per
week dedicated to lifting near maximal loads. In addition to the
aforementioned benefits, heavy training also leads to strength
increases, which has obvious implications for training in the
future.
4) Mix Up Your Training
For the purposes of getting lean, exposing yourself to consistently
changing stimulus is an excellent way to ramp up metabolism and
consistently increases the processes by which fat loss is made
possible.
5) Tame Your Hormones
To aid in shedding the love handles and creating a body worth
seeing naked, there are a few ways to improve insulin management
via supplementation and diet. More details on the blog...

Your Fat Burning Workouts Using Variety For Success

Someone asked me the other day which workouts should she choose to do. She was a little confused because in my articles I talk about weight training, kettlebells, interval training and bodyweight exercises. So I could see how she was a little confused.
My answer to her and all of you is use them all. You know the whole variety is the spice of life thing. When it comes to fat loss, gaining lean muscle and improving your fitness and health variety is your best path. Now I mentioned 4 different ways to exercise above do you know the combination and workouts you could put together?
Using variety will keep you motivated and focused on getting to your fitness and fat burning goals. I don't know about you but I tend to get bored easily and let's face it exercise isn't always the most exciting thing in your life. If you keep challenging yourself with new and different workouts you will start to look forward to them. Especially once you start seeing the rewards in the mirror.
The one small problem with using exercise variety like I do is you have to really plan ahead. Back in the old day's of doing the basic bodybuilding splits you went to your garage or gym or wherever you worked out and were going to do the same workout over and over.
I tend to go by feel sometimes just for whatever reason I might feel like doing a particular exercise or exercises so I do it. I don't want it to sound like I just jump into a workout not knowing what I'll do that day. I do have it planned ahead of time but I will deviate from the plan also.
What I want to give you here is how to incorporate a variety of fat burning and muscle building exercise programs to use. You do need to plan this ahead on at least a weekly basis.
Commit to Weight training Monday and Thursday use total body exercises. As an example:
#1. Deadlifts
#2. Pushups
#3. Clean and Press
Again these exercises aren't written in stone maybe for whatever reason I don't have the feel to do pushups I'll do Incline dumbbell presses instead.
Use heavy weights, keep your reps in the 4-8 range, 4-5 sets each (best for lean muscle gains and losing fat). Yes it is only 3 exercises but with these 3 exercises you have also worked virtually every muscle group, Workout with intensity, haphazard workouts give haphazard results. You workout for a purpose, burn fat, gain lean muscle and improved fitness and health.
Tuesday and Friday do some Kettlebell exercises - Use timed sets
Set a timer for lets say 5 minutes (this will depend on your fitness level adjust time up or down)
#1. Kettlebell Swings - do as many reps as you can in your time frame
#2. Kettlebell Snatch - same as above
With timed sets every workout try to do more reps than the workout before. You don't need to do 10 more reps if you can't even 1 more than your last workout is progression.
Wednesday and Saturday could be Interval Training.
Do some bodyweight circuits, Jump Rope, go outside and do some sprint intervals.
This is just an example of how you could set up your exercise week. No you don't have to workout 6 days a week this is just an example. You should set up your workout to your conditioning level. Keep your workouts short 45 minutes(for weight training) 20 minutes and under(for kettlebells and Intervals).
Like I said sometimes I feel like doing something in particular so I do it.
I guess in a round about way what I'm saying is if you say to yourself I am weight training today but I really feel like doing Intervals than do Intervals that day. You are motivated to do intervals not weight train that day. Chances are if you say I have to (instead of I want to) weight train you probably won't even make it through your workout.
Use this article as your guide. As I mentioned change out exercises for variety. Keep the workouts short (not only saves time but also helps keep you motivated). At my new web site Fat Burning Diets And Workouts we talk about all kinds of different exercises and workouts you can do. We also talk about nutrition and healthy eating, motivation and goal setting. Stop by and check it out.

Flatten Your Abs And Tighten Your Butt

A Fast Track Fat Burning Workout To Flatten Your Abs
Imagine looking in the mirror in a few short weeks and you have not only lost__?__lbs of fat(fill in the blank) but you now have that six pack abs look!
Here is a fast track fat burning workout(no marathon aerobic workouts here). What you will need is 1 kettlebell and your bodyweight that's it.
Most of us tend to store fat, at least partially, in our abdominal area. This is one of the most stubborn places to lose fat from. But in trying to flatten your abs have you taken the best and fastest approach?
Are you using total body exercises in your fat burning workouts? Yeah I didn't think so.
Rule#1 If you want to flatten your abs, firm your butt, gain lean muscle, whatever, the most effective and efficient way is with total body fat burning exercises! Hands down.
What I am going to share with you here is not only the fast track approach to fat burning and to flatten your abs, but how to shape and tone your entire body.
Here are 3 total body fat burning exercises you can easily do at home to help flatten your abs and burn fat fast.
1) Mountain Climbers
Start in push-up position. Brace your abs bring on knee towards your chest. Return the knee to the starting position and repeat for the other knee. Do this in a swift tempo as though you are running.
2) Burpees
Stand up in a normal position. squat down. Put your hands on the floor and throw your feet back so you are in the push-up position. Do a push-up(if your conditioning allows) return to starting position. Yeah you got it the old squat thrust from high school.
3) Kettlebell Swing (No kettlebell? Get one or use a dumbbell)
Stand up straight with your feet just slightly wider than your shoulders while holding one kettlebell(we are doing a two handed kettlebell swing). Flex at the hips as you swing the kettlebell between your legs. Then quickly and explosively flex your butt and swing the kettlebell up to chest level. Perform the kettlebell swing for about 10 reps.
After you have finished with the kettlebell Swing, rest for about 20 to 30 seconds(adjust your rest times to your conditioning level). Then start again and do the whole fat burning circuit as many times as you can in 15 minutes.
Do this circuit of total body fat burning exercises 2-3 times a week. On off days from your weight training workouts. You are weight training aren't you? No! Start!
Make this a regular workout and in a short amount of time(along with a healthy eating plan) and that six pack abs look will be yours.
Remember total body fat burning exercises like I have just showed you are the fast track to get that six pack abs look.

Total Body Workouts; Get a Firm Butt, Slender Tighs And Tight Abs

Total Body Workouts Get A Firm Butt, Slender Thighs And Tight Abs
Total body workouts forget any thoughts or information you read about spot reducing. Spot reducing doesn't work end of story. The only way to get a firm butt, slender thighs, tight abs and get rid of that saggy arm fat is by training your whole body each workout.
Weight training, kettlebell training, interval training, bodyweight exercises and eating healthy are your keys. In this article I am going to concentrate on the training and workouts for total body conditioning. In other articles we will look at healthy eating for lean muscle gain, fat loss and increasing your energy.
By using total body workouts you will not only get faster and much better results (inlean muscle gains and fat loss) but your workouts will be much shorter. At home or at the gym wherever you workout your workouts should take you at most 40 minutes.
If you are spending more than 40 minutes you are probably not working out at the proper intensity level. Your weight training workouts will probably be the longest in terms of time. But this can also be shortened by cutting down your rest time in-between sets.
I am a big believer in variety in workouts. By variety I mean using all the training systems I mentioned above.
Let me give you a rundown on the 4 training sytems for total body workouts.
There’s different ways to build strength, add lean muscle and lose fat:
Today a begginner bodyweight only total body workouts.
• Bodyweight Exercises. Master your own bodyweight first. Pushups, pullups, situps,
squats, etc are the best place to start. Bodyweight workouts are what I would advise to anyone who is just starting an exercise program.
Here is a begginning Bodyweight program for total body workouts:
1) Prisoner Squats
2) Push-ups
3) Burpees
Stay with this 3-4 days a week for 1-2 weeks. I want you to just get your body and conditioning level ready to take on more diffucult workouts. Work up to 3-4 sets for 8-10 reps. As a beginner if you think 2 weeks isn't enough stay on it longer you will know when its time to move on.
Coming in future articles I'll be covering the following and more.
* Weight Training. Using free weights, barbell training specifically. You can build a
massive amount of strength,lean muscle and achieve great fat loss results with just a simple set of weights.
When doing Weight training Compound exercises like Squats, Deadlifts, Presses, etc build the most strength, lean muscle and is still the best method for fat loss.
most strength the fastest.
* Kettlebell Training You can train at home, or go outside and get some fresh air. Kettlebell training is a form of training that will not only improve the appearance of your physique, it will give you strength and mental toughness that you did not know was even possible.
* Interval Training What most people don’t know is that intervals are the best cardio method for fat loss. An interval is a short period of exercise performed at a given intensity for a specific length of time. Each interval is separated from the next interval by a short rest or lighter activity. Intervals continue to burn calories and fat after the training session, and that’s something you won’t get from slower, longer sessions of cardio.
Total Body Workouts get A Firm Butt, Slender Thighs And Tight Abs Oh and I almost forgot get rid of that saggy arm fat!

Okay, here's the first thing you need. About a 8x8 open area. And your bodyweight. That's it. Don't rest between any of these exercises.
First exercise: Prisoner Squat
Place your hands behind your head, keep your elbows back, and squat down halfway to the ground. Keep your shoulder blades together to work your upper back and push your hips back as you squat to work your back of your legs.
Do that 10-20 times depending on your strength levels.

How To Get That Six Pack Abs Look For The Busy Woman

How To Get That Six Pack Abs Look. What do I mean when I say that? It's simple the six pack abs look is just what we talk about here. Tight fat free abs, a firm and shapely butt, slender thighs and just a gererally firm toned healthy body.
Today we are talking to Mike Geary of The Truth About Six Pack Abs program. So this is just about getting six pack abs? Yes and No. Mike teaches total body workouts which I love. Why? If you are looking to lose fat( how to get that six pack abs look!) or looking to add more muscle total body workouts are not only Efficient but highly Effective.
Okay hopefully I cleared up what how to get that six pack abs look means so lets talk to Mike.
JG: Let's get right down to it. Everyone wants a flat set of 6-pack abs, yet very few people ever achieve that goal. Why do you think there's so much confusion on the subject? Is it really all that complicated of a process?
MG: You know, it's really NOT that complicated... However, with that said, to get your body fat % low enough to really see a nice set of abs, it does take a decent amount of discipline with your food intake as well as a whole new level of intensity with your workouts than what most people are used to. The thing is, most of my clients always comment that the style of eating that I recommend is actually fun, and they feel more energy due to the more natural unprocessed healthy foods they're eating and more balanced blood sugar and hormone levels in their body.
The problem is that there's so much conflicting advice out there these days, it leads the average joe or jane to over-complicate things and end up totally confused about what's the best way to train and eat for six pack abs.
JG: You've said before that abdominal exercises such as crunches and situps are extremely ineffective when it comes to achieving a flat stomach, and that they can actually make your stomach look WORSE. Can you elaborate on that?
MG: Sure... First of all, let me make clear that I'm not saying that you shouldn't do any abs-specific exercises. Rather, my point of contention is that most people spend WAY too much time focusing all of their efforts on abs-specific exercises, instead of focusing their efforts on more effective total body workouts and exercises that stimulate a much greater fat-burning and muscle building hormonal response, burn more calories, stimulate the metabolism to a higher extent, and also indirectly work the abs to a decent degree anyway.
Let me give an example of how many people typically waste too much time on abs-specific exercises...
A lot of times I see the average joe or jane spending about 15-30 minutes of their total workout just doing tons of pointless repetitions of crunches, situps, leg raises, or some other "abs pumping" exercise. Many times this comes out to almost HALF of their entire time working out.
My point here is that this type of excessive abs training is really a waste of time training a relatively small muscle group such as the abs, when that time could have been better spent on total body workouts using exercises such as squats, deadlifts, clean & presses, lunges, upper body presses and pulls, dumbbell swings, snatches, etc, etc. Compared to spending that time doing abs exercises, all of the above types of exercises will give you magnitudes more results in terms of hormonal response, metabolism increase, calorie burning, etc... all while indirectly working the abs to an extent anyway.
After focusing the majority of your workout efforts on those types of more effective total body workouts and exercises, then it's ok to spend about 5-7 minutes directly training the abs with abs-specific exercises... but the point I'd like to make is that abs training should only be a small portion of your training program as a whole, and not the majority of it.
Also, back to the topic of crunches and situps in particular... Once you've got a decent amount of abdominal training under your belt, crunches tend to be one of the least effective ab strengthening exercises since they are actually a fairly low-resistance exercise. An example of a higher resistance abs exercise would be a hanging leg raise with a proper pelvic curl-up (different than what you see most people doing in the gyms, where they only raise their knees up).
JG: How often do you recommend an individual train their abdominals on a weekly basis? Is basic, straightforward training the best protocol, or are there advanced ab training techniques that will yield better results?
MG: I usually recommend incorporating abs-specific training into your routines about twice/week, and 5-7 minutes per workout. Remember though that you're also getting indirect ab work through most of the total body workouts that should be comprising the majority of your workout time.
Beyond the typical leg raises, ab bicycles, hip thrusts, ab pikes, crunches, etc... there are definitely ways that you can take your abs to a new level that most people don't even think of. For example, some of the best abs exercises aren't usually viewed as abs exercises at all...
A couple examples that come to mind are front squats, renegade dumbbell rows, mountain climbers, 1-arm snatches, and others. Front squats are typically viewed as just a leg exercise, but if you've ever learned to do a proper front squat, you'll feel a tremendous stabilization tension required in your abs due to the weight being shifting more to the front of your body compared to the back as in back squats. If you haven't done front squats in a while, or are just learning them, I guarantee if you do a few sets of them, your abs will be feeling it big time the next day!
Renegade rows are another example of an exercise that's typically just viewed as an upper back exercise. However, while you're rowing a dumbbell up from a pushup position while stabilizing your body with your other arm, there is an insane amount of tension and stabilization strength required in your entire abs/core area. This is another exercise that really surprises people at how much they feel it in their abs.
So there you have it How to get that six pack abs look. Total body workouts not only to tighten up those abs but lose body fat, get a firm butt, slender thighs and add some lean muscle.

Get Shapely,Slender Thighs And A Firm Butt With These 4 Exercises
How you are going to have slender shapely thighs and have a firm butt with incredible shape. If you are willing to put in the time and effort with the exercises I am about to show you that new body you desire is within reach.
Many people have the top goal of achieving a set of six pack abs, your primary goal might be strengthening, slimming and toning your legs and and having a firmer butt , giving your lower body a curvier and more shapely, yet still muscular appearance.
When your body shows good tone and definition, it really enhances your the overall image, making it well worth your time and effort.
In order to maximize both the strength potential and appearance of your leg and glute muscles, there are some key exercises you will want to focus on.
By doing so, you'll be sure you're getting the most for your time spent as well as see the quickest results possible - because no one wants to spend more time doing leg workouts than they have to.
Exercise# 1 Full Squats
One of the biggest mistakes that women make when doing the squat exercise is shorting themselves of the full movement. Most times women (and men) don't go low enough on squats. When doing your squats make sure you are going down below parrallel
The primary reason being it's those last few inches at the very bottom of the squat where you're really going to call the hamstrings and glutes into play, contracting the muscles to maximum tension.
Exercise #2 One Leg Split Squat
Another exercise that's fantastic for hitting those glute muscles while giving your behind a very curved and attractive appearance is split squats. To perform this one you simply place one leg up on a bench or box behind you, while standing on the other leg straight underneath you.
Hold either a pair of dumbbells at your side or else have a barbell resting across your back and then slowly bend the leg you're standing on to move into the squat position.
To add a little extra intensity to this movement once you've got the basic squat down, try pausing for a second at the bottom before lifting upwards. Once you're comfortable with this, then take a second pause half way through the upwards portion, and then rise back up to the full standing position.
Try and go as low as you can comfortably, and then straighten the leg again until you're at the top of the position.
After you've finished all your reps on that side, you then repeat the exercise standing on the other foot. Note also with this exercise that the further your standing foot is from the leg behind you, the more you will work the hamstring muscles while if it's directly underneath the center of balance, you'll target your quads more.
Exercise #3 Romanian Deadlifts
Next up on the list are romanian deadlifts where your feet are slightly raised upon a block or board. Having this extra flexion with the foot will put slightly more tension on the hamstring and butt muscles, upping the intensity of the exercise.
Note that if your aim is primary strength development, you may want to go without the block as you will likely lift more weight, but if you aren't as concerned with max strength and more focused on just defining the muscles, this is a good variation to incorporate into your program.
Exercise #4 Box Step Ups
Finally, the last exercise you can do to target the legs and glutes are box step ups.
These will promote the development of the quads nicely, so they will be a good addition to the deadlifts just mentioned above.
To perform this exercise you basically just stand right behind a box or bench, while either holding a set of dumbbells or while resting a barbell across your back, they also can be done with just your bodyweight.
From there, place one leg directly up on top of the box and use that leg to pull the other one up to meet it.
Once you're at the top, you have the option of stepping down with the other leg leading now, or stepping down in the same manner you stepped up.
Whichever method you choose to use, be sure you then switch feet after the set is completed, so you balance the tension placed over both the legs.
Well there you are 4 exercises to get you that firm butt, slender thighs and tight abs.
What's that? Oh what do these exercises have to do with getting tight abs?
Squats (of all forms) when done correctly and with proper form are a great ab exercise. Want six pack abs? Work your squats and see what I mean.
Okay that's it for today. The rest is up to you.

Tight Abs Slender Thighs And A Firm Butt
So what haven't you tried in your attempt to get a firm butt slender thighs and tight abs? And what success have you had if any? How many of the gimmicks and late night infomercial junk have you tried? The constant barage of fad diets and useless infomercial junk promising you that flat stomach tight six pack abs, a firm butt and slender thighs that you desire?
I'm going to let you in on the two ‘secrets' that will help you shed unwanted fat and reveal your toned firm butt, tight abs and slender thighs once and for all.
The first secret for a flat stomach is healthy eating. While this doesn't seem like a secret at all, most women get this wrong in spite of their best efforts. Women have fallen prey to low-fat, low-carb, Hollywood, grapefruit, South Beach and every other over hyped diet that marketers can dream up, all in hopes of shedding those unwanted pounds and excess body fat. But healthy e ating isn't about dieting or starvation it's about moderation and balance. While cutting carbs or fats out of your nutrition plan might give you a temporary loss of a couple of pounds, it's typically followed by a drop in metabolism and a weight gain of more than you lost in the first place once you go back to your old eating habits.
So what is healthy eating? Eating healthy is having protein and carbohydrates at every meal. It's grazing on 4-6 meals or snack each day instead of missing meals and then gorging yourself. It's eatinga healthy breakfast ( which most of us skip these days) and not drinking your calories. But most of all, eating healthy is eatingthe foods you love but in moderation instead of gorging yourself.
If healthy eatingis the first secret to a firm butt, tight abs and slender thighs, then what's the second? The second fat loss and toning secret is resistance training. Unfortunately, just as fad diets have stood in the path of women achieving the flat stomachs, firm butt and slender thighs they want so badly, so have the myths of spot reduction and cardio being the best method for fat loss. Late night infomercials have long promoted gadgets that promised to spot reduce those trouble spots that women (and men) struggle with and sucked us in with testimonials from fitness models that undoubtedly picked up a nifty paycheck for endorsing their junk. But spot reduction is a myth. SPOT REDUCTION DOES NOT WORK! Think about it – have you ever met someone with a firm butt, tight abs and flabby thighs ?I Didn't think so. If spot reduction was possible then undoubtedly one of these happy customers would have toned and tightened their abs and butt, yet kept their flabby thighs.
The other myth that has led women thinking wrong when it comes to what type of exercise to do is the belief that cardio is the best solution for fat loss.
Treadmill manufacturers have sold the virtues of the ‘fat burning zone' and led us to believe that we could plod along on a treadmill watching Oprah and before long a flat stomach would be ours. These two myths have diverted us from the path of what really does work – resistance training. Resistance training is a flat stomach's best friend because not only does an effective resistance training session burn plenty of calories while you're doing it, but it keeps you're metabolism revved long after you're done. One recent study showed that you're metabolism would stay elevated for over 36 hours after a resistance training session.
Try to get that out of an aerobics class.
And there's another benefit of resistance training when it comes to getting a firm butt tight abs and slender thighs. The lean muscle that you gain will raise you're resting metabolic rate and help you burn more fat all day long, each and every day.
There you have it, two ‘secrets' that are guaranteed to boost your metabolism and give you that firm butt tight abs and slender thighs you've been longing for. So get rid of the fad diets and the aerobics classes and start eating healthy and resistance training. Before long that firm butt tight abs and slender thighs will finally be yours.
I'm going to let you in on the two ‘secrets' that will help you shed unwanted fat and reveal your toned firm butt, tight abs and slender thighs once and for all.

But most of all, eating healthy is eatingthe foods you love but in moderation instead of gorging yourself.
If healthy eatingis the first secret to a firm butt, tight abs and slender thighs, then what's the second? The second fat loss and toning secret is resistance training. Unfortunately, just as fad diets have stood in the path of women achieving the flat stomachs, firm butt and slender thighs they want so badly, so have the myths of spot reduction and cardio being the best method for fat loss. Late night infomercials have long promoted gadgets that promised to spot reduce those trouble spots that women (and men) struggle with and sucked us in with testimonials from fitness models that undoubtedly picked up a nifty paycheck for endorsing their junk. But spot reduction is a myth. SPOT REDUCTION DOES NOT WORK! Think about it – have you ever met someone with a firm butt, tight abs and flabby thighs ?I Didn't think so. If spot reduction was possible then undoubtedly one of these happy customers would have toned and tightened their abs and butt, yet kept their flabby thighs.
The other myth that has led women thinking wrong when it comes to what type of exercise to do is the belief that cardio is the best solution for fat loss.
Treadmill manufacturers have sold the virtues of the ‘fat burning zone' and led us to believe that we could plod along on a treadmill watching Oprah and before long a flat stomach would be ours. These two myths have diverted us from the path of what really does work – resistance training. Resistance training is a flat stomach's best friend because not only does an effective resistance training session burn plenty of calories while you're doing it, but it keeps you're metabolism revved long after you're done. One recent study showed that you're metabolism would stay elevated for over 36 hours after a resistance training session.
Try to get that out of an aerobics class.
And there's another benefit of resistance training when it comes to getting a firm butt tight abs and slender thighs. The lean muscle that you gain will raise you're resting metabolic rate and help you burn more fat all day long, each and every day.
There you have it, two ‘secrets' that are guaranteed to boost your metabolism and give you that firm butt tight abs and slender thighs you've been longing for. So get rid of the fad diets and the aerobics classes and start eating healthy and resistance training. Before long that firm butt tight abs and slender thighs will finally be yours.

How To Get Tight Abs A Firm Butt And Slender Thighs
'Sexy thin thighs' - it's an elusive goals amongst so many women in the world. Elusive, not because it's an unachievable goal - but because just about every women doesn't know the true way to get attractively slim and toned, sexy thighs.
Here's how to do it.
I recently had a chance to catch up with one of my favorite fitness colleagues at a womens' fitness conference in South Florida. We got into a conversation about the 2 ways women try to get sexy thin thighs...
Those 2 ways are:
1 - The Easy Way
2 - The Hard Way
The Hard Way actually was a long list of the many wrong and self-destructive ways of 'attempting' to get nice thin thighs, ranging from unrealistic heavy weights and uncomfortable machine type exercise programs to bogus 'spa' treatments (like body wraps) to 'slimming pills' to crazy 'diets' to ridiculous 'cleansing' juice fasts to 'miracle' thigh lotions and creams...
Of course, there was a whole lot more than that, but you get the idea of our candid conversation - that eventually came to the subject of The Easy Way to get attractively thin thighs.
This, of course, first assumes that a woman has flabby, fat, thick and heavy thighs - that she is unhappy, maybe even depressed with and wants to slim them down and firm them up.
Both of us wholeheartedly agreed that the easiest way for a woman to get sexy thin thighs is by:
Rule One - following a properly structured, and targeted exercise routine, that focuses on the problem areas (in this case - the fat thighs).
Rule Two - combining that program with the right type and amount of cardiovascular exercise for calorie burning.
Rule Three - following a healthy, simple, and 'calorically correct' eating plan with foods that are readily available at any modern supermarket and taste good!
Rule Four - [Most Important] Committing to a lifestyle of 'fitness' habits that naturally result in a woman having 'those eye catching thighs' and a body to match, for the rest of her fun life.
Please make note that 'thin thighs' is a relative term - and most often can be replaced by 'thinner thighs' - because let's face it - 'too thin' is not sexy or desirable either.
Which takes us back to my philosophy on fitness and life:
"It's all about balance. Proper balance, that is." In other words - you can balance the wrongs things and that won't bring you the results you want. You must balance the right elements for to get the desired outcome.
My fitness colleague and dear friend, Victoria, agrees about finding balance in your fitness journey - as she will be the first to admit that her life used to be way out of balance until she decided it was time to change her body and her life for the better.

95% of Women Make These Same Weight Loss Mistakes Over and Over
Stephanie and Margo are 27 and 59 years old respectively. I use them as examples because of their age differences, yet both of them achieving very similar results... and inspiring results at that! When they first came to me, they were spewing a lot of the same old negative beliefs about their body that I see so many women have... they would say things such as:
"Oh, I'll never lose weight... my metabolism is shot and just way too slow!"
or"I'll just have to accept my flabby body the way it is because with my genetics, I'll never get a flat stomach."or
"I've tried everything and nothing works... I'm doomed to have this pooch-belly and love handle rolls for life!"or
"I just don't have time to get in shape... it's just impossible for me with my busy schedule... I should just give up."
The fact is... they both proved ALL of these beliefs DEAD WRONG! And so have thousands of other women that changed their mindset, their workout techniques, and their nutrition habits drastically from their old habits that weren't working.
Over the last 10 years of training and consulting hundreds of women on nutrition, quite a few patterns started to emerge and I noticed most women were falling into many of the same traps. Some of them I mentioned above with the excess cardio, the time wasted doing crunches & situps, the bogus fat-burner pills, the worthless ab gadgets, the grocery store mistakes, and the failed diets time and time again.
Stephanie and Margo had also fallen into the same traps and struggled with their fitness for years due to these mistakes. But something changed immediately when they starting using the workout and dietary techniques that I revealed to them.
They finally started getting results and losing layer upon layer of ugly body fat after years of struggling to lose even a couple of pounds!
Change Your Methods Drasticallyand Your Body Will Change Drastically... Get Out That Bikini!
After finally changing her ways and adopting a new way of thinking about food, working out, and what she can achieve, Stephanie has lost over 70 lbs and literally made herself an entirely new person. She feels more energetic, looks about 10 years younger now, and is finally confident to wear whatever she wants out of the house now, after years of being self conscious.
Margo also lost 23 lbs so far and is feeling the best she has in over 2 decades after implementing these techniques that she learned in my system. She's actually enjoying food more now than ever before, yet still losing weight and firming up her entire body.
So What are Stephanie & Margo Doing DifferentlyThat Has Kick-Started Them Into a Whole New Lifestyle of Feeling Good & Looking Sexy?
Well, what they are doing is a uniquely designed full body program I put together called The Truth about Six Pack Abs.
After years of seeing so many frustrated people struggling with excess body fat and flabby abs and literally wasting their hard-earned money on worthless fat-loss products and six-pack abs gimmicks... I decided it was time to put together my own unique system to solve this problem.
Time and time again I even saw my friends and family just being flat-out scammed by the unscrupulous marketers in the fitness industry selling you all of this garbage that isn't going to do anything at all to change your body for the better... It's only going to make their wallets fatter!
What I did was put together an innovative scientifically-based fitness program that has finally revealed the truth about abdominals, stomach fat & love handles, and is helping tens of thousands of people around the world to finally conquer their struggle.
If you too can relate to this weight loss struggle you owe it to yourself to find out exactly what The Truth About Abs can do for you.
