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.

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.
