I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you are looking for a toned physique tons of cardio isn’t the answer. Strength training is! Unfortunately, the body shape you have when you are overweight is pretty close to the body shape you will have when you lose the weight, just smaller. Building muscle is the only way to reshape your body. Here are some of every girl’s favorite part to work on...
Are longer legs your dream?
Do lunges or bridges (weighted bridges are even better). Saggy and droopy “cheeks” make you appear short and that crease between your glutes and your thighs is NOT supposed to be there! If you want a tush that looks smooth from glute to thigh (think Olympic Volleyball players) make sure you are following a proper diet and building round and pert glute muscles! Who knows, maybe Kanye will write his next song about your backside?
Hips don’t lie. Want them smaller?
Work your shoulders. Shoulder presses, shrugs, lateral raises, front raises, back flyes, cable internal rotation, etc. One misconception is that you need to lose weight to make the bottom half shrink but losing weight will still keep your body proportions the same. Build muslce mass on the top half of your body and that will help to balance out your lower half. Give your hips and thighs a break.
Of course every sassy girl knows that your body is always a work in progress. You are one sexy thing so strut your stuff and feel good about it. You have the ability to change what you don’t like. If you don’t like it I have a easy solution for you....Change it!
