Excercises for bottom heavy?
I'm currently following the Slimming World plan - and I've lost almost 2 stone (3.5lbs away)
I've lost all over but I'm still very bottom heavy (bottom of my belly, hips and thighs) so much so that on a recent shopping dress, I couldn't get anything to fit... and I'm only a size 12! So, I was wondering if any of you wollies would have any tips on how to tone up this area?? Is there any good excercises I can do or DVD's that will tone me up in this area/all over (but especially bottom area) Re: Excercises for bottom heavy?
Hi Annie,
Go to youtube and look up squats and lunges. Do as many as you can and take a minute break and go again. Do this three times over. Thy it on a mon/wed/fri for example and see if you make progress. Please keep me posted. Regards Michael. mypersonaltrainer.ie Re: Excercises for bottom heavy?

Re: Excercises for bottom heavy?
Hi Flower, Great to see you are getting stuck into regular exercise. That alone should knock a few pounds off your target. Its impossible for me to give you a definitive answer until I get to know your eating habits etc, but here is what works for me and my clients when on a mission like yourself. I presume your last blessing arrived over a year ago as some exercises may not be suitable for post natal mums until the healing process is complete. General rules of thumb. (1) never ever skip breakfast. Its an age old addage, but let me say this to you, if you eat breakfast you will probably burn 1000 kcals more a day! Now there is an incentive! The three top cereals are (a) Porridge (b) Weetabix (c) Shredded Wheat. The less sugar at this time of day the better, but after reaching your goal, I would advise a glass of orange juice to get sugar in after starving the body of it all night. (2) Eat something mid morning and mid afternoon. Often skipped, but remember even a portion of fruit would suffice. This stokes your engine to keep the steam train running well and burning lots of calories. Banana is a good 11am choice as it takes so long to digest and you have all day to burn it off. (3) Lunctime : Try and eat something like a chicken salad, avoid the bread/wrap as much as possible. It is something that you can add in now and again when you hit your goal, but not if you are looking to lose weight. Its not the bread that causes the weight gain, its what we love to put on it. ;-) (4) Evening Meal : This meal should be 60% protein and 40% vegs. No patatoes for now, although oven cooked sweet patatoes are an excellent alternative to the real deal. (5) Supper : treat yourself to a small treat with a cuppa. Again, its just to have something in your engine before bedtime. Training : I find that getting your speed/time/distance up on the treadmill is a great way to lose weight. I do like weights also, but get your weight down first then worry about toning up. It will be interesting to see what sort of program you were given. One step at a time. Feel free to send me more info via email, including your gym program. All details on my website and please do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. Regards Michael mypersonaltrainer.ie
