I have gotten down from 208 to 165 and went from a tight 18 *almost thought i was gonna have to go up a size* to a loose 16 *Looks pretty good* I dont have to much trouble with my thighs and butt really my job requires me to stand/walk for 12hours so i am keeping moving and they stay in pretty good shap but i need some ideas in toning my abs and hips. i know that everyone is different and your ideas may not work for me im just looking for some suggestions that have worked for some of you that have toned you up in those areas. i have lost alot of the weight in my hips *suprisingly* and quiet a bit in the belly but i wanna start toning the muscles more there and get that area in more shape. i notice that my legs and butt get a work out 3 to 4 nights a week for 12 hours at work and so do my arms but not really my abs i tryed doing someting with my tummy while i work like hold it in and release type things but after about 10 mins i start talking to someone and forget what im doing lol. maybe something i can do at home for those two main areas. *hips and tummy* mainly those got so out of shape cause ive had two kids and after the first baby i didnt try to hard to put them back in shape and then the second just really messed me up lol. How ever on a bright note i did try on my wedding dress from almost 3 years ago *my youngest baby is 20months* and it is to BIG. and my juinor prom dress fits me again lol its great but i still wanna tone those up at least try. worse case is i try these ideas for a month and i tone the muscles but it just doesnt look like it. and any hits on strengthening the back muscles too?
thanks in advance.
