Hi! I have a question. I've read the threads about not being able to isolate fat burning, etc. in just one part of the body, but my question is a little more specific. I don't want to offend anyone, but I'm hoping some of you have suggestions.
I am currently at 308#, down from an all-time high of 365. I will post my story when I am comfortable sharing it, but...well, okay, out with it.
I've never had sex in the "cowgirl" position.
Okay, I said it. (blushing furiously)
I am 31. I have been in a monogamous relationship for 11 years, married to him for 8, and am currently in the beginning of a divorce battle-royale. In all of our years together, I was obese and unable to get "on top". He was obese, too, and our bellies just weren't having any of it. I was very embarrassed about his view of my body from that position, and we tried once and it was so awkward (umm, I fell OFF OF HIM and laughed until I was weeping and then couldn't stop crying...not pretty...) that we never tried again.
Now, I have plenty of self-esteem issues and personal hang-ups, but what I came to the Fitness section for was to ask this:
For my future happiness (lol!) what types of exercises can I do to strengthen my inner and outer thighs specifically?
I want to be able to lift and move myself with a partner, should I ever get the nerve to be seen naked again.
Any suggestions? I'm in the exercise-newbie phase, but I'll take whatever you've got in the way of advice.
Thanks!!!!! I'm going to go cry now. lol
