Q: 4 Months to Get There
asked by: mrswilson on June 14th, 2005

Hi all, I am looking for some tips and advice. First off I am 23 yrs old and 5'10 and right now 153lbs. Normal for my height. I'm not looking to see the pounds to go down so much as I am just wanting to lose the fat on my inner thighs and stomach. It's not alot at all just enough to aggravate me. I don't have alot of weight to lose, just need to firm it all up. And the reason why I say 4 months, my husband leaves on a 4month deployment next week so starting when he leaves I plan to work out more to look awesome by the time he comes back. And with me being the only one at home it should be easy. I eat healthy and i've lost 20lbs alone doing that in 3 months. Has anyone got a good routine to do for tummy and thighs?My plan is to get up in the mornings and go running, lift weights during lunch and at night do some cardio as well as squats, lunges, etc. Any advice would be great thanks!!!

You Can Do It!
I'm no weight trainer but if you type in "exercise to lose weight in the tummy and thigh" in google or any health site, I am sure you would get many efficient answers from weight trainers and stuff.

Sorry I couldn't give you too much advice but I just wanted to say you can do it! Never lose faith in yourself and never settle for less than your best.

Remember your goals, work towards them and celebrate along the way. Don't beat yourself up if you miss one day, just try harder. Congratulate yourself on success!

I am sure your husband will be pleasantly surprised when he sees the results...Take care and the very best you.

Keep posting on how you're doing..You might even find answers to your question on some other posts on the forums... :)

sorry this is so long, thanks for taking the time to read this!

Good for you for setting such great goals for yourself!!
Your husband must love such wonderful surprises when he comes home lol
i too am hoping to lose weight and gain muscle, not for anyone really, but just for me. I have poor self esteem and im hoping to heal the inside by trying to like what I see on the outside ....Its a place to start for me.
I have been trying to exercise as well and eat healthier and I really enjoy the ol tried and true exercises. My favs are:
inner thighs: lie on your left side, hand supporting your head, and put your right leg on the floor (bottom of your foot solid) in front of your left leg. Now raise and lower the left leg (which is kinda now underneath the right one) and do reps like this before switching legs. I hope that was understandable lol...It works great
tummy: I like to do normal crunches, however to make it a lil bit more challenging, try holding a 3-5 lb weight behind your head while doing so. Hold the dumbell vertically at one end and crunch as normal. It adds a little bit of resistance that seems to work.
Hope it helps!
Let me know if you have any routines that you find particuarly useful =)

Good goals to have.

First off, no need to target your thighs and tummy, naturally this is where you fat reserves are (your bum too.), so when you lose weight this is the first place you will shed it from.

Simple steps:

1 - continue your healthy eating, you're dropping weight.. No need to change your routine. I don't even need to know what your meals are like right now. If it works, go with it.

2 - cardio in the mornings on an empty stomach, mild cardio... Don't push too hard otherwise your body won't have enough time to break down fat for energy and you will begin to feel faint.

3 - no heavy or sugary meals 2-3 hours before bed time.

Those are the basics, follow that for the first month and report back on your weight loss results, at that point will have lost that excess fat, but you'd still be soft... At this point we can introduce some weight training to tone your body and firm up.
