GYM JUNKIES, PERSONAL TRAINERS, ETC: How do i tone up and NOT lose much weight?
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008First off, I’m not at all interested in becoming thin, I much prefer a womanly, curvy figure for myself (not that thin isn’t beautiful too) so when I am working out, I’m not looking to shed fat, I am looking to tighten and tone and make my curves appear more beautiful, as opposed to blubbery, you know? I don’t intend to lose the curves!
I am looking to find out how to tone up my stomach, arms and thighs (mostly inner thighs) without sliming them down too much, if at all. My biggest actual worry is that my breast size and backside are going to decrease dramatically and they give me most of my more womanly shape. I like the hourglass body type better than a catwalk models.
I know there’s lunges, etc, but I don’t know too much about it, e.g. How often to do them and if they are effective. Booking time with a personal trainer is too costly for me as I’m a student so I’m hoping for some good answers ![]()
In my home gym we have a treadmil, a cross trainer and a cheaper stair master that I don’t think would be too great, yet not useless. We also have a skipping rope and some workout DVDS (I fear the DVDS are for weight loss though)
I eat a pretty good diet, lots of veg (not much fruit though) and chicken, meat, etc. I don’t eat fish as the taste revolts me and I drink lots of water. Aside from a vanilla coke on weekdays and pizza on a friday night, I eat pretty well and feel my current body shape is the one I was intended to have. Just wanna perfect it.
Can anyone suggest anything?
