[quote=Anonymous]I applaud you for wanting to focus on muscle!! More of a fitness tip than a beauty tip: Make sure you are focusing on muscles that will keep strain off your joints but that often get overlooked. Hip flexors, smaller ab muscles, adductors and abductors on your things (is that what those are called?), etc. A physical therapist could guide you. I know of a good one in arlington if you're interested (don't go with INOVA, there are better options that take insurance).

The only way you can look nice and toned is to reduce fat, and then you're getting into the balancing act between maintaining a slight calorie deficit while still maintaining muscle. I used to be very good about this but it took a good chunk of my time and energy, and I'm past the point where I want to deal with that. So I am just focusing on working out and finding flattering clothing. If you are worried about how you look in pictures (aren't we all?) making good choices about clothing, makeup, hair, and accessories is easier than trying to get the ideal body shape.[/quote]
