Fortunately, the added muscle torches fat.


Unfortunately, each added lb of muscle only burns an additional 6 calories per day. And unfortunately, it's not that easy to add lbs and lbs of muscle, especially for a woman. You can't out train a bad diet.

You can't spot reduce. Doing a non weight bearing exercise repeatedly won't get you much bang for your buck.

Your body is going to deposit fat where it is going to deposit it. (For me, I have little to know fat on my butt and thighs - they are rock hard - but my midsection is prone to gaining fat.) Don't worry about thigh - and butt- specific exercises - find an exercise that you like that challenges you.

For home exercises - P90X and T25 seem to get good reviews. Jillian Michaels videos also seem pretty solid.


Completely disagree ^^^^!!

First of all - this is not about SPOT REDUCTION. OP's question is about building muscle - you missed that. What you've essentially said is that "working on one particular muscle will do nothing...to build muscle". So bicep curls are waste of time. I guess Popeye really did get those huge biceps just from eating spinach


If Popeye was complaining of cellulite on his biceps he would need a different solution than bicep curls.

I did 100 reps each side 3x week and my ass was very solid - fast. very. nothing works like this except I am guessing squats.

In the shower, I work my calves. Up down updownupdown! Target has a dvd kit for kids. While they are busy singing the Namaste song, I do crunches and squats. I also do a short set of squats while waiting for something on the stove. I stretch whenever I can, usually while listening to hear if they've actually gone to bed and one isn't joining the other in bed for more play time!

Basically, I fit it in throughout the day. As long as I sweat at some point each day, I'm good.

I've always had fat in my thighs and butt, despite my weight and excercise routine. Now I'm 40 with 3 small children and work full time. It's gotten so much worse and there is a lot of cellulite. Can you recommend anything I can do at home? Going for long runs or to a gym isn't an option but I can workout here before the kids wake up.
