With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I work out on a regular basis and do muscle building exercises, but can't seem to get rid of the stubborn fat around my hips and rear. I walk every day and eat pretty well. I don't want an exercise that will cause me to lose too much weight since I'm pretty small to begin with. Does anyone know how to add significant muscle to my glutes and lose the flab? This has always been a problem area for me, and for once I want my butt to look good in a swimsuit, as silly as it sounds. Help please!

Try looking in the female discussion forum for any threads with glutes in them. Good luck and welcome to FT! -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.

It seems to me a lot of women and girls I know that are dieting don't even think about it. If you're looking to get more toned and add some muscle, it's definitely something you should think about. Like Mojo said: Squats, lunges, and I highly recommend deadlifting. Just learn the forms so not to injure yourself. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
