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.

There are some hip adduction exercises you could do to just tone up that area (not too much weight).. The gym I visit has machines like this: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/HipAdductors/LVSeatedHipAdduction.html .. As for your glutes I would suggest squats but there are lots of other things you could do to help that area too such as straight leg deadlifts and so on.. Try going to the FT menu under "ft Exercise Resources" then "Muscle Targeting" and pick "Thighs & Glutes" there are many exercies listed on page 3 for different parts of your thighs and glutes.. As for the love handles all I really can say is to get on a good diet and lower your bodyfat.. can't really spot reduce one area..

If you want your inner thighs to look toned you have to loose the fat first (we women often got more fat in there than elsewhere!!!) To tone your buttocks you should do deep squats and lots of lunges. Great exercises with great results but be ready to sweat and wanting to say nasty words to your neighboors while doing it (o: since it's rather hard and it can hurt! Building lean muscle mass, doing some cardio and watching your diet and then your love handles will disappear. Good luck!!! -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
