The best work out for you would be Tai Chi.

Don't jog.  Do lots of leg exercises.\n\nSquats\nisometrics (sit against the wall without the chair, 60 secs.)\ncalf raises (lots)\nshort sprints (all out 20-40 yards)\njump up to and down from a bench (hops)\nJump rope\nLunges\nstrength training for power (heavy weight, low rep)\nAbdominals (crunches, sit-ups, leg lifts...)

There is no QUICK way.  Especially since Thanksgiving is next week.  Crunches/sit ups are the only thing I know that work. Belly dancing is also good. See link below:

Yes you can tone your whole body with weight training, it burns calories as it builds muscles. All stretches, resistance do the same. Just do lots of repetitions with light weight or no weight for that matter. 12 reps done 3 times of each of several exercises will do the trick. Calves, thighs, butt. Do lunges, to the front and to the rear, also do squats, with feet shoulder width apart and also with feet close together add dumb bells to increase results, get on hands and knees and stretch one leg straight out back of you and about 1" from floor and lift it slowly as far as you can and lower it again, both legs, work up slow you will get sore, also on hands and knees extend leg behind you then draw it back, bending knee and bring knee into chest.

I've found that if you go for a long time (at least 40 minutes) and do a hill or random setting, you'll get a more complete workout. And don't use the stationary handles. Using the moving hand things works your arms as well as your legs and gets your overall heart rate up more.

Do high intensity cardio. It wont burn muscle and it will burn more fat. Do it really intense. Not the slow jogging cardio that you might have tried for an hour or more. Do high intensity for 20-25 mins! It will be enough and it keeps burning for alot more time after youre done. Ive read alot about this so try one of the sites: \nhttp://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp\n\nIf you want more info just search for HIIT training of just HIIT on google.

If you're not sweating and you don't feel like your lungs are working hard you are probably not doing enough. You would be better off working out for 30 minutes at a higher intensity. Every body is different and I can't tell you what is going to work for YOU, but bottom line is you need to listen to your body. I would try maybe running, either on a treadmill or just on the street, and make sure you are working at a level appropraiate for you. Ignore the machine's readings. People get too caught up in that and they are so general. You need to raise your body temp enough to break a sweat and you need to be breathing hard enough that you can still carry on a conversation but feel like you would rather not. That's the rule that I use and it works for me.

I also think exercise is the only way to tone muscles. Or electrical stimulation, if you have some money to spend.\n\nIn your situation, isotonic contractions of the muscles in the stomach area might help. That means that you contract your abdomen muscles and keep them contracted for a while (the longer the better) while u do ur usual stuff, talk to people etc. The method is far from being fast, but I think you will have some additional benefits (as for any other exercise, the brain will probably release serotonine, which is a hormone that makes you feel happy).\n\nOtherwise you should ask a trained professional - kynetotherapist or the like. Good luck and all the best to you! And all my respect for what you try to do.

The first exercise I would recommend is aerobics. \nBuy The Step. Target has them, and other stores.\nWhen you wake up, step up and down 5-15 minutes.\nBefore you go to bed, step up and down for another 5-15 minutes.\n\nThis exercise will get your metabolism up as well as your emotions up. There will be further exercises you can do, but this will get you started. Write to me if you want to discuss further exercises.

definately leg lifts.  lay on your back and lift your legs 6 inches off the ground all the while breathing.  that is key.  \n\nanother one is to lay on your stomach and rest your body on your forearms and then lift up.  like a push up but your forearms stay on the flat ground.  put your toes up and hold while breathing for as long as you can.  \n\nstomach cruches are great.  like a sit up, but you only come up half way.

Strength training - push your self where you are almost out of breathe and hold. next week add more weight and do less reps. Then jog through your neighborhood, find a hill sprint up and then job back down but never fully recover.

For a total body workout, few exercises beat the push up. It strengthens your arms and chest muscles, but it also tones your abs as it stabilizes your core muscles. For legs and lower body muscles, try jogging or doing squats. All of these workouts are relatively easy once you get going and they will give you a great start towards better physical fitness.

Cardio, like cycling and jogging is good, but to tone your thighs up, try doing squats. Pilates is great tlo do at home and targets thighs bums and your stomach. You could also try yoga.

I suggest an exercise bike, because you can work out at a high intensity on it while watching TV, it provides a good workout for your lower body, and you can find them at whatever price fits your budget.  Another good choice would be an elliptical trainer, but these tend to be more expensive.  You can set the incline and resistance on these to specifically target thighs or hip.  Here is a good intro to choosing an elliptical trainer:\n\nhttp://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/equipment/elliptical.htm\n\nI wouldn't suggest a treadmill, because it would be hard to run on it unless you devote your full attention, and if you walk on it at a lower intensity, it probably won't help very much in toning your lower body.
