Lift weights........Squats will help.  Remember to contract your tummy ( a relaxed contraction!) before squatting this helps to keep your lower back flat.  Do sets of 15 to 20 reps. Squat until parallel.  Also leg extensions, lunges, leg curls and the leg press are great as well.  \n\nRemember to use a full range of motion with each rep and take your time - do not jerk the weight.......nice, easy, controlled, and smooth reps.\n\nAlso remember to stretch before during and after!  This will  minimize soreness, improve flexibility, and improve the shape of your legs too!\n\nYou will have some great legs!\n\nGood luck!

Hi, as everyone around will tell you "You look great!" - deep inside we always find something that still need work.  That's great that you keeping your weight off and exercising but the only real excise you need right now is WALKING!\n\nThat will make your legs,hips, butt and tummy back into shape.  Resistance training and moderate aerobic exercise if you can but the first option is free and you can do it anytime.\n\nDrink plenty of water, sometime dairy products make you bloated as well so just have a look at your eating patten and if you try not to take dairy for few days - don't forget take calcium supplement.  \n\nWork with your body, you are on the right track!

Typically, you cannot spot reduce, but gaining muscle mass into the abdominal area, which includes such muscles as; rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and external/interal obliques will change that flabby skin to a leaner, more defined look. \nThen you should also include eating healthy and in moderation.  Food intake can have a 65% factor on weight loss but don't leave out cardio and all around body training with weights.\nstick to the program, dedicate one hour a day/5 days a week.\nYou will see changes, normally give yourself about 3 months.\ncheers

cut out your fatty foods and walk a lot. walking is the best..when you get what you want from walking then you can do other exercises like in the gym. good luck..but your food is the major issue.

Just exercise and take your time to get back into shape...that "extra" skin will go away...you may not ever have the flat tummy you once had, but you certainly will "shed" the gummy extra skin that you have right now.  I can remember how mortified I was following my first child...but it will get better : )  Enjoy your little one, he will grow up fast!!!

Well, firstly, chicks do occasionally like a bit of a belly, so don't worry too much. \n\nBut, if you really hate it, then quite simply, you need to go on a diet. Eat little and often, rather than eating a lot in three meals, and cut out the booze, that itself will make the weight drop off you! Don't snack on crisps and sh*t like that, instead, eat crackers and rice cakes. \n\nExercise-wise, just be more active, go for a run every so often etc.\n\nIt will soon come off.

You can't get rid of fat in a particular area of your body.  You have to lose weight all over.  Two pounds a week is realistic.  Cut out salt (this means cutting down on prepared foods--read the labels), eat smaller helpings, eat more veggies, much less starch and no sugar.  Exercise to keep your body's metabolism from dropping into starvation mode.  You have to change eating habits.  Drink milk, but make it skim.  Pile ice in a glass, squeeze lemon or lime juice over it and sip it as it melts, that's your new snack food.  Don't starve yourself, just pick low calorie, filling foods.  And don't skip breakfast.  If you can't live with your eating plan, you won't keep the weight off.  It's going to be like this from now on.  Trim fat off meats and skin off chicken.  You can occasionally enjoy the foods you really like--such as fried chicken--if you cut back on your normal intake of calories and make a habit of it.  Good luck.

first off, how much do u weigh and what is your height?\nif you are overweight or if u are plump but of healthy weight, then u could try doing cardio everday (brisk walking or jogging) for about 30-40mins and sensible eating. If u are slim or once you have reached the weight/size u're happy with, then start working with weights for your whole body (spot reducing is a myth) to tone up. i've been told that working with weights while still plump or overweight will only add bulk. In my case, its my thighs i hate. So try focus on losing a little weight before u hit the gym.

Lunges and squats are the very best for your bum, however if you have some flab or excess weight, you are not going to be able to spot train, you will have to do some cardio exercise to sweat the fat off and watch your diet. Best of luck to you and your bum.

Walk or run outside several times a week, it's free. Try going up and down a few flights of steps each time too. Crunches or situps on the days you don't run--- it'll help flatten your tummy.  Pushups to tone your arms.  Or.... pop in a great CD or organize your favorite MP3s into a collection that has some peppy songs you can dance to and make up your own aerobics routing.  All kinds of thins to do, the hardest part is getting motivated to do it!! Good luck!

Eat protein & exercise to build bulk. Otherwise you'll just be fat & flabby in the long run.

You cannot slim down your butt and thighs only - you have to just try to lose weight from your whole body through doing cardio workouts - fast walking, running, biking, etc.\n\nYou can tone those areas, but it is generally not recommended to only focus on the toning of one area of the body - you don't want to have nice and toned legs with a really skinny chicken-like arms.  A whole body workout is necessary to slim down your trouble areas.  \n\nGenetics also plays a part.  If you've done a lot of cardio, and are losing weight in all areas of your body but not as much in your butt and thigh area, you make just be naturally inclined to gain weight in those areas and there is nothing non-surgical that you can do about that.

exercise ... if you want to flatten stomach you need to loose fat.  You can't necessarily loose fat on one focused area of body. \n\nSitups are pretty good at TONING the muscles that are there; but you won't see any of that with fat overtop the muscles.  \n\nWalk and moderate your meals/snacks.  Establish a healthy life style ... you'll see a flatter tummy eventually.

I know this sounds silly, but take Saran Wrap and wrap the area(s) you want to slim down.  Exercise with this on and those wrapped areas will sweat more than the other areas.  It does help; I've tried it before.

I'm assuming you mean "legs."  There is no way that you can make your legs grow fatter.  If you eat a lot, all of you will probably get fatter.  Although some people have very skinny legs no matter how fat they are.\n\nYou can, however, make your legs more muscular by exercising.  Bike riding, stair climbing, leg lifts. Go to GOOGLE.COM, enter "leg excercise". You will find many.\n\nAs for the making them smoother part:  Exfoliate them with a wash cloth when you bathe. You can even use a soft brush.  This will take off the dead skin cells. These dead skin cells is what makes your legs look ashy.  Always put lotion on your legs.  If you can stand it, put baby oil on them at night if you don't want to look greasy all day.  You can also use oils that contain vitamins.   Any type of oil will do; you can even use cooking oil.  As a matter of fact, petroleum jelly also works.
