You dont tone saddle bags gurl - you lose em. That's my goal right now. I have a really fit upper body and my body tends to store fat in the lower half of my body. The thing is the first place you body stores fat easiest is going to be the last place ya lose it. You cant zone fat loss - i wish it was possible - you lose fat from all over. \n\nMake sure you do at least 30 minutes of cardio a day and try doing some weight training for your legs. If you have access to machines - try leg presses, extensions, curls, abductor and adductor machines. There are different pilaties moves you can doo ass well. \n\nTake a look at these pages \nhttp://www.ediets.com/news/article.cfm?cmi=1949377&cid=5\n\nhttp://www.efitness.com/news/article.cfm?article_id=18084&cid=3

Lunges and squats are good for your thighs and hamstrings.  Calf raises for your calves.

Squats, Lunges, and Leg Press are good for the entire leg. They work your quads, hams, and calves. Also, include cardio (walk/run, biking, etc.) and a proper diet to make sure you lose the fat.

Lunges and squats are very good exercises for the glutes. First of all, women will not build muscles like men, therefore, don't worry about building a huge derriere. Second of all, you want to do more reps for toning, anyway. Doing roughly 15 to 20 reps per exercise, or until you feel the burn, will greatly help out your goal.

I would definitely say Pilates. This exercise uses gravity to tone your muscles. One for the legs is:  Lay on your back, flat. Lift one leg in the air and make the letter P. That is just one example. I believe that Pilates is one of the best ways to TONE muscles, Not build

The elliptical machine is best. I reduced my hips and thighs in a month (working out on the elliptical for 25-35 min, 3 times a week).

Lots of protein intake followed by an excercise routine that concentrates on bun and thigh work.  Squats and Leg Presses are perfect for this.  High reps between 12-15 will tone and burn fat.  Low reps at 6-8 reps will generally increase strength and muscle tone.  Another good exercise would be the forward lunge with dumbbells, the added resistence w/the dumbbells is perfect for a finishing movement after Squats and Leg Presses.  It is scientifically proven that the key to success for any part of your body is through your leg and thigh development program.

There is an exercise called donkey kicks!  Get on all fours and kick your leg back extended all the way and then return leg to lower position, and also you can kick your legs sideways too.  It will tone your butt and also give you the curves that most women like. This trainer told my bestirred at the Gym about a year ago. and she looks Well let's just say I wouldn't mind you know....

Lots of cardio (4 days a week at least 45 minutes, shoot for higher), reduce your total calories, and perform step up lunges for 22-25 reps maybe higher. avoid using any heavy weights since your not trying to create a large muscular butt.

I used to work with a personal trainer. He told me the best exercises for your thighs are lunges and squats. Make sure you are doing them correctly, your knee should never go past your toes on your lead off foot, or they wont do anygood.

diet and exercise. More of the latter though. \nRunning is really great for toning up, getting great legs and your tummy will look fabulous. You need to cut out all sodas, processed foods, typical junk foods, etc. Up your water intake, eat 6 SMALL  BALANCED meals a day and do at least an hour + of excerise each day.

A really great way to beef up the bum is to do hyper extensions with weights. Do in sets of three-five ranging any where from 15-20 reps.  Leg Curls with a lot of weight. Concentrate on the Flex part of the exercise control on the way down, do more weight less reps. I can't tell you exactly because I don't know what your current range is. Squats are okay, but most people do them wrong. When squatting push from your heels also keep your feet slightly forward of your body toes pointing straight out. Concentrate on the push, really blast it out (going up) hold tension on the way down, (slowly return) Also, here more weight less reps. Also on squats you do not go all the way down you don't go more than 45 degrees. Going to far with out training can do harm. Work towards getting deeper don't just jump into it.\nStadiums are really good for your bum as well. If you have a school close by put some weights in a back back and start climbing the staduim bleachers they are great for the bum.\nxercizer@hotmail.com is my email. I am a trainer and have been for over 20+ years. If you need help feel free to write.

Try some push ups. They truly strengthen everything: your abs, arms, legs, inner soul (kiiiidding about that last one). You could also do some lunges. They really help strengthen your leg muscles.
