tone the muscle with striength training, mantain but don't build if you don't want more muscle eat more protien and less fats and carbs.  Make sure you take a good vitamin supplement I'd reccomend crunches or situps for tummy legs toned would be leg lifts the straight up ones on your side and the ones where you put your food over our leg and lift up and do the inside of the leg.  Squats, also for lower abdomen take your legs, cross them and slowly lower then down hover over gound and lift them back up make sure they are straight out.  thoes exercises where you are on all fours legs out to the side you can lift them out to the back out to the side.

I watched the Tyra Banks show, and she was talking about how all the models do it in bed..What they do, is lay on their backs, and put their legs up as high as possible... and do the scissors, the pretend bike riding... then you put your knees up high and squeeze up your buttocks, up as high and hold your booty up there as long and hard as possible. not only is this good for your buttocks, but your hips, & thighs, as well.. Then you can do any kind of exercise with those legs up in the air.. Just work them as long and hard as you can until you break out in a sweat, and then repeat this for a couple of nights! And girl you are going to see "RESULTS!!" Immediately!! I did, but I was hit by a car, and have alot of arthritis, and was in agony, after about 1 week, of these exercises! So , I had to take a break from doing it, but I will be going back to doing them, they are that effective, and quick results!! I promise you, you will be feeling the results the very next day!! You Just Go Girl!!! Smile!!!

Lay flat on your stomach and lift each leg (keep leg straight out).  It works out your gluts.

Do it properly and yes. But remember, there are a number of small and forgotten muscles on your tush. So do squats, lifts, lunges, side leg lifts, etc. work 'em all!

Absolutely.\n\nBody Shaping Exercise - Butt and Thigh Toning and Exercising\nButt and Thigh Toning and Exercising\n(http://www.virtualfitnesstrainer.com/articles/Butt_and_thigh_toning.htm) \n\nYou will be happy to know that you are not the only one out there who wants to tone their butt and thighs into shape. How often, though, is it that you start a toning program for your butt and thighs and find your butt and thighs actually grow instead of shrink! This situation has a tendency to put people off training because they don't get the results they expect. \n\nWhy You have Problems Reducing Your Butt and Thighs Size? \n\nThe reason that you have so many problems trying to rid yourself of your thighs and butt is because these areas are main storage areas for body fat. For women reducing these areas can drive you nuts! The reason for having these fat storage areas is to assist us in times of survival. What?! You say? Let me put it this way. Say you were stuck out in the middle of nowhere with no food, and just water. Your body would, after a while, start "kicking into your body fat storage" to help you survive, because you are not consuming any food. In the case of women during pregnancy if this occurred you would be "surviving for two" - thus the larger fat storage area.\n\nHow Eating the Wrong Food Effects Your Butt and Thigh Size\n\nThe size increase in your butt and thigh areas can depend on the type of program you are performing and what you are eating. To start with if your body fat storage areas tend to be around your butt and thighs you need to be very careful of the extra bits and pieces you snack on. You can bet that most of the time when you consume extra calories and fat it will go straight to your thighs and butt. \n\nHow Performing the Wrong Exercises Effects Your Butt and Thigh Size \n\nThen there is exercise. What you need to know is that there are workouts to increase the size in your butt and thighs and workouts to re-shape and reduce the size of your butt and thighs. \n\nWHICH EXERCISES ARE YOU PERFORMING? \n\nSure it's fine to say "I am going to tone by butt and thighs" but if you are using a program that may not be correct for your body type you can easily, and unintentionally, increase the size of both of them! \n\nHow to Reduce Your Butt and Thigh Size! \n\nFat Burning Exercise\nFat burning exercise is a great way to help reduce the size of your thighs and butt. To start with try walking or using the treadmill. Bikes or cycling are great too just as long as you keep the resistance to an absolute minimum. Why!? Because often when first starting an exercise program your musclegrowth is easily stimulated, which means if you include too much resistance in your fat burning exercise you may promote muscle growth and size.\n\nToning Exercise \n\nIt is important that you perform a full body workout, rather than just concentrating on your butt and thighs. Perform an exercise on each body part using light weights and high reps on your lower half. One of the best ways to ensure you are re-shaping your body with the correct workout, especially if you are pear shaped, is to look into getting a program designed for you. It is well worth your while and it will save you allot of frustration. \n\nLow Fat Eating Program \n\nI know you think low-fat eating is boring but it's not. Although if you choose to make it boring and choose not to experiment with low fat foods then I guess it would be. There are so many wonderful ways to eat the supposed "fast foods" as "low in fat". Over the years I have gone out of my way to make an effort to find new and exciting ways of cooking low-fat tasty meals. There are so many options out there if you only look. \n\nA low fat "simple to follow eating program" is vital when re-shaping your body and will determine whether or not you achieve your re-shaping program goals. Your workout/s and eating program work hand in hand to

Yes, you should keep your abdomen tight so it is flat and then use the muscles in your lower back to pull the back of your waist forward.  This will also let your butt fill out your jeans nicely.  If not ...your butt will be flat and from the side view you will not have the curves.   \n\n  So , shoulders back , head up, tummy flat, back in, butt out ..\nthere you go, now you got it !!!

a serious answer from TOUCHY.\n\ncardio and toning (firming) exercises is best. by toning, i mean using light weight or your own body weight in doing squats, lunges, etc. you may have heavy thighs due to genetics. can't do much if this is the case.

Proper nutrition is the best way to remove fat from anywhere on your body.  However, the best exercises to give your butt, hips, and thighs great shape and muscle tone are LOTS and LOTS of squats and lunges, done in every direction:  front, side, and walking lunges; and regular, wide, and plie squats.  Running (or walking, if you can't run) stairs or hills is also great.

Unfortunately you cant just lose fat from your abdomen and nowhere else. This is a myth called 'spot reduction'. \nJust doing abdominal exercises will not get you a flat toned stomach or sixpack, a combination of cardio, resistance exercises and a healthy diet will, but this will apply to the whole of your body and ultimetly comes down to percentage body fat and calorie expenditure.
