Think of these steps as a dance rather than a linear progression. Move from one to another and back again as fits your own personal style and journey.

Stop weighing yourself. Shift your focus from weight & body fat to healthy…

I just wanted to make this to show people that what they may think is effective for weight loss actually isn’t. The first picture was taken after a week or so of heavy restricting and binging. The second picture was taken after a week of healthy eating & exercise.
Start treating your body with love. Nourish yourself and you’ll see results. I promise.

HEY. SEE WHAT IT SAYS AT THE TOP? SAME. WEIGHT. Scale means nothing. Point and case.

TRUTH.

You have no idea how much this post just encouraged me. I’ve been the same weight since I started this weight loss but my measurements have changed and I don’t look so pudgy. I wanted to give up cause the weight on the scale really wasnt moving at all. THIS was what I needed. ^^

This, always, screw the scale!

1. Don’t allow yourself any negative thoughts. You are capable of amazing things.
2. Only positive thoughts about your body. It is beautiful in its uniqueness, it takes you everywhere and does incredible things for you. It deserves your love and trust.
3. Loving and trusting your body enables respect. Respect allows you to act on the signals your body gives you.
4. Respecting, loving, and trusting your body allows you to listen to it more closely. Let it tell you when you’re hungry, what you’re craving, when you’re full, when it is energetic, when it’s worn out.
Full circle—accepting, loving, and respecting your body leads to better choices. Only you know how your body feels and what it needs. Learning how much you can trust it gives you an even stronger sense of positivity, peace, and acceptance.

Get Your Best Legs
First know that you can’t reduce fat in just one place. Your body takes a little bit of fat from everywhere, more or less in some places due to your genetics. Doing a ton of leg exercises isn’t necessarily going to make all that fat disappear, at least not by itself. We do these exercises to shape and tone the muscles so your legs have a great shape. If you aren’t eating healthy and doing cardio those sexy muscles are going to be hidden no matter how many squats you do. Gaining muscle helps, it increases the metabolism thus burning more calories, but you have to work the rest of your body and have a clean diet too.
Try to do one video or pick five exercises and do 3 sets of 8-12 reps (or until you feel the burn) about 3-4 days a week. Do cardio 3-5 days a week too, it can be running, biking, swimming, Zumba, kickboxing, whatever gets your heart pounding and sweat dripping. You can combine strength workouts and cardio into the same day if you want. Make sure to eat protein after your workouts, it helps build muscle!
These are, in my opinion, the best thigh and leg exercises and videos. I’ve included links to instructions for most of the exercises and a variety that you can do at home or at the gym. If you workout at home try to get some 8-10 lbs dumbbells, or get a backpack/duffel bag and fill it with heavy books to challenge yourself.
If you have access to a gym try these machines & equipment:
the leg/hamstring curl machine
the leg press machine
the leg abductor/adductor machines
squats with a barbell and/or dumbbells
barbell deadlifts
lunges with dumbbells
bulgarian split squat
If you don’t have access to a gym try these exercises at home:
wall squats
jump squats
bridge/hip lifts (try them with your feet on a chair/bed)
hip lifts on a balance ball (you’ll get an almost instant burn!)
leg lifts
inner thigh lifts
the fire hydrant
sumo squats
suicides
These are my favorite leg videos:
Inner Thigh Insanity
Slimmer Inner Thighs
Legs & Thighs Workout
Itty Bitty Bikini
Long Lean Legs Workout
POP Kicks Kickboxing
Bikini Beach Bum
Tone It Up Legs & Core
