There is a standard myth that says you can't remove fat from specific body areas by exercising them (because the fuel is taken from the general blood circulation, not from stores near the exercised muscle). In fact, this is rubbish.

If you train a particular bodypart hard, the skin there will turn pink.

That's because more blood is diverted into the skin there, to get rid of heat generated by the muscles underneath. Fat stored in that area will be more available to use as fuel, simply because of the extra blood flowing through.

The network of capillaries in your skin is constantly being improved in the areas that get the most blood flow. (this is called 'capillarisation') If you neglect a particular area, the capillary supply will reduce, at the same time as you're losing muscle strength, because all body systems adapt in the same way that muscle tissue does ("use it or lose it").

So if you regularly or frequently train the same bodypart more than others, more of your blood will spend more time there, and will be able to remove more fat. Your skin doesn't have to 'colour up' for this to happen; any muscle activity produces heat, and opens the capillary bed in the nearby skin.

It's NOT a quick process; think in terms of months and years, rather than days and weeks. It's about 'tipping the balance' in favour of fat loss, and in favour of particular bodyparts.

(you still need to exercise the rest of your body, otherwise you'd get fatter overall...)

In the Gym, the 'thigh abductor' machine targets the muscles over the outside of your hip. Using this machine more than the others will focus your capillarisation, and therefore your fat loss, in your hips.

Long-distance skating (often called 'speed skating) uses the muscles over your hip ('femoral abductors'), which are neglected by a lot of exercise systems. Judo and Karate (which use wide stances and powerful hip movements) use a lot of buttock and hip muscle.

Get a pilates machine with a cardio-board, the're well worth the money! You can exercise all parts of your body but are especially good for the legs and thigh and hips, you usually get videos with them showing you how to use the machine and the exercises for specific areas, I bought mine off e-bay second hand and it cost me £150, and its brilliant, money well spent!!!

where do u want to start. try holding weights in ur hands then move from side to side with them, also u can lie on ur back with u knees in the air and move down from side to side toucjing ur heels. arms u could use a can of beans at home for some bicep curls, and for the triceps kneel over something and have ur bicep paralel to the florr and push ur hand towards ur bum from ur chest but dont move the bicep bein paralel to the floor if u understand that, squats is the best way of exercisin the legs as it is what u do in every day life. hope that helps abit if u got any more questions give us a shout .

Squats are probably the best, High reps with low weight. Numerous sets 3 times per week. It'll take about 6 weeks to really se the difference.

Are you just sick of the regular diets were following the diet program finish the extra lbs are just coming and coming soon after finish the diet? Are you expertise the truth that as soon as your physique will get used to a diet program then this diet program gets significantly less efficient above time simply because your entire body adjusts to compensate?
