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

wow this is me… I keep popping up in other peoples’ posts, this is so weird!

for the record, I don’t really ever work out my legs… I do a massive amount of walking in day to day life though

Best thing I have ever seen!!!

This is the best thing I have ever seen.

So much love for this.

Flight from Knoxville to Dallas is delayed which means I get to chill at Ruby Tuesday and drink. The McGhee-Tyson airport has to be the most laidback and stress free airport experience ever. Love this little airport.

1- anyone know how to ask to have boxes shipped the slower, cheaper way (by boat) rather than by plane? I’ve had the post office guy explain it to me before but I want to make things easier for him. He had to draw pictures last time.

2- anyone want a nice digital photo frame? The kind that you…

Just be sure to check the surface mail box on the form. I think it’s in the upper right corner if I remember correctly. The form should be in English.

You can only ship boxes 1-5 via surface mail. Not #6! It’s too big.

Each box shouldn’t cost more than ~35,000. If it costs significantly more than that, your postal boy isn’t doing surface mail. It is based on weight but even my heaviest boxes weren’t much more than ~35,000.

Be sure to tape the hell out of each box. Especially the corners! Surface mail is really rough on your packages. It should take 1-1.5 months for your stuff to arrive.

I should know. I’m the surface mail queen as I shipped 25 (!!!) boxes when I was leaving Korea.

You have to know someone who is involved in that scene to be invited. I know that there are plenty of swingers in Korea but it’s just a matter of finding the right people.

I simply don’t get some of the blogs.

I was always a non-conflict person. I grew up respecting others and being respected by them.

The truth is I never really cared about how someone looks, what race is he /she and what kind of coffee they tend to drink.

I was a big…

When I come across things like this, I just have to remind myself that everyone is on a different journey. Some people aren’t as far along as me and that’s okay because we all have to start somewhere. I think it’s up to those people who are further along to have “courageous conversations” with people who are just starting their journey. I suck at that but I recently participated in a program that could be really useful.

Casey Family Programs has a FREE eLearning module called Knowing Who You Are. It’s the prerequisite to their in-person training and anyone can register for the eLearning course. It’s a great starting point for people to begin with because it covers EVERYTHING.

I’m on my phone and can’t link properly but just Google- Casey Family Programs Knowing Who You Are and it should pop right up.

OK apparently it comes with stickers. I am totally buying this. From Gmarket. I am too embarrassed to buy this in a store!

How can I get this?! Help meeeeee.

I think you can buy it on yesasia or kpoptown

Oh my. You’re totally right! I’m going to order this and maybe a bunch of other carp when I get home from my mani/pedi. Thanks for the suggestion!^^

My mom still lives in the same house that I grew up in. I don’t think she’ll ever live anywhere else.

I came home to find that my mom has thrown out my desk, shelf, and Gary’s giant cat tree. At least she kept all of my belongings but it did make me realize that I have SO MUCH SHIT here. What the hell. I haven’t lived here since 2005!

Maybe I really am a mini-hoarder.

So! I’m determined to go through and get rid of a bunch of crap. I need to get to unfucking my habitat.

sequinedstrawberries replied to your post: All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go.

Are you guys a couple now? Cause you seemed to be wanting couple-dom before with the last one but he didn’t, and now you have got this guy who, seems to really like you, but you never talk about him~~~~ I’m curious~~~~

Ahhhh, this is such a difficult thing to answer because I’m still trying to figure out what I want.

We definitely act like a couple and he straight up refers to me as his girlfriend. We never discussed our relationship though so it’s not official in my book. I’m certainly not saying he’s my boyfriend. I prefer to say that we’re “dating”.

He really likes me and wants to be with me and thinks that I’m beautiful and is super kind/generous to me and and and and. Uggghhhh. He’s a really nice guy and I’m very lucky to have him in my life.

He’s a good looking guy but….I’m just not into the sex. AT ALL. We banged again and it was muuuuuch better than the first time. But I haven’t been able to have sex with him again. What’s wrong with me?! I just can’t get into it.

I enjoy hanging out with him and am grateful to have him in my life. I just hope I can start enjoying the sex because I can tell it makes him sad that I’m not into it.
