TONE YOUR GLUTES IN TWO MONTHS ALL IT TAKES: fifteen minutes, every other day WHAT YOU DO: reverse lunges, glute raises and kick backs IN FOUR WEEKS: Your fanny will be firmer IN EIGHT WEEKS: You'll feel more grace and power in your stride as you climb stairs, jog around the block, or hike up hills. REVERSE LUNGES: Stand tall with your feet hip-distance apart. Take a long step straight back with your right foot. Allow your right leg heel to come off the floor while keeping your weight balanced over your left leg. Looking forward with you back straight, slowly lower your body by bending at the knees until your left thigh is nearly parallel to the floor. Using the muscles in your rear, raise yourself to the starting position. After 12 repetitions, switch legs. Add a second set when the last few lunges become easy. GLUTE RAISES: Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat, and arms at your sides. Flex your glutes (butt muscles) and abdominal muscles as you evenly raise your pelvis eight inches off the floor. Hold for five counts, then slowly lower your rear to the floor. Do 12 repetitions. Add a set (another 12 repititions) once you can do the first easily. KICK BACKS: Starting on your hands and knees, lift your left knee a few inches off the floor and bring your lower leg up to a 90 degree angle. Raise your leg until your thigh is parallel with the floor. After holding that position for a second, gradually lower your leg. Try to maintain a 90 degree angle throughout the exercise. Do two sets of 12 for each leg the first 4 weeks, then add 2 more sets.

I forgot to mention that another good place to look for exercises and health articles is magazines. Here's a few: Fit, Health, Self, Shape, Walking, and Prevention.

I know there are lots of you out there who know that you should exercise, but you don't. You tell other to exercise, but don't do it yourself. Well, pick something that you like to do. Try getting some exercise videos. I like those a whole lot better than going outside and doing something, especially in the winter. There's taebo and kickboxing and yoga and pilates and walk off the weight with Leslie Sansone (for sale at Meijer for about $7), and weight lifting, and so much more. In my personal opinion, videos make exercising so much more fun. Of course there are some exercise videos that aren't very good. So you gotta shop around. I know most of you are like me and can't afford to shop around that much, so see if your local library has any exercise videos. That's where I first discovered Leslie Sansone. I think she's a good instructor. You can also go on amazon.com and search for exercise videos. They always come up with a lot. But if you'd prefer an exercise book, there's plenty out there. All you gotta do is look! So for all of you wanting to lose weight, go to the library and don't be embarrassed to ask for exercise stuff. God Bless!!!

I am not fit yet but if i still keep on doing what i am doing now ill be skinny soon!every morning i wake up at 6:00 AM and excersize on the treadmill for 20 mins. then i eat a little breakfast like cheese and an apple and thats enough till i get to school then at school what they give me ill eat only half of it or just get salad with no dressing dressing is were that fat is you can eat 100 vegatbles and only gain 500 calories! but u would be full before u did that. also i ate slower it takes 20 mins for your brain to know when ur full so eat slow dont eat only veggies though it isnt healthly only eat veggies between meals for a snack or somethin. Then once i got home i did another 20 mins. and eat veggies between meals then when dinner comes i eat only half of what mom gives me. and dont eat much bread it is VERY fatty! well trie this out u could loose so many pounds.

Hi.. I'm sad because no one replied to me. I'll tell you what I ate today, and please tell me if its good, because I figured out if I lost 3 pounds a week, I'll be at my goal when I go to California in May or June. Okay, so This morning I had about Two oranges Lunch- I had a plate full of carrots and celery, an orange, and some water. Dinner- I ate a little less than a cup of chilie on a very small baked potato. Thanks, I really need this help, because I've been fat all my life and I want to know what its like to be thin..
