ok so currently for the last three months this is my exercise program. I am 5ft 113lbs. I have had two kids. my problem ares would be my tummy, butt and mostly thighs.
30 min of jump roping - i just bumped it up to 40 min this week.
then I will do a bunch of sit ups - different kids probably equaling about 300.
then each day I will rotate the following to do after my cardio and abs using 5lb weights:

day 1
3 sets of 20 reps of biceps
3 sets of 20 reps of shoulder
3 sets of 20 reps of another shoulder

day 2
3 sets of 20 for triceps
3 sets of 20 for another tricep
3 sets of 10 push ups

day 3
9 sets of 20 leg exercises 3 different kinds

day 4
windsor pilates

I average about 5 days a week or more.
I have not seen much of any results. I know i need to change my diet which will help and I will do but I think
that even when I do my workout isn't the best it should be.
I don't overeat but I could do better on eating better. I did switch to brown rice and I need to limit my desserts. I try to eat sugar free fudgesicles that are only 40 calories.

Any suggestions to a better fitness plan would be great!
 
looks like you're trying the right things. What about uping your cardio if you're looking for results in your thighs? Maybe taking a spinning class or a yoga class so you can tone different muscles? Or try increasing your weights?
 
What about combining days 1 and 2 and doing two days of legs? Also I've read that you need to let your abs rest (not do them everyday).

What is your diet like right now?

Good luck with your Program, I hope it works out for you! :)
 
I heard that if I change my routine every two weeks from light to medium to heavy then back again to light that it will help. Has anyone else heard that? I don't even get sore anymore which I was told means my body is too used to my work out.
 
I don't think this is a good routine at all. :eek:

If you've been doing this for the last three months, then it is time to switch your program anyway. A full body routine or a split routine (upper body one day, lower body/abs the next day) would be more beneficial.

I regularly post 5 tips to fat loss on this board. Here it is for you. Hope it helps!

1) Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Each meal should be 2-3 hours apart. Each meal should contain one protein and one carb. The first meal should be eaten within an hour after waking.


2) Drink a cup of water at each meal.


3) Rest properly. This means taking at least 48 hours between strength training the same muscles, and it also means getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Lastly, it means taking 1-2 days off from exercising per week.


4) Cardio. This should be done at different intensity levels and different session lengths. Consider doing a low intensity/long session, a high intensity/short session and a few medium intensity/medium length sessions.


5) Strength Training. Strength train each muscle 1-3 times per week. You should lift a proper weight and perform the proper amount of sets/reps for your strength training method. If you need more guidance or exercise ideas you can head over


All of the above things combined will result in fat loss.
