my legs are always the place i put on weight !! I hate it, and having just had a baby 3mths ago theyre soo bad now i need help before summer! im eating a healthy low white carb and high protein diet so my diets fine - whats better for shedding fat ? aerobics or running on the treadmill? i am sooo unfit at the min so i'm going to have to build up! also any leg exercises? i did some the other night (squats and toe raises) for 5mins and i could barely walk the next day so i'm just wondering how id go about doing cardio if my legs ache that bad aftr toning exercises!
any help appreciated! thanks
 
I have found that walking lunges and squats have really toned up my legs! I would suggest trying variations of lunges and squats in your exercise routine!

Are you looking for any specific part of your legs? Lower? Upper?

Calf raises are also good, and I find jumping rope and stairs work my leg muscles a lot!

You might want to try both working on cardio (jump rope, stairs, running) as well as incorporating strengthening training (lunges, squats) :)
 
I got lucky & got 2 hours with a personal trainer. I have health issues so I have to go slow to not hurt myself.. Anyway, she had me use a fitness ball & I do 3 sets of 10 squats as part of a circuit. I felt it in my inner & outer thighs, as well as my behind! You might try that.
I found 65 cm fitness balls for $9 at Marshalls. They come with a pump & a workout DVD.
