I want to loose 5 lb,
does any1 know any tips on toning thighs and calves? =] These are my "chunky" spots, hehe

Answer
Well, exercise (particulary cardio) is a perfect way to tone - some ideas are...
Run
- you burn many calories, (especially if you add hills and sprints)
- A 145-lb person can burn 300 (at 5.2 mph) in 30 minutes.

Bike
- 250-500 calories in 30 minutes, depending on how fast you go and how high your resistance is.
- you use all the power in your legs for this too :)

Swimming
- you use your whole body
- 30 minutes doing breast-stroke and can burn almost 400 calories.

Step Aerobics
- Step is one tough workout that targets your legs, butt and hips while burning almost 400 calories in 30 minutes

Walking
- 180 calories in 30 minutes. Adding hills, sprints or even a few minutes of jogging can increase the amount of calories you burn.
- walk briskly
- keep you head up, back straight and swing your arms.

Cardio is also good as...
It's one way to burn calories and help you lose weight
It makes your heart strong so that it doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood
It increases your lung capacity
It helps reduce risk of heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes
It makes you feel good
It helps you sleep better
It helps reduce stress

im not quite looking at pills for weight loss. just plain exercising if i need to lose weight

Answer
Drink lots of water and green tea (cause they 1) fill you 2) have barely any calories 3) speed up your metabolism [but the water will have to be cold for this, green tea is fine at any temperature to speed your metabolic rate])

Exercise

Dont eat 4 hours before you sleep - your metabolic rate slows down as you sleep

Read the calorie labels

Set realistic goals

Identify your ideal weight (this table will tell you - http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.htm
)

Get at least 7 hours of sleep a night to raise your metabolism
