Help me with my New Years resolution please? :)

[fsugirl13]

I really want to get toned and in shape this year, so I'm making it my main goal.

I'm not over weight, but I'm definitely out of shape.

I'm 5'7 and I weigh 118.

Can anyone help me come up with an exercise routine or something? I don't want bulk, I just want to be tight and slender.

Like a dancers/cheerleaders body or a Victoria secret body. I don't want to be exactly like aVS model because I think they're a little too skinny, but I want to be long and lean :)

Help? Thanks

5'7 and 118? I'd say you do need to bulk up. I'm not really sure what you want. You say you're not overweight (you're correct) but want to be "long and lean". Do you want to lose more weight? Not sure how to get leaner without losing weight.

You want a dancer/cheerleader body but don't want to bulk? If you want to gain decent muscle you need to bulk at least a little. I know a lot of girls are afraid of losing their femininity by gaining too much muscle. However from the girls I've seen who are trying to seriously bulk, there is no way you'll accidentally gain too much muscle.

At your height/weight I don't think you can get your body firmer unless you bulk a little. Maybe some high-impact cardio (kickboxing, P90X, fast swimming) in addition to making sure you're eating enough for your body to gain muscle would be good. I know a lot of girls don't want to "bulk" by hitting the heavy weights at the gym.

5'7 and 118 lbs. DOES sound skinny.

But if you want to be even leaner, I'd recommend running. Start out with a beginner level 5k program, then intermediate, and then advanced. Then work your way up to running a 10k.

Thanks! I'm mainly soft haha.. not really fat but I'd like to firm up some of my squish :P

But I'll try the running!

Running works the fastest. Aim for at least 30+ minutes of cardio a day. And make sure you're eating properly (drink plenty of water and enough protein).

Run. If you do a couple miles a day, you'll slim down fairly quickly.
