Is running the best thing?

[Anonymous]

well I'm not fat, but I'd like to get toned. I like the shape of my body as it is, and I don't want huge bulky muscles. I just want to make my legs slimmer and my stomach flatter. I don't want to lose my boobs though, and I know that you do when you exercise. so is running for half an hour along with fifty sit ups good to do everyday?

i'd say throw some weights in there. Girls are always scared of getting bulky. This won't happen unless you use heavey weights like guys. Pick wieghts that you can do the selected exercise at least 15 times. you won't get big.. you will get toned.

Using weights burn more calories than just running. You want to be in a caloric deficit to get toned/cut

if I was your trainner I would say do weights first then run for 30 min every other day

or

run for 1 hour next day do wieghts... and alternate... have sat and Sunday as rest days... then start cycle over

anything else just ask...

best of luck :)

Walking works good too and, unlike running, it doesn't beat the crap out of your body as you move along.

Watch what you eat. Don't eat junk food and eat healthy. Losing weight will include losing some of your boobs but if your boobs are naturally big on your body now they'll be big on your body when you lose the weight too. But yes cardio and abs is a good way to get more toned. Try crunches, planks, and doing the bicycles too for abs :)

Watch what you eat. And any cardio work outs are really good.

Excercising is good stuff. Lots of V8 too.
