[Anonymous]

I'm 17 134, I have an hour glass figure I'm really small on my waist and stomach so I really want to work on my thighs, calves and butt but I love my butt so I don't want to lose it I just want it tone & tighter any inexpensive diet plans,or easy timeless workouts,i do squat and this really fun easy zumba waist move in the shower You like move side faster while pushing your butt and stomach out while you circle. and I've seen little results but yea I just want some good cheap healthy foods or meals you could get at like walmart or a fresh grocery store so please leave good easy workouts and means (breakfast,lunch,dinner,snacks) I love healthy foods so don't worry about picking veggies and fruits,the problem is my house doesn't always have them so I want to know so affordable good ones that will last sometime for about 2 weeks if possible THANKS SO MUCH! xo

If have an hour glass figure I'd say you are already fine as is ;)

Anyway you want to watch your calories, lower them to about 1600-1800 per day and don't eat pork meat. For workouts you want to do something that requires a lot of energy, running or cycling for example (cycling burning calories real fast). Be sure to get enough proteins though, otherwise your body will start eating your muscles instead of fat.

What I used to eat was yoghurt and blend it with fruit. I ate this for breakfast and before I went to bed, then had regular meals at lunch and dinner. It's easy really if you like yoghurt blended with fruit ;)

haha why thank you (;

What food have a lot of proteins that are good for you?

As for eating yogurt,i have the hardest time eating breakfast bcs I always feel sick after wards but I wouldn't ming it any other time of the day (:

Yeah I didn't really like yoghurt at breakfast either... If you don't want to eat it when you wake up lunch and in the evening is also good.

Anyway the if you eat half a liter of yoghurt per day you should be fine on the proteins (that's the main reason of eating the yoghurt anyway). So that's 2 glasses a day blended with fruit ;)

And ofcourse excersise ;) one hour a day is enough, just pick a sport you like (has to be one where you are physically active).

lol,breakfast is just not my thing if I ever do eat it I'm usually forcing myself bcs I know its bad not to,that and the fact my stomache is so loud during class growling!ahah. relaly just an hour?i usually do 3hrs of a mixed workout from running up and down the stairs -sit ups.

[LegacyNL]

Yeah breakfast sucks -...- I usually eat no more then one slice of bread either, but then again I eat like 4 during lunch ^^

Well if you want to do more go ahead. Just make sure it are cardio excersises. Because if you do things like fitness, if you do it longer than one and a half hour it will start eating muscle because the tissue get's to damaged.

But yeah if you do cardio stuff 3 hours a day and adjust your food a bit you should be fine ;)

actually swimming itself will make your body tighter

theres no way you can target weight loss by the way

just eat lighter than usual and instead of having large meals break that down into smaller snacks and do some jogging. also do some sit ups/crunches to help with toning, combine this with some swimming and you will see results

[Asker]

I know swimming will help its self but I want to look good in the swimsuit itself lol,i do swimming at school so I just want to look good,or better

There's no such thing as really fun or easy. It takes hard work to firm up your midsection, and you'll have to resign yourself to losing at least part of it! Your behind, I mean.
