oh and one more thing, once the 2.5 weeks are up, you shouldn't stop exercising. i assume that you want to tone yourself for school, which is good. but if you don't keep exercising you will put on what you lost. hope i helped [ barthez4's advice column | Ask barthez4 A Question ]

cailoisa answered Monday August 16 2004, 10:25 pm: Drink lots of water and cut out the empty calories (soda, chips...). Do lunges and cruches like mad. Also try leg lifts, lie on your back lift your legs slightly off the floor, and hold them there, or lift them slowly as high as you can, then very slowly back down.

hi_im_belize answered Monday August 16 2004, 9:58 pm: maybe sign up for some pilates classes, my mom teaches them and that sounds exactly like what pilates targets. If not, work on doing sit ups, and for the top of your legs they have this thing called a "fitness circle" check for it online its a round metal circle thing you put between your legs and squeeze. If you cant find it i suggest you use an dodge ball and just put it between you legs and squeeze and relax and squeeze and relax. Keep doing it youll feel the burn lol. PS do those every day twice and im sure your see results. [ hi_im_belize's advice column | Ask hi_im_belize A Question ]
