aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Sunday January 2 2005, 12:17 am: Here's a site that gives you your body mass index and it tells you comments if you are over/underweight or average--> [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Once you get there, click on "Am I Fat?" on the left side bar. It should be the third one from the top. All you need to type in is your height and weight and there ya go. As for working out: try playing some sports, running, jogging, walking, etc. If you go to a local gym, they could probably give you some ideas. Good luck =) [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]

I find my maximum weight on the leg curl machine. then i take 10 pounds less than that and to a 3 sets of 10. ( that is 10 times. rest. 10 more times. rest. 10 final times.) I do this sitting up. and laying down. that will give you a really strong workout.
To do squats. find your maximum (the heaviest you can possibly lift) and then take 60% of it. that is how much you should squat. What you do is put your feet shoulder width apart and stick your butt out with your back straight as you slowly squat down. come back up slowly also. <b> make sure you have someone spot you or else you could seriously hurt yourself. </b>
this is all the advice i have. sorry if i wrote too much.

Alin75 answered Saturday January 1 2005, 10:48 pm: Ok, I can help you with the excercise part of your question. Instead of explaining I will give you a really good link: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Now, you will see a picture of the human body where you can click on any muscle group. Select quads and it will show you leg excercises performed correctly and incorrectly, with detailed instructions. It includes doing squats (which is the most effective way to train your legs up). As for calculating overweightness try this link: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
its not perfect but its better than many other sites cause it takes waist size into account not just height and pounds. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
sparklethenfade answered Saturday January 1 2005, 10:35 pm: Lunges help with the legs. And if you run, it burns tons of calories. I think the website you might be looking for is that it gives a height, and a specific weight you should be at. Personally, if you just want to work out the legs, then your like the rest of us, we all want to perfect anything that makes us all unhappy. But if its your legs? Your doing good.
