Even thought they suck..they WORK! Leg lifts. Leg throws. Frog jumps. Try your right, left, and middle spilts..that will also help...make sure you stretch well before you jump or try the splits, otherwise you will pull the dickens out of your muscles!
For your love handles, using weights...lift both arms and turn to each side. Also, if you really need to...do crunches...and do SIDE crunches...which are self explainatory..but anyhooo...lay on your left side and do a crunch up to the side and then do that with the right side, this will tone and shape your obiques..which are your love handles. And while exercising and during the day...DRINK WATER, WATER, AND MORE WATER! Hope I helped. [ becca08's advice column | Ask becca08 A Question ]

It's great that you have started running, as that is definitely one of the best ways to get in shape. In terms of specific exercises for your glutes, inner thighs, and obliques (sides of your waist muscles), I would recommend basic squats, leg lifts, and side crunches. Do a few sets of 8-10 repetitions for each exercise, and also try to alternate your running regimen with fast walking, light weight lifting, and maybe an aerobics or yoga class as well. Hope this helps! [ downtownkb's advice column | Ask downtownkb A Question ]
