Question Posted Thursday September 27 2007, 7:42 pm
Ok soo I really want to get some muscels and kinda loose weight around my thieghs... I wouldn't esactly call them to big maybe a little over normal... but I really need to be a bit stornger and get some muscels so I can be better at karate! Please help... I have a little sorta gym ,but what should I use to get stornger
I would recommend squats. They are a very complete exercise with a very full range of motion. It will focus a lot on your thighs, but at the same time work other muscles as well. Its excellent for functional strength (i.e. strength you can use in other activities). That and the fact that its the best muscle builder of all exercises.
Remember not to hunch your back while doing it (back should be arched as though you were trying to press your shoulder blades together). Best to try to look slightly upwards as you reach the lowest point.
As for the fat, the only way to lose that is to eat properly and to do cardios like running, biking, etc.
Lunges are also an effective option for the strength building.
Anyway here is a link with a ton of exercises, just click on the muscle you want to train:

Search the internet for workouts you can do at home, or take up another sport to make you stronger, ie gymnastics, running, or rowing. As long keep challenging yourself, you'll build up more muscle.
