Ways to tone my body quick!?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

Just two months ago, I weighted 148 pounds. By me dieting, I have gone down to a size 135 with just dieting alone no exercise. Now that I have gotten my size to where I want it, I’m still not happy with my body. I need to start incorporating some exercises. The problem is I don’t know what specific exercise I should do to start. Most people are telling me to join a fitness gym, but with my budget I don’t want to do that. My main area that I would like to work is my thigh, mainly my inner thighs. I want to get them nice and firm. I want them to be tight and not all lose and floppy like they are now. Just the other night I saw an infomercial about a product called Zone Pilates. From watching the commercial, it seems like the product that will give me the exact results I am looking for. Has anyone tried Zone Pilates or have any good exercising tips I can use to work my thighs? Another quick question is how well will running daily help me achieve my goal?

I want a tone body by May!!

Is Winsor Pilates really effective? Especially if you’re quite overweight?

Posted on December 24, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

I’m sitting at home sick w/ a cold watching a Winsor Pilates infommercial. I keep seeing them referencing women going from size 12 down to small sizes. Do you think a curvier woman could really get in shape with this? I’d consider it if I knew it would really be effective.

Thanks!!

So, is this possible? Postpartum, I weighed a certain amount. I went to the doctor one year later …?

and weighed the same. The thing is, I am in a size small or 6 now when I was in a size 10-12 (L) or so post partum.

I walk wearing MBT trainers 2-3 miles every day pushing a pretty heavy stroller and do pilates 4 times a week.

Is it even possible that I could weigh the same as I did postpartum but wear a considerably smaller size? I’m also 15 pounds heavier than I was pre-pregnancy and the same size as I was pre-pregnancy. Strange, right?

Oh, if you are curious, no I am not squeezing into anything, an 8 hangs off of me, a 6 fits fine, sometimes a 4) Is it that I have muscle for the first time in my life from carrying around a baby and working out?
Oh, I suffer from distorted body image, so looking at myself in the mirror won’t help me.
Thanks but uck, I still have loose belly skin. I can feel the muscle under it but I’ve got a mother’s apron. I think I might be pretty buff but even the pilates isn’t helping the flap. that’s why I’m convinced I’m still fat and the weigh in at the docs didn’t help!
Oh, yeah Abby, isn’t that evil? But I’m fitting back into the same clothes pre-pregnancy. I just weigh alot more.
