My legs, butt, belly, and arms are all much better than before -- I only do some of it, but the half hour workout I do is short enough to do every day if I could just get up and do it instead of lounging in bed longer.<br /><br />One of the butt exercises is this: Lie on your back with knees bent, feet in line with hips and shoulders. Inhale, and when you exhale, lift your butt up, keeping your ribs going towards your hips and your abs firm, arms at your sides. Lift your butt in little lifts from that position -- sets of sixteen, setting it down on the floor carefully between sets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862750278161876785.post-35147016808888435432009-10-23T15:01:16.184-04:002009-10-23T15:01:16.184-04:00Congrats on holding steady!

Even though I have a lot of fat, my legs and rear are really firming up. And my arms, are, too--but still have that flap that when I quit waving, it keeps on waving.<br /><br />I've heard dead lifts are a great way to do butt work. I have no idea what a dead lift is, though. loljohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033212669785433659noreply@blogger.com
