Further to my post "Toning Legs"

Thanks for posting your replies to my thread called "toning legs" (http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=362601).

On a typical day, I eat Readybrek (porridge) for breakfast. I have four dessert spoons of this with skimmed milk, but sometimes I am bad and I don't eat breakfast. I usually eat this at about 10.00am. Then at lunchtime, I usually eat a salad - with this, I usually have lettuce, tomatoes, a small amount of low fat coleslaw and 3 slices of waither thin ham. And in the evenings at about 6.30pm, I will have something like oven chips with grilled chicken.

I usually go to the gym about 2 to 3 times a week, usually in the evenings about about 8pm, and I'm usually there for about 90 minutes. When I get there, I always start on the cross trainer. I do 10 minutes of this on level 10 or 11. Then I usually go on to the weights. I put details of this in my last post. I will also do 200 sit-ups, then I do 200 sit-ups on this machine where you lean forward pressing down weights. I usually do this on about 25-30kg. Then I work on my arms, and I use all the machines there and do about 30-50 reps on each. Then I will go onto the cardio machine that works your bum, although I'm sure it works the whole of your body because I can certainly feel it on that machine. And finally, I go on the exercise bike for about 20-25 minutes.

I am just aiming to get my legs like Britney Spears because her's look nice, not too muscular but well defined. I definitely do not want legs like the picture "The Shadow" has. No offence, but I find that so unnattractive on a woman, and I don't want to end up looking like a man! Also, what's the problem with the word toning? There is no way in hell that I want to end up looking like a bodybuilder. I want to look feminine, not manly!!!
 
Ummmmm, Shadow IS a man.

And to get defined legs, you STILL have to do serious exercises. I'll again say that you can do leg extensions and inner/outer thigh machines all day long and you will NEVER get defined legs.

That also goes with the 400 ab movements you do. I assume you are doing this to get a "six pack" or "flat abs"? You are wasting time. Flattening the stomach comes through losing BODY FAT. To lose body fat, you need to get your diet and training down to a precise science.

Exercises such as lunges and squats should be the BASE of your workout - not machines. Most movements should be compound movements, not tiny little isolation movements. This goes for upper and lower body. Regardless of that amount of muscle you want or don't want, you need to do more research on diet and training.

To mold a more defined body, you will HAVE to build some muscle and lose body fat. You can do this through intense weight training and a serious diet. Endless reps of low weight or skipping meals will get you NOWHERE FAST.

You are not eating enough. You need to SERIOUSLY re-think your diet. It sucks. No offense. Breakfast at 10am? Are you joking? And even that is "sometimes"? Sweetheart, you need to seriously take some time and research and read about diet and training. You need to eat every 3 hours. Your food choices should be lean meat, fibrous carbs and healthy fats.

I have several sample diets in this post: (as well as other useful info)

Well "The Shadow" looks like he's wearing a skirt in his picture. Anyway, thanx for the advice. But surely, if I eat more, then I'll put more weight on? and I have breakfast at 10am because I don't have time before I go to work, and I don't start work till 9.30am.

Do you think that Britney Spears eats and exercises the way you say above? I know I must sound like I'm obsessed with her, but she has a great figure most of the time and I read that she does 1000 sit-ups a day!!!

HAHAHHAHAA

If you only knew the humor of that statement (the skirt) - he's wearing a tee shirt but the comment is still ironic if you've known him for a while.

Eating more - depends on what you're eating and how much you're training.

Anyway.

Spears is pretty thick for dancer type but I'm quite confident that dancing is where her core muscles have been built. I had gone to high school with a group of SAB (school of American Ballet) dancers and at 90-100lbs tops they were rock solid and defined yet very tiny.

Your body fat level will determine how visable your muscles will be not how much muscle you have (although you'd have to build some to see it with lower BF). So you could have a lot of muscle and too much body fat to see it or you could have very little muscle and low body fat and see no muscle definition because well, there isn't any muscle to be defined.

Hope that makes sense - it's Christmas and I've had a few mimosas.

You always have time. The statement "I don't have time" is a crock of shit. We are ALL busy. You have time to have a protein shake in the car, you have time to eat a chicken breast in the car, you have time to eat ANYTHING in the car. I ahve eaten eggs in the car, while walking, while getting ready, etc.

Hell, for that matter, set your alarm 15 minutes earlier and MAKE something.

Getting results takes TIME and DETERMINATION. Not to mention SACRIFICE.

As for Mrs. Federline, if you don't have her genetics, you won't have her body. Don't beleive ANYTHING you read about what "celebrities" do for workout of dieting. They ALL lie. SHe might do 1000 situps a day, so what? You DON'T have her genentics OR her body. You need to find what works for YOU. Not HER. YOU. You could follow what she does/eats EXACTLY and STILL NEVER look like her.

Vel hit it - she dances for hours a day. And has been for years and years. That is where she built her body - not 1000 situps.

If you eat crap, yes you will gain weight. If you eat clean, unprocessed foods, it will be hard to gain weight - IF YOUR CALORIES AREN'T TOO HIGH. You need to eat 5 times a day, and drink a TON of water. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Basic diet....will be lean meats and veggies. Amounts will vary based on your history, your stats, etc.

For example.... (amounts will vary, this is just a sample)

Meal 1 ~9am
4 egg whites, 1 whole egg
1/2cup - 1cup Oatmeal made with water

Meal 2 ~12-1pm
3-4oz Lean Meat
3 oz potato OR 1/2cup brown rice
10 almonds

Meal 3 ~3-4pm
3-4oz Lean Meat
Green Veggies - UNLIMITED

Meal 4 ~5-6pm
3-4oz Lean Meat
Green Veggies - UNLIMITED
Fat source (olive or flax oil)

Workout ~8pm

Meal 5 ~9:30pm
Protein Shake
1/2 cup cottage cheese (not usually good idea post workout, but since this is the last meal of the day, it will slow digestion)


Your metabolism will slow down dramatically if you do not feed it. If you don't put anything in, nothing can be burned. Well, actually, MUSCLE will be burned. This will leave you lighter (since muscle weighs more than fat) but very squishy and flabby - and with a metabolism on strike. You will shake when you move, and not in the good booty-shaking way - I mean the kind you see old obese women shaking. Your butt will ook like two pitbulls flighting under a blanket - not pretty. Cellulite will appear where none was before. Your hips will spread, your belly will squish and roll. Your triceps will wave when then wind blows. Because there is no muscle holding everything tight and defined.

Think of your body as a car. To make a car go, you add gas. To make your body go, you add food.

Honey, do some RESEARCH. I promise, it will help you SO SO much!

Well it looks like I'm going to have to research into dieting. I definitely couldn't eat 4 egg whites for breakfast. Usually, if I'm hungry during the day, as a snack, I will have Riveta or crackerbread with some extra low fat cheese spread on it. And as for breakfast, if I'm not hungry, I won't eat it and first thing when I get up, I'm just not hungry. Then I have to get on a train to work, so I just don't feel like eating until about 10am.

Don't eat that crap = crackers or low fat anything.

Just get up and force yourself to eat 1/2 of oatmeal, even instant, whatever you can shovel down - in a week or two you'll get used to it.


Here's a thought - you need food - something to get your metabolism started in the morning. If you don't your body thinks it's starving and will hold onto everything and just shut down to perserve itself. It will actually make you fatter even if you weigh less.
