 Abs Hi. I am a typical pear shape. I am a size 8 on top and a size 12 on my bottom half. Is their any exercise tips you can give me to make my thighs smaller so they are a similar size to my top half. A diet to lose weight won't help me as it will make my top half even smaller! please can you help me?

 Abs I am very thin and have been all my life. I am naturally thin and never exercise and always eat whatever I want. Recently, I noticed that my legs and butt have gained a little fat and now I want to tone them. I would like to be healthy and start working out for health reasons and also to tone up my body, but I am afraid that exercise will make me lose weight and I DON'T want to lose ANY weight. What can I do to exercise and become fit without losing any weight or making myself look any thinner? By the way, I am a 28 yr. old female (in case that is important for you to know). Thanks!

 Abs I am 17 years old, I am 6'0" tall, 183 lbs. I don't look like I weigh 183 because I am tall. I have formed "Love handles" and my thighs are huge! They are not flabby, but the are big alongwith my behind! I use to play basketball and softball, I have always been around a size 9. I haven't played either of them in 2 years. I recentll started working out at a gym. I only went 3 days the first week, it is now my 2nd week and I am going to start going 5 days a week until April. I have a senior prom April 11th. I have been drinking about 4 to 5, 20 ounce bottles of water a day. I don't really eat a meal, I snack once in the morning and once in the afternoon. What's some exercises and things I can do to lose about 20 pounds before April 11th??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

 Abs OK, I have decided to make a change in my life. For as far back as I can remember, my body has always been bigger than others. I am a 31, about 280 6ft tall. I know am big guy and I don't think exercise can make me shrink. I want to make my big problem areas, which are my tummy and buttocks go away SOON. I have recently been working out at our work Gym. The first few weeks I did 35 min on the treadmill, now I am working 35 min on the elliptical trainer. I know it must be doing something; my shirt is soaked afterwards. Is there anything more that I can do, and what about those dietary supplements?

 Abs I am a 52 year old who is trying to stay in shape. I've started watching my diet and doing sit ups. I have been experiencing bad pain in my neck when I turn my head. It is so bad at time it takes my breathe away. It started after I started doing sit ups. Is there some other exercise I can do to tighten up my abs. I have very limited space in my apartment so the ball would not work for me. Is there anything other exercise I can do. I have also had back surgery. Karen

 Abs Every day I excersise for 10 minutes. I have no excersise machines, so I improvise. For cardio, I do 50 jumping jacks. I also do crunches, squats, and leg lifts. My problem is I need to find an at home excersise that will work my love handles and lower abs. Can you help me? Also, I need to know if 10 minutes a day, everyday, is enough.

 Abs Hi Norma. I train my abs 5 days a week using 2 abs videos. My abs seem to show a little, but I want more definition. Also I have some extra skin or fat over my abs, not quite sure if it's fat or skin ? but anyway, If I continue to eat right and train my abs 5 days a week will the muscles eventually push up against the skin so they can be seen more, and I'll see more definition ? Also are lines on both sides of abs definition ? I want to make sure I'm seeing what I'm suppossed to be seeing. I'm also thinking of trying to lose a few pounds, so my abs will show even more. Also, I have been trying to tone my arms and give them some sexy sculpt and shape. I do a variety of exercises for my arms with 5 & 8 lb. dumbells. I have been doing that 4 days a week for 2 weeks now, can you tell me when will I start to see some form take shape and some muscle ? My arms are way to skinny. Thanks Norma.

 Abs I am a 37 yr. old female, 128 lbs. I ride a stationary bike 5 days a week for 30 min. and drink plenty of water, and do strength training plus ab work 4 days a week. I do 2 videos for abs. The firm ab sculpt, and I want those abs. I can see some definition on the sides of my abs, and a little line in the middle of my upper abs in the right light and if I don't slouch, I pray it's not my eyes playing a game with me. Is this a sign of beginning definition ? Also, for my size I don't need to lose weight I think, but how do I get rid of the jiggly, excess skin over my abs, I don't think it's fat. And I cannot afford any surgery. I only see it if I'm lying down or sitting, real loose, and jelly like, with a couple of rolls, but when I'm standing it looks good. Maybe it's normal to have some excess skin, but can I shrink it with exercise ? I'm afraid if I loose weight, the skin will get looser !!! If I continue to exercise will the ab muscles eventually push up against the skin making it look more smooth and defined ? Please respond back to my question to let me know if I am doind everything right. Thank You
