Sascha you have amazing booty and thighs so stop talking crazy!!!!!!! 😲 I only know biceps and triceps!! 😂 Biceps it the top of your upper arm between the crook of your elbow and your shoulder. Tricep is the underside of your upper arms. Mine are lost somewhere!!!!!! 🙁

ahhhhhh! thank you trena!!! you're so sweet, i love how you explained that because you did it in a way id understand completely 🙂 you have a BEAUTIFUL body trena, what are you talking abuot your muscles are lost?! 🙂
I think maybe the flag Trena... although I could be waaaaay off!! But I think most moves probably work many muscles so I'm sure they are secretly growing in there somewhere 😉 Also - why triceps?? Did u just wake up one morning and go 'man my life would be better with bigger triceps!' hehehehe just kidding 😀 xoxoxoxo nikki

Why don't you try weight lifting to strengthen your triceps? You don't have to do anything major. Just get yourself a couple of dumbells (5-8 lbs) and you can work your triceps while you watch TV.

Ok, first I want to clear up the confusion that there is a way to spot reduce fat. You can't choose where you will loose fat from first, and unfortunately the tummy and love handles is usually the last to go. 😈. So to loose body fat you need a healthy balanced diet, and yes...that includes whole grains (carbs) cutting out any food group is never a good idea. So the next thing is to move more, Pole more (of course) park farther away, take the stairs.....move more. So thats just the basic concept of fat loss There are not a lot of pole moves that strengthen the triceps specifically. Caterpillar would be good, but you would need to do both sides, anything where you would be pushing yourself away from the pole with arms bent, then straighten again, would be using triceps. Push ups and variations, shoulder push ups, and dips are all good for triceps and don't need any special equipment. If you have the online lessons I do different variations of the push ups and shoulder push ups. You could check those out. 🌸

what about the booty and thighs!?!?!? 🙂
If you have FitTV they have an episode of Cardio Blast that will be focusing on triceps and biceps on tonight at 9pm or 11am if you can catch that one. It will also be airing again on june 13th at 7 am if you want to TiVo it.
what about the booty and thighs!?!?!? 🙂 SQUAT! SQUAT! SQUAT! my dear.
i saw this exercise called the frog squat on youtube. it's suppose to target your butt and thights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd-TnHQ062Y

My favorite exercise for booty is walking lunge!! Its great for working on balance too. When done properly you can really feel the burn. 👍

Yeah...what about the booty & thighs? I really need to tone these areas and decrease the look of cellulite! 😂
Trena ·
Oh I know there's no way to lose weight in a specific area but I was wondering is there a certain exercise that could tone my lower back n sides!!!!! Like a special stretch or side push up or something... I dont want to lose an awful lot more weight than I already have cause Im afraid I'll lose my shape if I do! Whats brought this on is the other day I did a dance in my underwear and recorded it and got awefully depressed when I watched it! 🙁 🙁

noooooooooooooooo let's not trash talk your beautiful bodies!!!!!! we're women! we're SUPPOSED to have stretchmarks and cellulite and all that stuff, and that's ok!!! guys don't even notice that stuff anyways. i know i made posts in this forum about booties and thigh exercises, but knowing me i wouldn't even do them if i knew of them lol. let's celebrate our bodies instead of bash them!

I'm telling ya...for a rounder firmer butt go for the squats and walking lunges!!! If your gonna be in chat this Fri, I can show you some exercises that are killer for the booty. All the women in my family have the lovely flat butt thing going on so...I fight it with all my might! lol

I wish that were true. My husband notices them big time, but he's never gonna tell me it turns him off, etc. I'm not so worried about my stretch marks as those are from giving birth. However, I'm not happy with the cellulite so it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter to my husband. I never ever thought I'd be 150 lbs, but I am. I like the womanly curves, but I don't like the fat arms and the cellulite. 😈 I hate those darn sink holes in my legs and I want to tone them up FOR ME! But don't believe the hype that men don't notice them...They do! 🙁
