GLUTEUS AND THIGH TONING

"It is important that you perform a full body workout, rather than just concentrating on your gluteus and thighs.

- Norbert D'Souza

Perform an exercise on each body part using light weights and high reps on your lower half. One of the best ways to ensure you are re-shaping your body with the correct workout, especially if you are pear shaped, is to look into getting a program designed for you. It is well worth your while and it will save you a lot of frustration."

You will be happy to know that you are not the only one out there who wants to tone their gluteus (butt) and thighs into shape. How often, though, is it that you start a toning program for your butt and thighs and find your butt and thighs actually grow instead of shrink! This situation has a tendency to put people off training because they don't get the results they expect.

Why You have Problems Reducing Your Gluteus and Thighs Size?

The reason that you have so many problems trying to rid yourself of your thighs and butt is because these areas are main storage areas for body fat. For women reducing these areas can drive you nuts! The reason for having these fat storage areas is to assist us in times of survival. Let me put it this way. Say you were stuck out in the middle of nowhere with no food, and just water. Your body would, after a while, start "kicking into your body fat storage" to help you survive, because you are not consuming any food. In the case of women during pregnancy if this occurred you would be "surviving for two" thus the larger fat storage area.

How Eating the Wrong Food Affects Your Gluteus and Thigh Size

The size increase in your butt and thigh areas can depend on the type of program you are performing and what you are eating. To start with if your body fat storage areas tend to be around your butt and thighs you need to be very careful of the extra bits and pieces you snack on. You can bet that most of the time when you consume extra calories and fat it will go straight to your thighs and Glutes.
