    Default Trimming Down the Stomach and thighs

    I am just looking for some good abdominal/thigh slimming exercises. I can't find any really effective ones. Please send me any advice you have. Thanks.

    Hey Lance,

    Here's a link you may be interested in for abdominal strengthening exercises. (I'm sure you realize you cannot spot reduce.) According to ACE here are the top 10 most effective ab exercises. Hope this helps.

    If you have a question about personal training please post it on the forum instead of sending me an email or private message. Chances are your questions will help someone else. Thanks!

    No magic exercises here, with most isoalted exercises not having great success in these areas:

    1. Sound diet - Can't out training a crappy diet
    2. Total body strength training utilizing bi-sets, tri-sets, quad-sets or circuits to generate lactic acid - this has been shown to create the greatest metabolic demand
    3. High Intensity Interval Training - burns more calories then steady state work and helps keep your metabolism elevated after the workout

    I hope this helps!!
