Hey yo from Canada. I'm around my goal weight, but I'm wanting to focus on my least favorite part of myself: my legs and glutes. I really need to kick my own ass, pun intended. The basic hip thrusts on the floor aren't doing anything. So many workouts I see on Pinterest and whatever look really basic and I don't feel any burn from doing them? I'm watching my form too... What are your favorite/most effective exercises for lower body? I've heard hiking is great too, so I might add that to my routine. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys, I have a question about what I should do and moreso modifying what I already do in my fitness routine. So for starters I weigh around 165lbs. and my goal is to eventually get down to 110. Over the course of 3 months I was able to go down a pants size. However, I want to make sure I'm doing enough to maintain that weight loss as well. Currently I do 40 minutes of exercise 4-6 days a week. One day I usually am on the tredmill at a 2.0 incline. I want to lose my upper thigh fat and I read that endurance running at a low incline is what is good for that. For the first twenty minutes i power walk at about 3.3mi per hour. Then for the last twenty I jog at at least 3.7mi - 4mi per hour. Then the other days Ill go on my stationary bike, although I don't have a set thing to do on that. I think i ride pretty normally then sometimes I'll peddle pretty fast for about a min. I read on that that if you peddle a a moderate intensity for a long period of time that will work on getting rid of the fat of the upper thighs, however short burst of peddling at high intensity would build muscle. I'm not 100% sure but I'd like some suggestions. I also want to lose my arm fat, lose some stomach fat, and of course get lean legs. I think I need to add endurance/strength training but I'm not 100% sure what to do. As far as eating, what i eat for dinner is what is iffy. But breakfast is pretty healthy, for lunch I have half a tuna sandwich on wheat 45 cal. bread. Is there anything I need to change or add into my regime in order to obtain my goal. I appreciate all help. I am aware that there is no such thing as spot training but I do want to know some all around things I should do to achieve my goal. I like being on the treadmill or stationary bike but I can do other things if it means reaching my goal. I appreciate all the help guys, I really want to reach my goal

Hello! I am looking for suggestions on how to create leaner legs....in particular leaner thighs. I am in decent shape, a 23 yr old woman 5'1 and about 127 lbs. I am currently living outside the U.S. and I don't have access to a gym or weights. I've been doing a lot of push-ups, plank, squats, lunges, various ab exercises in addition to running (only about 2-3miles) about 3x-4x a week. There seems to be quite a bit of debate online about running long distance versus interval training to create leaner legs so I'm really confused as to what I should be doing. I should probably also mention that I tend to hold most of my fat on my inner thighs but overall I have pretty large thigh muscles.Since I am living outside of the U.S. my diet has changed quiet a bit as access to vegetables has been a bit of struggle. I've more less been eating an unintentionally vegan diet for the past month. Any suggestions would be wonderful!!
