    We could start a club....

    But that doesn't solve the issue. For now I hide them under dresses and skirts, so Brisbane life is good to me in that regard! But I want them GONE!

    Squats and lunges while holding hand weights - and LOTS OF THEM!!!

    I'm in the process of trying to lose mine. I am a 10/12 on top and a 14 on the bottom. Squats BURN but they really do work! I try to do at least 50 squats and 50 lunges on each leg a day while holding 3-5kg in each hand. I'm going to up it to 100 a day though.

    It gets easier after the first session!

    Oh and a really good class is Spin - lots of leg work and cardio.

    i second that

    lots of fat burning and sculpting excersises ! but i can be arsed do that so i do aqua areobics !!!

    perfect resistance and its fun ! its great for toning the body

    i have little muscle tone .. i am wobbly all over nice and squishy ... but im a 10 /12 size .. i hate being this size and wobbly ..

    sometimes i see bigger girls with "firm" fat and it suits them , they dont wobble ..

    but i wobble everywhere *sigh*

    Hmmmm.... and where shall this club meet? Most certainly not in a pair of stovepipe jeans!

    So what sort of squats and lunges?

    I think a spin class is not really a winner as I am already cycling for 90 mins a day, so I'm getting most of that sort of work out already.
    I used to do aquarobics when I lived in Melbourne, and I looked fab when I did it, but haven't found a good class up here in Vegas. Any ideas on how to find one?

    I do my squats with an exercise ball. I put the ball against a wall and lean into with my back it while I squat. It takes the pressure off my lower back.

    With the lunges, I just hold the hand weights and do them as normal, alternating between each leg.

    I am in this club too! I have always had big thighs, ever since I can remember and big calves as well. I hate my legs so much I always cover them up even if it is hot, you will never find me in shorts! I will compromise with 3/4 pants!
