Everyone has a particular trouble spot they hate – wide hips, a shelf butt, a flabby belly. And they ask me, “What exercises can I do to get rid of this?”
Well, let me tell you the bad news first.
There is no such thing as spot training. You can do 500 abdominal crunches everyday and still have a flabby belly. Why? Because there’s still fat on top of those muscles.

What woman doesn’t want firmer thighs, hips and butt? We want to fit well in our jeans and look good in our pant suit.

Here are three exercises to get you started toning your hips, glutes and thighs!

How you think, you will feel. How you feel, you will do.
I’ve often noticed clients in negative thought patterns. They may say things like, “I’m so fat. I’m so out of shape. I hate this bulge. My hips are so big. I don’t know how you put up with me.”
Other times I’ll notice how they try not to look at themselves in the mirror. Or how they pull down their shirt constantly to cover their hips. Or how they always move out of other people’s way, apologizing, when they were using the space first.
