Fathom Zero | Pick up heavy things. Then when it gets too easy, pick up heavier things. | ||

Basically what that will do is take all the excess calories and burn them. The calories you keep will fly to the curvier places of the body: IE: The Booty, The Chest, The Calves. This is why dancers are usually curvacious. This is why I am voluptious. |

You know, I really have no idea what youre going for elx but IN MY OPINION : I don't really think its muscles that necessarily make girls legs look curvy and attractive, but slight chubbiness. So willies right, eat steak and ice cream. but probably your metabolism is too high. You could try not exercising as much too. As you get older and your hormone balance changes they might get a little shaplier :O IM ALSO TALKING OUT OF MY ASS THOUGH :/ |

elx | well this is confusing! i wanted to build muscle in my legs so they'd be curvier and more attractive (and look less like logs!), but i already am fit and i do most of the things you guys suggested regularly already and it just doesn't build up on me. so i suppose my only options now are steroids or calf implants. o well thanks anyways d00ds | ||

i meant that our physiology has yet to catch up with the modern lifestyle, and evolution is far too slow (and ineffective, since weak people don't rly die off anymore) to change that anytime soon. you knew that of course, but for some reason you have decided that this is the thread where you will do battle with me at any opportunity. |

evolution is terribad slow at catching up with our physiology? Friend, I think as a doctor of broscience you should keep out of fields which are not your specialty. Such as evolution and biology. Quote:

ALSO HERES A HIGHLY EFFICIENT MODernIZED TECHNIQUEFOR EXERCISING WHILE YOU WORK your previous comment is about that relevant. oh yea and tons of people hike, you ignorant fuck. Part of the point about things like hiking is that its organic. Just like with food organic fresh food might not be as EFFICIENT and HIGHLY MODERNIZED as some of the can shit/mass produced crap you buy, but its still better for you. Also I would argue that "tilling the land" or basically doing labor is more highly efficient than all that other crap because you get exercise AND you do something useful like make food SPEAKING OF HIGHLY EFFICIENT WHY BOTHER COUNTING CALORIES AND EXErCISING to LOSE WEIGHT WHEN YOU CAN JUST GET LAP BAND/FASTRIC BYPASS? YOULL SAVE SOSOSO MUCH TIME THAT ITS RIDICULOUS. HELLA MORE EFFICIENT. GOOD DAY. |

Choj, I agree with you, but if trying lunges gets someone to actually START weight training, then it's a good thing. At my gym, there was a girl doing bench presses with the olympic bar and a couple of small plates. She looked self-conscious, but it made me really happy to see her doing it. I also kept thinking, Crap, I have to keep at it or she's eventually going to bench more than me (and I don't bench that much yet). |

I was just gonna mention that if you want to hike and strengthen your core, wear a pack with some weight in it. Preferably sand you can dump if you can't make the hike back. you puss. :edit I have the advantage of a treadmill. I can adjust uphill, get off when I'm tired I just ease it down to a slow walk and get off. I can also take off my backpack of ankle weight and not have to worry about lugging them any further. |

Hiking on terrain that isn't simply flat or similar everywhere (like really established trails with no hills) is vastly superior to either of those techniques. You will work out all of the same muscles and more and in a different variety than you would otherwise. Plus you can wear a backpack too. |

girls like lunges because they have idiotic fetishes for colorful dumbbell weights and a crippling fear of barbells. squatting is a superior exercise in a lot of ways. the squat itself has several variations - front squat, full squat, hack squat. that's what you do when you need to mix up your squat, but it activates so much of your core that it's very much an essential exercise. *now that i got my bro post out of the way, i actually went and looked up lunges and the muscles they activate. dumbbell lunge - http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...s/DBLunge.html barbell lunge - http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...s/BBLunge.html seems like you could feasibly replace a squat with it if you absolutely had to, but the nature of the movement means that it'd take twice as long. it's also a more treacherous movement if performed with a barbell (like god intended), and a little unwieldy to perform with dumbbells (i squat ~222, imagine holding a 100+ lb dumbbell in each hand while prancing about). it also looks like it'd put more stress on the knee, which would be the only reason to avoid a squat in the first place (though if you squat correctly you won't put a great deal of stress on your knees). |

The thing with exercise is that you can change the exercise later. You can try lunges and after a while decide to take on a new challenge/exercise like squats. |

You already know what i'm gonna say, but - squat. it'll also give your ass some lift/perk. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...s/BBSquat.html if you use a standard bar, that's 22.5 lbs, olympic bars are 45 lbs. 90-year old men can usually pull off a set of squats with just the bar, so i see no reason why you couldn't do it too. squat form is kinda complex (given that it's a compound exercise) and unforgiving, but i can go fish out some resources if you're interested. i do squats and calf raises, personally. |

mebbe she's a cripple :O yoga might help but yoga's really more like stretching unless you learn a complete yoga routine, and if you learn a complete yoga routine it will usually exercise your entire body since that is part of the point of doing yoga (BESIDES ENLIGHTENMENT). |

Tadao | What is this suckyness you speak of? 5 years shouldn't matter, it's like riding a bike. If you want to strenghten your upper leg/butt, go to a pool and swim. Swimming is really good for you. It helps strengthen your whole body and doesn't cause any damage. | ||

kahljorn | What is it you want to change about your legs? they look fine to me ;/ | ||

running and hiking are two of my favorite things, i'm pretty sure running is what has caused the suckyness in the first place i haven't biked in like 5 years though, would that make a difference? |
