Yeah, do that Belinda!! It will be amazing for your glutes and quads...Glutes is the "saddlebag" area that woman have.

Use the weights, and try to do like 3 sets of 16 alternating..your legs will hurt the next day though, so don't do it 2 days in a row.

Good luck!!

P.S. Situps aren't really effective unless you are doing cardio to get rid of the fat on top of the abs as well...are you doing any cardio? Are you walking?

Yes I walk on the treadmill every day, sometimes I walk two miles. I hafta walk, I have bad bones, and my doctor wants me to try and get good bones.

Do you take a calcium supplement?

Yes I take 1200 mgs of calcium a day, plus I take 70mgs of Fosamax once a week.

An elyptical strider can provide a good workout. You can really extend your legs in the stride and tighten buttocks at the same time. You can also work the upper body by pushing forward or pulling way back and just flex all over. I'm using the compact model from Sharper Image, paid $250 for it but I like the Gazelle better -- under $100 at Walmart. It has more range and better handhold. The buttocks can be tightened by flexing with any leg movement ---- not that I do it --- not that I'm in great shape. I dabble.
