Ask and Answer: Best Slimming product or exercise to tone up tummy, thigh and arms?

August 13, 2010 Paris B 14 Comments

how to tone up problem areas

Its been a while since we had a Reader’s Question but this one from Lai Heng intrigued me, mainly because I have similar issues with the tummy, thigh and arms (as do most women I’m willing to bet!). Here’s Lai Heng’s question:-

Hi Paris,

I’m not sure whether this question has been featured on “My Women Stuff” but I would like to ask what’s the best slimming product to help to tone up problem areas like tummy, thigh and arms.

I found that jogging alone is not enough to tone up my body. And, does doing “sit up” everyday actually help to tone up tummy? Or, is there any alternative or natural way to help to tone up those peoblem areas or helps to eliminate cellulite?

Please advice ya.

Thank you and have a nice day.

I’m probably the worst person on earth to ask about exercise tips. I am a right slacker I am 😛

So I figured you ladies out there will be the best people to consult on this tricky question.

Do help out if you have any tips or recommendations or exercise ideas yes? I’d probably learn a new thing or two too! 😉

    Strength training exercises to build up and tone up those muscles, babe 🙂
    I highly recommend Les Mills Body Pump classes 🙂

      Ahhh I remember going for Body Pump classes way back in the day and you’re right. I felt more toned then. But I don’t like going to the gym. Ack! 😛

    Take up bellydance lessons! Really works out the abs, hips and thigh jiggle… 😛

    I still need a really good solution for getting my arms nice and toned though… 🙁

    LOL I am lazy.. and I don’t jog
    Somehow, walking for more than 2 hours in a shopping mall once a week without buying anything (LOL) ..with some slimming products work wonders for me! 😀

    I guess besides our arms, tummy and thighs.. our face needs to be toned as well LOL 😉

    Hey,

    I used to go to Hip Hop dance classes and I look absolutely fabulous with really toned up body. I recommend twice a week for 1 hour classes but do make sure it’s an intensive ones as those really light Hip Hop dance routines won’t help much.

    But then again, that’s just me. Some may need more than these to tone up/lose weight.

    Currently I’m dancing to DVDs because I’m too stingy to fork out $ for those classes plus I can do it at home, as and when I want to.

    Also for buttocks/outer thigh area, I suggest doing squats. 3 sets of 12-20 squats once or twice a day.

    For inner thigh, I suggest using a Gym Ball, lie on your side, and then put your foot on the ball & press down. Also about 3 sets of 12-20 presses once or twice a day.

    For triceps, I suggest doing push ups. Again, 3 sets of 12-20 push ups once or twice a day.

    Results won’t be immediate but you’ll see some effects within a month or 2 or even 3. Really depends on the individual’s body.

    I used to go to the gym and use machine(?) with weights => I didn’t do regular sit ups, but I use Abdomincal machine(?). And yes, it did help.

    Also using legs machine really really reduced cellulite. I compared my legs with other women who just went to classes, and I think I had less cellulite.

    But that was me. I haven’t got the energy to go to the gym since my thyroidectomy 4 months ago 😀

    Weights did the trick for me. You won’t bulk up like a man, it’s physically impossible to so don’t worry about looking like Terminator. Those Nautilus machines at my old gym were brilliant. I did the legs and abs machines daily.

    Then… baby came along… and oh well, back to Square One and beyond.

    I think you need a lot of cardio in general to lose fat and tone.
    I personally love the eliptical machine 😀

    Even though I exercise 5 days a week, it has been really difficult for me to lose weight around the areas you mentioned. I read an article somewhere that Clarins lotion is no 1 cellulite product in Korea, so being a sucker I am, I decided to try. I have been applying the lotion day and night for the last month and hello! I can feel my jeans are loose around the thigh area. I have been a huge skeptic when it comes to cellulite products and now I am a believer! 😀 I think with the right diet and regular exercise, the cellulite lotion/cream can HELP.

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
