Eat right, workout hard, rest harder!
Eat 6 small meals per day (healthy ones). Find out how many calories you should eat by determining how much you weigh and if you would like to lose weight. Calorie calcs can be found all over the web... Start here:
Workout the big muscle groups in your body 3 times per week. Break it into groups like this: day 1 - pull muscles (lats, biceps, and lower back); day 2 - legs (quads, hams, and calves); day 3 - push muscles (chest, triceps, and abs).
Walk/run on your treadmill for 40 minutes at your target (80% of max) HR 3 times per week. Do this on days when you aren't working out. Warm-up and warm-down properly. And, stretch afterwards!!!
Get plenty of rest by sleeping 8 plus hours and don't do any workouts once per week.
Example week:
Monday - Pull muscles
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Run
Friday - Push muscles
Saturday - Run
Sunday - REST!!! (imperative)
If you eat well in small increments, workout regularly, and get proper rest, I guarantee you will notice results within 3 weeks! And, within 6 weeks you will be FLABBERgasted. By 12 weeks, you won't even recognize your new toned thighs!
BTW - After 12 weeks, take a week off of working out before repeating this routine!
