Love Handles…
I have recently finished the jumping jack challenge. everyday for one month, i did reverse jumping jacks, starting with 100 and increasing the number by 50 every 2-3 days. reverse jumping jacks stretch your sides so i recommend it for trying to shrink muffin tops!
(reverse jumping jacks-for those who dont know- are when your arms point skyward when your feet are together so you start like a pencil and when you push your feet out to the side, your arms come down to meet your thighs, then go back up)
Also, if you have hand weights, stand with your legs shoulder width appart, arms on thighs, weights in hand and slowly bend to one side, your hand running down the side of your thigh and back up to standing position, then the same for the other side. i normally repeat this 50 times per side so as i do it, i count to 100 :)
Youtube Workouts!
Inner Thighs…
Oh yes, the dreaded inner thighs! so many people desperate for a thigh gap (not me, never me… okay yes me too!) and if you are willing to work for it, it is possible! i find doing wide leg squats really helps as it really burns you inner thighs :) also side step lunges are good, especially if you add a few pulses into them :) then there is also normal lunges, as you go down, stop your knee approx 1-2cm above the ground and do 5 pulses, repeat this 5 times on each leg and you will have completed one round. i do between 2 and 5 of these in one go. Warning: your legs will burn and feel like jelly if you go from never doing them to doing 5 in one go. you will more than likely trip or fall over. work up to doing 5 in one go rather than thinking you will manage!
Youtube Video!
Bums…
okay, so many people want to be a stick but with a beyonce booty, to muscle it up, lose fat and work on the back of your thighs (which gives definition, which makes it appear bigger) i definately recommend squats! squats and burpees!

Bingo Wings…
Upper arms are possibly the most annoying things on earth! i recommend doing lots of reps with small hand weights, i have started off with 1kg and now using 3kg as i cant find anywhere that stocks higher :/ but i recommend starting with your arms straight down by your side and slowly lifting the weight up to your shoulder and back down. i the added in lifting the opposite leg to the arm i was lifting to help tone stomach and inner thigh at the same time.
after doing that for a while, you can do cross body punches with the weights. hold the weight in your arms at boob height, elbows pointing behind you, 45 degrees between straight back and straight to the side, legs shoulder width appart. then, adding in a little body twist, you can simply punch your arm to the opposite corner, return to stating position, then do the same with the other arm and keep repeating. i do 50 of these in one go normally so it is 25 per arm :)
also, to tone your love handles and bingo wings at the same time, you can stand, feet shoulder width apart, arms by your side, resting on your thighs, slowly raise both arms so they are at the same height and raise them to either right above your head, or in line with your shoulders. depending on the weight of your weight, this can be extremely painful on your sides and arms. if this occurs, raise one arm at a time, same effect, less pain :)
Over the next while i shall post more workouts, let me know if you have any areas you want to target and i will try help you :D
