I go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week - not been going for long, do swimming, cardio, weights and 2 classes once a aweek - boxercise and body combat - they are great. Im happy with my weight i am going to generally impove my fitness as i am joining marines soon, but something i would like to do is tone my skin - not sure if that is the right word to use but make my skin more firm, just generally nicer......at the top my my thighs and bottom - any suggestions on how to do this? (or is it expensive creams that do this and nothing do with excersize 
Also i would love to improve my flexibility, i have never been able to touch my toes (obviously i can if i bend my knees!) and generally not very flexible legs so are there also any suggestions for improving this?
Thanks jenni

As for the second - you need to try stretching. When warmed up try touching your toes and other stretches with your legs. Flexibility is something that can come with time - it took me years to be able to do the splits, but after perseverence, anything is possible.
The only drink i drink is water but ill remember to drink more then! Thanks for the advice. I do think im just going to have to work hard on stretches aren't i!? And i know there is a pilates class at my gym but ive never known what it is! - ill look into that thanks!
