Toning up

Hi,
I'm not fat but I do feel I need/should tone up quite a bit instead of losing weight.
So, was wondering what you're views were on the best and most effective way of toning the lower part of the body.
Past few days I've started using a mini trampet- you think that will have an impact? Or do I need to do more, to reach more toned legs, arse etc.
Thanks!

What you need is to do lots of sit-ups (make sure you do them correctly though, can damage back your back if done wrong) and eat a healthy balanced diet. The diet will decrease fat and the sit-ups will then tone your abdomen. Squats are good for your legs and arrse. You should join your local gym, they have equipment for every part of your body. Use light weights with high reps. You could also join an aeroboics class.
p.s drink loads of water, it is poven to lower appetite and lose weight, its also could for loads of other things like skin.
The female version of a tramp. You work out by Ko'ing one and then jumping up and down on them repeatedly. /my joke credibility
But I believe it is a mini version of a trampoline. One just big enough for one person.
ROFL!!!
Naomi, just do loads of cardio exercizes!!
Running, swimming, cycling....
Also get some light dumbells and do some strength exercizes for instance when you are watching TV...
And drink water, yep!!
You should do them in sets, doing just 'a few' will have minimal effect.
Also eating high protein foods after a workout can be beneficial if you are looking to add muscle mass.
What would you suggest for sets? Like sets of 10 or more like 25?
Well it depends on how comfortable you are with a certain number. So If you can just about do 10, then do 3 of those with say a 30 second rest in between. Then increase the amount of reps each week or when you feel you can handle them.
You are aiming to work the muscles so if you feel totally fine afterwards you need to be putting more effort in.
Generally doing the reps at a quick pace will give better all round results, don't strain yourself but make sure the effort is there.
It would be good to do them every other day, or if you are feeling sore then give it another days rest.
