New Question, ..........Again!

[Guest guest]

I was wondering why I did see inner thigh, outer thigh and glutes in

the exercises for Body for Life. So, I decided to add the on. I was

going to use the same intensity approach that Bill uses for his

book. However, I started thinking that I don't want my muscles to

grow on my hips. I already have shapely hips! I know it is probably

composed of some fat. So, instead of doing the BFL approach I did 3

sets of 15. I thought........high reps, low weight will tone them.

Can anyone tell me why Bill doesn't have those exercises in his

book? Can anyone tell me advice on what to do?

If you look at the 10,000's upon 10,000's of transformations that

have occured through BFL, the age ole concept of high reps, low

weights has been proven null.

I would follow the book.......It has worked for many, I say, " if it

ain't broke, don't try and fix it... "

Wether it's pyramid workouts, ascending or descending sets, they will

all do the same in the end. The idea of " toning " is actually the

idea of losing bodyfat nd gaining muscle. Whether you like it or not,

some amount of muscle will build in those areas

The reason he doesn't have those exercises in there is because you'll

likely work those muscles when doing compound exercises like squats

or deadlifts etc. Some people don't actually work biceps that hard

because they get a good enough working as secondary muscles doing

other exercises.

Thanks for your reply! I thought that those muscle may be worked in

the main exercises like squats that he lists. I'm not doing squats

or lunges right now. I'm not that good in coordination and balance.

I may pick up it later. I am using the machines at the gym that

target these the quad and hamstrings like curls and extenstions. I

loaned the my BFL book to my cousins.
