Thanks Nach and hope you got some good sleep. Sleep is paramount.

And what do I want? Every girls dream. Tighter bottom, tighter thighs. And for now, no machines will be included. I have an on the road, at home, routine I do. Like on all fours, side-leg lifts, kick-backs, kick up like a plate on my foot. Plus while standing, high leg lifts like marching in place. Things like this. My standard schtick.

It's the squats which seem to throw me off– so if you have any source for a video, I'd love to know. And lunges. Have to admit, for some reason, just don't like them. And dead lifts. I feel these are more for fun. They stretch my hamstrings and not much more. I've looked at tons of videos on dead lifts, even started a thread here in the workout forum a few years ago asking about dead lifts. As a matter of fact, I also include dead lifts in between my upper body workout movements for a little breather but simply don't include dead lifts on my workout list since I feel they're more of a hamstring massage. Even when I had a trainer, same thing re: dead lifts. No matter the barbell weight, I pretty much just went through the motion for... zen.

And my calves. Very developed. A BB's dream. If anything, I'd love to tone, not build my calves. Same with everything else. I have the stuff. Just want to tighten it up.

Thanks Nach. Hope some of this gives you some ideas....TAKE your time. If I've waited this long, I want this to be on your clock.

Appreciate this a lot.

how are those weights treating you?

are you doing the same weight (weights) each week or are they gradually moving higher?
