Improving Your Body – A Surefire Method for Definite Results
- by Joey Atlas, Author of The Ultimate Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Makeover
—————————————————————————————————————————————
There are often concepts in daily life that apply to more than just one aspect of the things that are most important to you. For example – there are many lessons that I’ve learned in the business of fitness that I carry over into my personal fitness and nutrition plan.
One of these simple lessons has been like gold to me – and maybe it can help you too.
Several years ago I started keeping a short list of 5 questions – that I would answer, from scratch, every 6 – 8 weeks. As simple as this sounds – it has helped me stay focused and clear on my goals and my true intentions.
Before I started doing this – I found that I would unintentionally ‘drift off course’ – or easily get sidetracked from a major project or milestone.
Ever since I started doing this – my business, my fitness and all areas of my life have improved… And on that note I thought it would be a great idea to set up several questions that you can keep referring to every few months to help keep you focused and moving toward your goals in terms of your specific body improvement desires.
Please answer these by clicking below on that ‘COMMENTS’ button just below this article – and feel free to copy and print these for your own use at home or at the office:
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
I anxiously await your answers and will do all that I can to help you reach your goals…

Hi Joey!
Your tips and exercises helped me a lot…however, only in the lower half of my legs…I did your exercises for about a week already and I can already feel my calves stronger.
I would say my problem area is mainly my thighs and my butt. I tried some of your exercises and combining with some cellulite cream and lotion for firming skin, it’s working. Which brings me to my next point, I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of cellulite on my thighs and my butt, I’m a swimming instructor and it just doesn’t look good with that when I’m teaching.
I am a pesitarian, so there is a limit as to what I can eat and I have been watching over my diet; no heavy cream, fast food, I eat whole wheat. So I have a very healthy diet.
Your exercises made me feel confident about my body and I am willing to devote at least two hours everyday for exercises (I watch a lot of TV, so I usually do your exercises during commercial breaks or boring moments of the TV show)
I am actually interested to know how to shape my legs, get rid of my cellulite areas and how to tone them so they look their best. I have muscular thighs before because I was an athlete, now I just want them back by some toning and firming, I don’t really need skinny legs. Send me more articles.
Cellulite on the back of the legs, although I am almost 55. I am fine in my clothes but will not wear shorts or a swim suit and I live in San Diego. I box, I spin and I do resistance training 5 days a week, walk the dog 7 days a week and nothing changes, but at least it is not getting worse!
1. I am very pale and the veins behind my knees show
2. Makes me feel like wearing pants or a great long skirt
3. Main goal? Keep the hips and thighs as slender and sexy as they are now!
4. All of the “words” in #4 apply
5. I work out 6 mornings a week for 45 minutes. Joey’s awesome lower body DVD is the bomb!
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Disgusting, nauseating and jiggle.
2. Depressed!!! oh yeah and embarrassed and definitely disgusting.
3. My main goal is to build some lean legs with a rear end. I have no rear end only cellulite! I have large boobs and a humongous belly. I work in an office and I would like to be able to wear clothes like the other girls in the office do. Nothing looks good on me!!! My boyfriend use to never point out my flaws, until one day we were hiking up a hill and he made a comment about how all the girls are soooo pretty and there I was with all my rolls hanging out….ouch! It makes me not want to do outside activities around other people.
4. Confident, happy and very very sexy!
5. I’m a mother of two and work in an office all day. I could devote about 30 minutes to an hour after or before work.
Please help me….
Thanks in advance!!!!
Melissa
1. My problem ares are my love handles and my upper thighs and butt.
2.They make me feel ugly and angry.
3.My lower body would be smaller and toned and lood great in any pair of jeans
4.I would feel happy and confident
5. I am willing to spend 30 minutes a day
1) my worst problem spots are from my knees up to my waist.
2) they make me feel heavy, unattractive
3) my main goal for my lower body is to get it fit and toned, tight..it would mean more to me than anyone else..
4) definitly feel more attractive..but here again it is more for me than anyone..(everyone else thinks I look great)
5) I would (will) devote whatever amount of time it would take, be it daily, every other day and time wise, I guess the sky’s the limit.
Hi Joey,
I’m 39 years old my height is 5′6 and weight is 132 lbs. I have 3 boys and never had to worry about my weight. I’ve always tried to work out at least 3 to 4 times a week. My problem area is what some people call the Saddle bag the side of your thighs and some cellulite on my legs. I do at least 25 to 30 min. of cardio. and some light weight lifting. I also do lunges. I have a dimple on my left thigh and was wondering if that would possible ever go away?
Thanks,
Josie
1. My REAL problem spots are all upper, belly, and that piece of flesh that seems to pop out between my strappy tops and my shoulders/under arms! As for my lower half, it’s just the bit of flesh on the top of my inner thighs and my hips, kind of fleshy & wobbly.
2. At the moment as my holidays are 3.5 weeks away quite depressed and low. I wouldn’t say unattractive but am dreading baring all!
3. My lower body, what I call my lower body … from just above my hips down… would be toned & scuplted.
4. I’d definitely feel happier … My BIG problem is continuity & will power. I want “now” not in a few weeks therefore I give up very easily.
5. I’d do it every day, 30 minutes, have a young child so limited time during the day. Bring it On ….
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? My whole body is a problem spot. Heavy hips and thighs, thick abdomen, heavy chest and arms.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? I feel unattractive, fat, tired, anry.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? legs would not be bulky, but lean and muscular, slim hips, nice firm butt–high and rounded. I would be able to wear nice jeans, and slim pants
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…? I would feel like any woman would…sexy, attractive, confident.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…? What I would spend and what I realistically have are two different things. I have approx 1/2 an hour every day to spend on exercise. I could push it to 40 min.
1) legs have cellulite and no tone to them. I’m about 15lbs overweight, stomach no longer flat, arms no longer toned.
2) They make me feel depressed, embarrassed, disgusted.
3) Rounder butt, smaller waist, very toned legs, NO! cellulite. I would love to wear a bikini again. I would love to look in the mirror and love what I see. Make me feel sexy again in front of my husband.
4) I would feel sexy, confident, happy, etc….
5) I’m willing to devote at least 5 days a week, 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. a day
Main problem area–saddle bags, thunder thighs
Makes me feel self-conscious
Maingoal is to be rid of this problem
I think I’d get my self-confidence back
Right now, I could only devote 20 to
35 minutes
1: My stomach & abdomen (after having twins), my back, arms & my thighs are all too large!
2: I feel angry that I put on more weight post baby, I am depressed about it & am finding it hard to feel sexy
3: Main goal: shape & tone up, flat stomach, thighs that don’t meet, no back fat , sixpack stomach, very toned, lean muscular body. I would be more confident , be able to go shopping for clothes that fit properly & feel like a Yummy Mummy!
4 : Very happy, very sexy, strong, fit, be able to be a great mom & very confident in all aspects of my life!
5: I’m willing & able to dedicate 30-40mins a day to achieve this! As a mom to 6mth old twins, timing is everything!
1. My inner thighs and love handles are my problem areas.
2. They make me feel unattractive and depressed.
3. If I could magically fix my problem areas, my thighs would be 2 inches smaller, and I’d like to take about 3 inches off my stomach. I could fit in my skinny jeans again, and not feel like they accentuate my curves that did not exist a year ago!
4. I’d be more confident once these problem areas are under control. Im very self conscious, especially since it’s bathing suit season.
5. I’ve been working for about an hour a day trying to fix my problem areas. Im very out of shape, but I hope to be able to add another half hour to that.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? Slight jelly belly (yuck!) and worst problem big thights, flabby inner thighs
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? fat & ugly, second-rate, embarrassed, unsexy, frustrated cos i work hard at getting rid of the fat
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? my thighs would not rub together at the tops to start with! Slim thighs would be my dream
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…? sexy, accomplished, very happy
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…? as long as it takes – 60 mins upward
1. My stomach, my hips and butt. Specially my hips, they WILL NOT GET SMALLER!!
2. Sometimes angry and depressed. Embarrased also. Its frustrating, cuz im kind of lazy, and shy so i dont wanna go to the gym cus its a bit embarrasing. So i work out at home, but i need good music, which i dont always have.
3. I would trim my hips a lil bit, not a lot i like hips, but mine are just way too big. N i’d lift my butt a lil, i like it big, but i’d like it to be like Bonita Applebum. I’d like tight abs not a six pack but like barely showin, also with the sexy “V” shape. I’d where tighter jeans that show my butt, but dont lift my love handles. I’d go out much more than i do know, more comfortable with my body.
4. Definetly confident, sexy, happier yes. Less self concious when im with another man. I wouldn’t envy my three skinny ass sisters.
5. I try to get in 40 minutes of elliptic machine and 10 of your exercies u posted on the web, plus extra abs. On weekends sooometimes i fall behind though.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
I belive mine are the back of my legs and my butt.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?
These areas make me feel tired. I work out alot and pay attention and take advice from this website and other… yet I don’t see results.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
I would like to slim down my legs yet maintain my muscel. I have the common problem of being in shape and working out smartly yet I suffer from cellulite… not bad but bad enough to make me wonder if I’m working out hard enough.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
If these things were improved it would motivate me even more at the gym. Yes to sound vain and shallow, it would make me feel sexy, attractive, empowered and confident and all the “ect’s” a girl could come up with.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
I am currently deployed to Iraq, where there is a small gym open 24 hours a day. At this point I spend about two hours a day at the gym. I do a long cardio workout and depending on the day I do lower body or upper body (both are important to me).
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? The area right below my lower hips to right above my knees.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? I am angry that I do not feel able to stay consistent in my reshaping of my lower body. I am a former swimwear model so this is really hard for me to deal with, I never had issues with my weight nor cellulite.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
If I could just go back to how I looked I would be satisfied. I long to walk the beach as I used to, no cover-up just a cute little bikini or thong suit.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
Very sexy and very empowered.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
If I could see results with just 20 minutes a day I would be thrilled.
(1)My lower part of my belly, hip & thigh is in a pretty bad condition. I need a miracle to lose this some weight
(2) I feel embarrassed & ugly.
(3) If I had a wand , I’ll wave it and 40 lbs will disappears in thin air. I will have the confident to go in the store to purchase clothes. to put on my slim long jeans I will feel sexy, just to get in them
(4) I will feel empowered, confident.
(5) 30 to 45 mins

1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
I live with Multilple Sclerosis. Therefore, I have a problem developing in the areas that suffer from the affects of MS. I cannot for the life of me develop in my calve area. I understand that there are two different muscles in the calve area. Yet, I can get nothing to work for me. I have tried heavy weight/ low reps. Low weight/ high volume. I have tried seated/ standing/elevated. That is my worst area. My legs look like Johnny Bravo in a dress. LOL!!!
2. – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?
None of the above. I train from time to time. Yet, I do not and will not wear shorts to the gym or anywhere else. I would love to be able to do that. It would also help me to stay cool during my workouts oppose to the sweats I wear.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
I would love to have a nice toned bottom and calves. This magic wand you speak of would allow me to have the legs for the sexy little dresses that my husband buy for me. It would also help me to feel a little more confident when MS comes to steal my day.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
I workout 5, sometimes 6 days a week for a hour and 15 mins. All free weights. I do no cardio. I am 5′3″, 127lbs. My metabolism is out the roof. I take weight gain to be able to maintain the weight I do have. Oh yeah, by the way, I’m 40 years old.
Girls,
not wanting to detract fromJoey here, but the common them im hearing is youll be happy WHEN – when you have tight thighs and can wear a bathing suit. You need to change your perspective. You need to be happy NOW and anything else is just gravy. its difficult to do but you need to start appreciating and loving you just as you are. If someone cut off that wibbly wobble cellutite covered leg – youd want it back wouldnt you? even if it was COVERED in cellulite and youd NEVER get rid of it?
Appreciate what you have. Get happy now. the rest will follow. If you beat yourself up cos you dont look like a model youll undoubtedly fall into traps that will keep you exactly where you are.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NOW. LOVE YOURSELF NOW.

5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
Answer:
1 hour per day or sometimes 1/2 an hour depends on work load
1. I am 21, 5′6 and 112lbs, and I’m quite unhappy with the way my legs, butt and hips look. Luckily, I don’t have any cellulite, but these areas of my body are not as toned and thin as I would like them to be.
2. These problem areas make me feel depressed, ugly and frustrated.
3.
Main goals:
* To decrease the size of my hips from 33.5 inches to 32.5 inches.
* To tone up and slim down my legs, especially my calves since they’re not as thin as I would like them to be.
* To decrease the size of my bum and tone it up.
* To tone up my thighs.
If I achieved these goals, I would feel sexier and more confident in skinny jeans and tights. If I could wave a magic wand over my entire lower body area, I would have the legs, bum and hips of Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosia (her pre- pregnancy body ofcourse).
4. I would feel sexy, attractive, confident and pretty.
5. I am willing to devote at least 5 days a week, 1 hour each day.
1. Flabby – I was doing your stuff and pole dancing – and was getting some great results – all over…pole dancing is not for the unfit – then I tore a muscle in my right forearm and had to give it up for a while….and whilst I still exercise 2-3 times a week – I feel fatter, my clothes are definitely tighter.
2. Fatter than before, and wonder what my partner sees in me
3. UK 10-12 – that’s about a reduction of 10-15cm off the hips, tighter legs and butt
4. Amazing – I know that each area impacts on another, so getting this right will be one of the keys
5. I’d love to say as long as it takes – but I do only have a couple of spare hours a week – and those are also needed for my home business (I also work full time on another job) and as a writer one tends to sit down a lot…so anything that shortens the cycle – compounding exercises together to get the best training in a reasonable length of time would be good.
1). My lower belly – below the belly button but above the pub line. Lots of surgery there so lots of Scar tissue ! Hard to get rid of with exercise. I call it a Roo Pouch !
2). I feel embarrassed and depressed.
3). My main goal is to keep doing the LBHT Makeover and Abs Steel That I got from you. Maybe surgery to remove some scar tissue.
4) How I would feel afterward. Heck I feel great now ! I also had a lot of complements from people I don’t even know that well. Since I have been using your LBHT Makeover my energy level has shot through the roof and the weight is coming off at a decent rate of 1 to 2 pounds a week. When this pouch is gone I will feel Fantastic and like a new woman.
5). I alternate days; 3 days a week for Core, and 3 days a week for LBHT on level 2 One time at 15 to 20 reps for each exercise. I go the full length of the program plus the stretching before and After your class. I wish there were more lower belly exercises. But It just may be that the scar tissue has grown so much that I am going to have to get it removed surgically. Your programs really do work if you work them. I am truly happy that I ran across you on the net and joined your group. Thanks so very much !!!

1. I think my ‘problem spots’ are just layers of flab tha hide future great legs and butt
2. They don’t exactly make me feel a certain way, since whenever I start to feel put down I think about all the people I know that have it worse off.
3. I would love to have toned and slender legs, which I am certain I can achieve. Having a better lower body would make me more confident about not being judges for being out of shape and I would definitely start wearing shorter dresses and skirts.
4. Attractive
5. About 20 minutes to half an hour
1. Squishy lower abs and thick, wide thighs with cellulite dimples around the knees
2. Frustrated, annoyed, and restricted
3. If I could wave a wand, my thighs would look slim and long, my calves would be sculpted, and my butt would be tiny with no flab
4. I would feel confident in my ability to function as an athlete and to play team games without being ashamed of the way I look when I run around.
5. Probably 45 minutes…4-5 times a week
Problem areas are inner thighs(yuck/jiggle), outer thighs, hips, butt, stomach and back of arms.
Makes me embarrassed to wear anything but long pants.
I would have firm thighs, tight butt, toned stomach and no jiggle arms.
I would feel sexy and wear a swimsuit!
45min to an hour- everyday
My problem area is below my breasts to above my knees. I sork traveling on the road so my exercising is not consistent
1 – My worst areas are the back of my legs and my bum (I dread admitting it but it looks like cellulite to me…).
2 – I am disappointed in myself for letting this happens. I have always trained hard (road races, triathlons) but I really let myself go over the past year and I can’t believe how hard it is to get back to the shape I was a year ago.
3 – I have been following your program for the past 3 months and I can feel that under that layer of fat, there are very tone muscles indeed so ideally, I need to get rid of the fat. As for the rest of my body, I wouldn’t actually change a thing. I have a very flat stomach, tone upper body but I guess I would feel even sexier if I was 100% happy with my upper legs.
4 – PROUD! Proud that I have managed to get back into shape with good old hard work. I am now 33 and I know that it is getting harder to keep in shape that is why it is important for me to get the best body possible now as if I don’t, it will be even harder in two years’ time!
5 – My priority is to get those defined legs back so I am happy to temporarily sacrifice other aspects of my life to get the results I want. That means daily gym visits for cardio and resistance training.
My problem areas are from my knees up to my waist. It makes me feel ugly and depressed and embarresed. I would like to tone and firm up my thighs, butt, hips and waist so I can feel sexy and good and not feel stupid in my bikini. I also want to be healthy and super fit. I will definately make time to exercise for no less than an hour to 45 minutes.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
- Legs (including thighs) are little heavy in comparison to upper part. due to loose skin it looks more ugly.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?
-I feel depressed while wearing shorts.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
-I would have tight and slim thighs so that i would wear short skirts.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
-Sexy and attractive
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
- 1 hour each day
Hi Joey,
My problem areas are my breasts,and awful belly fat.
My thighs and butt are OKAY, but could also use some
toning. I would like an excercise programme that I could do at home for 35 minutes.
Thank you so much! Your emails are very encouraging. Helps to know that someone cares out there!!!!
Regards
Sharon

2. As negative as can be.
3. Flat & tight. Won’t have to wear baggy clothes anymore.
4. Much happier with myself.
5. Every other day or even everyday for at least 45 minutes. I’m one of the few lucky people who build muscles very quickly. Maybe I have my own steroids? lol
1 my tummy 2 ugly 3.none 4empowered& confident 5 40 min
I am 27yrs old, 157 cms tall &104 pounds
1) Worst problem: cellulite on butts and upper thighs, fat stuck on sides and lower belly, untoned body.
2) I have a major inferiority complex, feel horrible around men and feel depressed when I can’t buy nice fashion clothes.
3) wishful thinking: toned body, flat stomach & no cellulite. It would make me feel amazing and confident and wear all the clothes that I just keep looking at but can’t wear.
4) Happy and confident
5) I 40 mins of workout athome 4-5 days a week, includes stationary running and stretches. I don’t like to do weights. Guess I would be comfortable with this kind of time on regular basis
1. How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
It would be my cellulites al ower my but,thighs,legs, my but is to big and so is my thights for the rest off my body.
And I don`t like my knees.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?

I wold like to have a small but that fits with the rest off my body, firm and thinner thights and no cellulits so I can feel good about my self and wear the cloths I always wanted to wear.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?

I would devote 70minutes or more for it to happend, allredy I run 3 times a week and now have started with your program 3 timed a week.
Truly hope you can help me, It wold mean a lot to me.
Thanks
It makes me feel ugly, I cant wear the cloths I want, my waist is small, but my but is to big to have on what I want and I hate going to the beach because then everybody can see my cellulites.
But I have allways exersise a lot and eat healthy food most off the time
Q1:Yuk, ugly… flabby, cellulite infested and butt and thighs. tummy a little on the flabby side, but not all bad. Hectic love handles on the hips and fat packed upper arms.
Q2:I’m not unhappy every day all day, just when i buy new clothes,look at myself in the mirror. When i am in a mood of unhapiness i feel ugly and a little depressed. I cant seem to get enough effort to help myself.
Q3: i would like my body to not have love handles or stretch marks. Would love a smooth textured skin that is tight and doesnt jiggle when you walk or run. I would like a smoother, tighter tummy, smaller boobsand a good curvacious body all roung.
Q4: Confident a high regard for myself and to feel like when i walk in a room or go out that men would turn their eyes and look at who this babe is thats walking. I’d be happy and would be scared to try clothes i would otherwise not even pay attention to.
Q5: At the moment with what you have sent me over the e-mail Joey i have tried to incororate it at home, but with work, church devotion and getting people fed at night i find it hard to motivate myself to excercise or actually stop doing other things and rather excercise. I would say i could get about a 20min – 30min workout done after work if i really took time out.
Problem-Thighs
Feel-Ugly
Goal-Thin thighs
Feel- Confident
I have 2 hrs to execsie
1) waist, stomach, thighs and knees and back of arms
2) annoyed because I am a perfectionist
3) flat tummy, muscular thighs (legs) , well tuned arms, NO cellulitis. Has no effect on my relationships, but would I fit clothes (pants) better.
4) I feel happy, attractive and confident now. It’s just this little extra feeling of being in excellent shape.
5) 10-15 min each morning before having my shower.
1. My upper thighs are fat. Larger than they used to be and flabby. Little bit of cellulite, luckily. But is saggy too.
2. Ugly, depressed, why did I let myself go. Embarressed because everyone can see I’ve picked up weight!!!!
3. I would have firm thighs! Thinner than now! I would look sexy in jeans and my butt would be frim too.
4. I would feel so confident and strut my stuff! People would ask me what I did!
5. three times a week, 30 minutes a session
1 – my worst problem spots. I would describe them as ‘…ewww jeeze what the hells wrong with your legs!’ I have cellulite on my thighs and on behind, and its just not a nice view.
2 – I hate having these problems, it scares me because i dont know what people think of me, and this day and age being about judging the book by it cover it makes me feel bad and insignificant. it angers me something crazy because i cant wear things that im comfortable in because people might see the problems. im always in long pants and im only just starting to wear shorts in public again.
3 – If i could change my lower appearance just like that id have my thighs toned and smooth looking, and those over hanging flab bars wouldnt be there. nice and smooth through to meet the waist line like it should. It would be great to actually wear the skirts and shorts, Id be happy to get a light tan and play sports like soccer or tennis with out feeling like the ball so to say. Ahh and swimming, id swim in a swimming out fit. not the long shorts and sleaved shirts.
4 – Id feel alive again. thats all i can say. id feel alive, confident and not half bad looking either. Id do things that i would never have even contemplated doing before the mess.
5 – I could spend up no less that 20 minutes, no more than an hour. it depends on whether or not im given the privacy. but 70% of the occasion i am.
Thanks Joey, im so glad i found this website. its made me a whole lot more aware of how all these sort of things work.
1 – Ugly, no tight, puckered, dimpled
2 – Depressed, embarrassed and less sexy
3 – To loose that look of “mom” syndrome. I want a firm butt and thighs and I want to be proud to wear a pair of short-shorts or a swim suit.
4 – Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, YES, YES, and YES
5 – I wouldn’t want to do more than an hour a day probably 5-6 times per week.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
I have huge hips and thighs, with cellulite appearance. I also have huge calves.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?
I feel embarrased especially when I wear a skirt and so for the most part I’m in trousers.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
I think that I will have no belly fat and slim and sexy legs. I think that since I have a very active life, my legs will be able to carry my body and so i would carry on my activities smoothly without getting tired of carry my lower body with difficulty.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
I will feel happy, sexy but most important fit.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
Probably 70minutes
1. flabby belly and sagging breast
2.depressed
3.do away with cellulites and have a firm lower body. I would like to improve my breasts and belly
4.Sexy and attractive
5.45 minutes
1.Flabby tummy.
2.Frustrated.
3.Toned ,fit and strong.
4.Confident and in control of my body.
5.30 minutes to 1 hour daily.
1. My worst problem spots are my big arms, my stomach and my inner thighs(cellulite).
2. I am embarassed to wear shorts or skirts because of my cellulite and I usually don’t wear sleeveless tops due to my big arms. (I’m 5′1 and 138lbs)
3. My goal for my lower body will be to tone up my thighs and reduce the appearence of cellulite/ get rid of it completely.
4. If I could get rid of the cellulite in my inner thighs I would feel so much more confident. I’m a student at fsu and we’re known for wearing our short little butty shorts with fsu on them. I just want to get to a point where I can wear them if I choose to.
5. Because I do work and go to school I am willing to dedicate 30 mins 3x’s a week. Please help me joey!
1. wiggly, flabby, dimpled thighs
2. embarrassed, ugly, old, lazy
3. tight, muscular legs is my goal. I could wear anything and be uninhibitted around my husband.
4. I would feel confident, strong and sexy
5. 30 minutes daily would be ideal
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? “Apart from the slight flabbiness on my tummy from childbirth, I think I hate my thighs the most. They are completely off course with the rest of my body, all flabby and big with cellulite at the back. I hate looking at them!”
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? “Self-concious would probably be the best answer, although embarassed is pretty close. I can look great in a bikini, except for these thighs.”
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? “Oooh, I would love a magic wand to rid myself of all the flabbiness and cellulite that is between my hips and knees. They would be nice and supple, not to mention slightly toned. I could wear my fav mini-shorts again!”
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…? “I’d be extremely confident and happy, and I know my hubby would think me that much sexier for it.”
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…? “I’m willing to devote time every other day, no matter the length. Naturally, I don’t have all the time in the world, but I’d be willing to make room!”
1. Problem Areas: untoned abs, arms and thighs.
2. These areas make me feel less confident about myself.
3. I want a lean body. I want a well shaped and toned lower and upper body. I want sexy legs and a tight mid section. I want to look good in a two piece swimsuit by October 2008.
4. If this were to happen …words can’t explain how I’d feel.
5. I have between 35 mins to an hour daily to work out.
1. My worst area is below the knee – small unshapely calves.
2. During the spring/summer months, I feel embarrassed/depressed because I never wear dresses, capris or shorts.
3. If I could wave a magic wand, I would add more curvy muscle/bulk to my thighs and calves. Making this change would mean I would feel comfortable doning skirts/shorts.
4. Due to me balancing my figure, I’d feel more attractive, a lot less self-conscience and more confident. (I feel pretty good otherwise)
5. I’m already pretty disciplined in the exercise area, exercise is a way of life for me, so my attitude is whatever it takes, I’d do it. (5 minutes to 90 minutes)
1 – From a visual perspective, the worst problem spots are around the middle. Stomach, love handles, thighs.
2 – The problem spots make me feel ugly, depressed, and embarrassed to be seen.
3 – For the lower body, the goal is to trim up and get shapley, toned, strong legs. It would mean that I could start jumping again in skating and I would wear more shorts this summer.
4 – Being fit and looking good improves my confidence and I feel more attractive, happy and sexy.
5 – Time… I would be willing to devote 10-15 minutes/day to improve my leg strength.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? Abs, Thighs, Hips, Back
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? Fat, Embarrassed, Anxiety
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? If I could instantly change my lower body my inner thighs would no longer giggle and be as tight as my quads, and back of thighs. My caves would have the defining line they use to have.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…? Exremely sexy, confident, more happy..
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…? I would be willing to spend 20 extra minutes devoted to my lower half along with my 20-45 minute regular exercise, short but intense….

Joey dear,I would place the magic wand over my tummy which I want to be flat and over my thighs.I always feel embarrassed when I remove my clothes in the presence of my husband and when I walk the streets I am very conscious of myself.I am feel sad when I look through my wardrobe and see that all those my lovely clothes are no longer my size. I exercise about 20-30 minutes a day.
Hi,
Well, Answers.
1. Worst problems spots – the top of my legs so my thighs. And my bum.
2. I feel anxious and sort of scared too wear my short shorts and skirts. Im ok with my body i just want to strut and be more confident.
3. I would really love to simply just be more toned. i dont want to lose weight…maybe a bit. But just really firm up and firm it all. My Stomach especially and my thighs for definate. Im going on a modelling shoot in 3 weeks and would love to feel really confident.
4. I would feel sexy and confident…and be able to strut around my shoot.
5. I have only just started to work 9 – 5.30 every week day so im normally really tired when i get home and collapse in bed. I would spend probably around 15 minutes a night, more at the weekend.
Thanks. xxxx
A.1. From a physical perspective, my worst problem area is my mid-drift section i.e. the stomach and obliques. After having a c-section and putting on weight, I’m finding this area very difficult to shift and being naturally large breasted, I would like them to reduce in size without having an operation. An overall body fat reduction would also be nice, trying to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight too.
A.2. Angry and depressed but determined to lose it.
A.3. A bigger bum, toned legs and thighs (although I’m quite muscular). If I could wave a magic wand my entire body would look like Riannah or Ciara, showing my waistline and over all body shape.
A.4. This would make me feel very sexy, confident and happy – choice of clothes would be more sexy and I would want to show off my body.
A.5. If I could find the ultimate series of exercises to burn the fat fast (medium/intense exercises tend to make me sweat i.e. interval training). I would dedicate, within reason, 35 – 70 minutes 3-6 times a week either at the gym or at home.
NB: I also suffer with varicose veins and have found the reduction of weight so far, has improved my condition.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
My problem areas are my butt and thighs.
I’m quite a slim built person butt my butt is so huge that my proportion looks really deformed. My thighs are really thick and flabby too, especially at the inner-thigh. My worst is deffinatly my butt though. It doesn’t sag, it just goes straight out asthough it’s trying to escape my body.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? They make me feel embarrassed, ugly, depressed and anxious. Im very cautious of what i wear on my bottom half so that the shape isn’t emphasized. I’m always paranoid that people are looking and noticing the hugeness of my butt and thighs and are thinking how ugly they look. I have really really small boobs, so my bottom half looks even bigger in comparison. I’m a pear shape to the ultimate.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? My thighs would be more toned. Not so they are bulky, but so they are tight and not wobbly. My butt would be really small and firm, so that i can wear the smaller sizes of jeans that i SHOULD be able to wear now if it wasn’t for my big butt getting in the way. I’d be able to wear smaller tops too because right now i buy long tops that cover my butt.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
I would feel alot more confident and deffinatly sexy. I would feel proud and flaunt everything about myself. Im very happy with my upper half (dispite the small boobs) so i would feel at my best. I have a few issues over my face, but my butt and thighs gets me down more because i feel i should have power to change those areas. My face is more forgivable.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
I could dedicate anywhere between half an hour to an hour a day. It depends on how motivated i am on the day.
Hi Joey,
Thank you for asking me these questions. My
problem is my tummy, my butt, lower thighs and
legs. I want a flat tummy, sexy waist, firm butt and shapely
legs. Having these things will make me feel
sexy and confident…Iwant to look good and
feel good at the same time.

1. Any gymnast knows the muscles that you build in your legs don’t stay muscle if you don’t work them… after years of gymnastics my legs were REALLY built up. Since I stopped gymnastics (years ago), that muscle in my butt and legs has become my nightmare! My legs are still big, but not muscle anymore and my butt is not my pride and joy anymore!! YUCK!
2. My butt and legs make me feel disappointed in myself for letting it go. I was soooo beautiful before (even though back then I didn’t like all the muscle, I’d rather have that than the flab and fat I have now!) Embarrassed for sure, ugly and depressed!
3. The magic wand would make me toned and defined… no more jiggle and no appearance of cellulite!
4. Would definitely feel sexy again… confidence comes with that I think!
5. I’m willing to devote whatever it takes… I just started the program yesterday… it was tough, but since I use to be quite athletic, I can tell already that this will work. Oh the burn… it’s awesome already!!
1- How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
My worst problems spots…would have to be all of my lower body by far. The upper half is not is shape by no means but does not look as bad as my lower body. It is full of cellulite…staddle bags…flabby..extremely ugle!!! I have an hourglass figure, but it is not toned at all.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? All of the above! I don’t wear short, even when it is extremely hot, I am too embarrased and ashamed. I don’t feel sexy…I do feel very ugly.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? Oh my goodness…a magic wand!!! I would have a toned, shapely lower body. I could wear shorts, have self confidence. I feel it would improve every aspect of my life…not that everything hangs on how I look. However if I felt great and wasn’t ashamed to even go outside, then I could do alot more with my son and husband.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…? Very confident…I would be more active…I could take my son to the park and not think twice about it. For sure all the above would apply!!!
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…? At this point…I am willing to do whatever it takes!!! Especially when I start seeing results.
I would say all over as far as some toning especially in my arms,thighs,and abdomin which is especially hard after my c-section and I have a little cellulite in my thighs and I would like to take off a good ten pounds I am a petite woman I a have a flat tummy but it’s not toned.I feel embarassed for abusing my over all health and I feel low on energy and I don’t have an appetite anymore I guess that’s due to the fact I’ve become so inactive.I weigh 120lbs. I am well proportioned I am big in no way but I can tell that I am in a unhealthy state because of my energy levels.Any amount of time it’ll take to get back in shape is fine by me.I just want my energy back and my appetite so I can play with my children but work outs are so routine and boring.I look great in my clothes and heads still turn most people think I’m 22 but I’m 31 so being attractive isn’t the problem I just want the old get up and go filled with energy self again.
hey joey ,i haven’t got the chance to tell you how super good your 1-8 exercises are, as i can see some progress in my thighs within 2 weeks of regular exercise.
as for the answers of your 5 questions:
1- my worst body spots are my upper arms , butt & thighs as i want to get red of cellulite in these areas .
2-sometimes i feel angry especially when my butt doesn’t look good in some clothes.
3- i want these areas to be firm , smooth & toned.
3-more confident that i can wear anything i want .
4- I’m trying to do your exercises every day but i can say for sure that i can devote 90 min for exercise at the gym every other day (including treadmill).
thank you joey for your care.
i hate my fleshy back…. and arms… also the upper portion of my stomach and my thighs… due to my working hours i can spend around 20 mins daily for my excercise and i would realy feel confident after achieving my goal which would also help me to improve the relationships in my life…….
1. legs, hips, butt
2. angry & ugly
3. legs & butt firm and smooth
4. i want to look sexy and feel empowered
5. 90 minutes
Good night!! Need I add anything??
It’s all aready up there. I would def. give whatever time you say EVERY day…
Am 55 and wished I had worked out years ago, am now trying to catch up; all the adjectives fit me as well, except that it is NOT getting me down. I am looking forward to the continued improvements that I am already seeing:)
I also must stick to the eating plan to keep imporoving on fat loss!
Dear Joey
I1) n continuation to my earlier posting I also wanted to mention that I have stubborn bulges on my outer thighs which I think are called saddle bags
2) They make me feel very comfortable especially when I have to sit for long durations
4) Getting rid of them would make me feel comfortable
5) Like I said I work out mostly every day for an hour atleast
Thank you
Look forward to your helpful suggestions
1. worst problems? stomach & legs, oversized breasts
2. how do I feel? we should have installed a very large mirror when we built our home, and i would not have got to this size-90kg, Aussie-sized 16
anti-depression tablets do not help with this particular part of depression – and they reduce my ability to a. want to exercise, b. lose weight
3. there is no magic wand … after 4 babies … pre-wedding size would be terrific but unachievable, a toned slim Aussie-sized 12 would be acceptable
4. i would feel better; about myself, with my marriage relationship, meeting new people
5. spare time? i could manage 1 hour if i could just get started.
1. My worst body spots are my fat stomach, uneven shaped hips and large thighs
2. They make me feel depressed, embarrassed & ugly
3. I want to have a flat stomach, defined hips and smaller thighs (to to keep in proportion with the rest of my legs, which are quite skinny). This would make me feel allot better about myself and give me confidence to be seen in my bathers in public. I would also be able to wear anything I wanted and look good in it.
4. I would definately feel happy, sexy, attractive and confident instead of feeling like a fat pig (even though I’m not very fat now, only in those problem spots which spoil everything).
5. I don’t want to devote too much time exercising every day because I don’t want it to become a chore, and I don’t have much spare time, so it would have to be something fun or quick. 20 or 35 minutes would be OK. I really enjoy drinking wine which is my only vice, so I want to be able to still do that.
Dear Joey Atlas! I apologize for eventual mistakes, I am not very good in writing english! Thanck you for all informations you send me till now!I have some questions:
I am 58 year,174 cm,85 kg! I want to bee still in good form and good health, I am certain I can achieve it whit your help.
My questions are :
1.For more than 4 years I have a big pain on ahill`s tendons( there was not an accident at all ). First 2 year`s just on one leg, then on both. The dr.`s say it is the aged problem, so I can do nothing. The pain is very strong at night. The tendons are sensitive all the time and at the touch and thicking.
I know, that if I loose some kilos(15), and making the wright exercises I can strenghten my body and my health.
I am asking you to propose some exercise for my case, if there is some.
2.you are speaking abouth “stevia”. I am from Europe and precisely from Slovenija, where this sugar is not allowed and there is not such supliment. Do you have some idea how I can reach stevia?
Thanks for all and by from Dana
I answer the last question :
1. I feel bad, painful and fat
2.depressed, ugly and sad
3.painless, skinny and atractive
4.helthy, confident and happy
535 minutes/day
1. legs, hips, butt,abs
2. angry & ugly
3. thin legs.,sexy butt,and perfect abs
4. i want to look sexy and feel empowered
5. 120 minutes
1. butt, hip, thigh area
2. depressed
3. proper shape of lower body
4. i feel very happy after getting proper shape
5. 30 minutes
1. saddlebags, thighs that painfully rub against each other, wide saggy butt, muffin top belly,
2. It makes me feel very insecure, sometimes angry, sad and embarrassed. It really depresses me being this out of shape considering i’ve never even had kids yet.
3. My main goal is to get rid of this unhealthy weight i’ve slowly gained over the past several years, along with shaping and toning the lower body. If I could wave the magic wand my lower body would look long, lean, curvy, cellulite-free, firm, trim, etc… If this happened I know i would have the best times in my life shopping for shorts, dresses, jeans, swimsuits, lingerie, etc….It would definitely be a great boost of confidence in my relationship with my boyfriend (even though he loves me for who i am and how i look already). It will give me a lot more time to focus on other things b/c if i am in better shape i won’t have to stress and dwell on it all the time.
4. After these improvements I would feel proud that i put a lot of effort and good hard work into changing my lower body, excited to see myself really fit in my 20’s , confident to do anything, sexy being able to wear things i just thought i’d never in my life thought i could wear, stronger not carrying all of these awful pounds and extra inches, and most importantly healthy.
5. i’m willing to put between 30 minutes every other day (that’s when i’m not at the gym)
1. Bulgy outer thighs; fatty inner thighs that rub and chafe;and saggy butt.
2. Depressed and frustrated.
3. To smooth/tone outer thigh bulges; loose inner thigh bulges; lift/tighten butt and loose butt creases. Would feel 100% better in shorts and swimwear.
4. Ecstatic and younger.
5. I’m retired, very fit, and already doing Resistance Gym; Interval Cardio; walking; Step, Body Balance, Circuit and Spin Classes on 4/5 days per week. So whatever it takes! I’ve eaten a good, well-balanced diet for years and am a healthy weight but would like to lose about 4/5 kg. round the thighs. Rest of my body is fine.
Hi! my problem is in my hips and butt. I would like to have these parts thinner and proportional to my upper body. I also like to have a toned and firm body specially my arms free of cellulite. No doubt I will feel much more relaxed and confident with an imporved body. I am ready to dedicate 20 minutes every day towards this goal. Thanks
1 -Saddlebags, flabby thighs and upper arms, love handles, stomach, the usual.. oh and a HUGE butt
2 – Irritated
3 -To lose weight and get a more toned lower body and a smaller butt
4 – Less stressed and a lot more carefree
5 – About 40 minutes
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? I’m 62 so the physical and visual are not good. From my waist down to my hips and the top of my legs are the worst areas. I weigh 116 at 5′1. My frame is petite but the extra weight makes me look horrible
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…? All of the above. I want to wear jeans again.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…? My body would look like it did four years ago, petite. I wear nice clothes but they just don’t look as good on me as they use to.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…? More attractive, confident.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…? I would like to spend an hour. I just started walking again. I walk 4 miles every other day.
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective?
My worst problem spots are my tummy, thighs, hip and butt. Especially my thighs and butt have cellulite and my tummy is a little loose from pregnancy.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, fearful, embarrassed, ugly, etc…?
Embarrassed, sometimes depressed when I find i’m working so hard on them and i see no improvement.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc…?
My main goal for my lower body is to slim and firm/tone my thighs and firm up my butt. It would make me feel more comfortable when i wear bathing suits, skirts, shorts and dresses.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, etc, etc…?
I would feel more confident and happier with myself.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? 20 minutes, 35 minutes, 70 minutes, etc, etc…?
Currently, i spend approx. 1 hr a day 5 d/w working different parts of my body and doing different things like strength training, yoga, aerobics and a little kickboxing.
1) Problem below the belly button but above the pub line. Due to Caesarean section i had 20 years ago. Belly kind of crinkly and lose eventhough i have done thousand times of crunches!
2) Angry despite all the years of efforts i put in.
3) Definitely choice of clothes. I would like to have a smaller hips and firmer butts. At times out of frustration i console myself by saying ‘its genetic’ that’s nothing much i could do. My mum has big hips and butts! Bcos i have lost count on the number of lunges i have done in these years.
4) Absolutely happy and confident.
5) I work out 3 times a week in a gym. I usually spend about 30 minutes doing lower body exercises. Followed by a 15 minutes of good stretching.
Hi Joey,
First who loves ya baby, I love Telly Savalas!
Joey, this would be how I would describe my worst problem spots abdomen, chesty, & hips.
All of these areas have loose skin, ripply feel, stretch marks, & ugliness to them.
Joey, these ugly images cause anger, blame, bitterness, depression, embarrassed, fearful of people judging me, & being ugly!
As the main goal for my lower body this would be to sculpt everything not just one area.
If a wand could be waved over the entire body… it would look beautiful, svelte, & toned.
It would mean a beauty deep within has developed, & better life principles are in focus now.
Relationships would be most enjoyable being thin because clothing would be sexier like bikinis!!
Joey, you know exactly how this would make anyone feel they would be attractive, confident, empowered to do anything for themselves/others, happy, & for once sexy!!!
As for the amount of time devoted to working out I would be willing to work, hard on a daily to whatever it takes basis for the best results.
Joey, if you have ideas on how to begin creating the ultimate dream body please let me know.
Warmly,
Hillary
1.my worst problem are glute, thighs ( inner and outter), lower belly
2.depressed, ugly, trying to hide and be invisible. I want to fit in jeans and skirts
3.slim, firm, and tone, have nice looking legs, it means a whole world to my relationships since fear of being rejected always is the issue that guys judge me for how i look like not the personality, be confident.
4.confident, better self steem and a happier
5.at least 2hrs on daily bases, I am willing to do anything to firm and shape my lower body
1. My lower thighs are toned, but my upper thighs are saggy. My worst body part is my lower stomach under the navel.
2. The thighs, stomach, are truly firmless. My but could use some fat off it to. The but go wide and thick, and seems that it just sits there. It is not a bertha-butt, but i do need to loose, 44 hips.
3.If I had a magic wand, I would flatten the belley, and the ultimate size would be 36-28-40, now I am 36-32-44. I would fit better in my suits size 14, and my overall out look for business would be great.
4. I would feel if I could conquer the world. I also would share all your information with my two thick neices.
5. I am willing to workout3 to 4 times aweek, especially , if I see the results fast. i will also add a nice jog on saturdays, I would like to know , what is the best way to get the fastest results. thank you for your time.

Joey,
I just did the Trouble spot tune up for the first time yesturday and boy I could feel that I worked those muscles all day long. I believe you stated to do this 2-3 times a week. I felt with my 57inch hips I need all the help I can get. I also started Holly’s program this week so I felt that I could do her workout 3 days a week and your Trouble spot tune up in between… IS THIS OK? I have been working out for a while. With eating healthy and walking/aerobics I am down 50lbs since January but really have NOT seen a DRASTIC change in my clothes. I really want to work on my lower body. Is it ok to do the two together or will it be to much for me to handle?
1)my legs,thighs,knees,hips n stomach.i just hate the way i look.specially my knees.i cant wear a short dress due to my bulgy knees.
2)all of them.i feel depressed,down,embarassed n everything.sometimes i feel m so unlucky.
3)I would feel happy.theres no problem with my dear ones.they say i am perfect.But i know m nt.i would be thrilled if i could wear a straight fit jeans with a short tshrt.
4)happy, thrilled ,confident.
5)60mins everyday.i do workout a bit everyday bt no use!!
1. bicycle tire just below my waist, slight bulging stomach but worst is the fat arms..
2. i feel unattractive, get depressed when trying clothes and unproportional
3.i want to be toned all over and have a flat stomach
4.i would feel attractive, love myself more and goin my confidence
5, 40-50min everyday
1. i am thik and im starting to show celulite but the thing that bothers me is my stomach.
2. i get depressed looking at my stomach and celulite
3.i would tighten up my legs and butt so i could by clothes that fit, and be secure in the way my behind looks.
4.i think i would have more confidents.
5.i think i would take an hour out of the day to perfect my body.
1) From just below my hips all around to my knees – ugly dimpled cellulite.
2) All the above – I live in SA I go to the beach wrapped in a towel or baggies to below my knees!! Very depressed & embarrassed in front of my husband hate dressing or undressing in front of him.
3) To GET RID OF CELLULITE – would mean so much to my relationship to have smooth firm shapely legs & butt
4) All those things – definately happy sexy attractive self confidence
5) I go to gym 6 days a week already – with little improvement to size shape – but NO DEFERENCE TO CELLULITE – am willing to do ANYTHING !!!! I just need RESULTS!!!!!!
1 – How would you describe your worst problem spots, from a physical, visual perspective? All over. I am 60 lbs overweight but most of it is below the waist. Upper body my arms are jiggly and out of shape, my stomach needs work, and of course my lower body in general. I have lost 30 lbs and I am continuing to lose but sometimes it seems that I am losing more on my chest which I cannot afford but oh well. Ha Ha.
2 – How do these problem areas make you feel? Angry, depressed, embarrassed, and ugly.
3 – What is your main goal for your lower body? If you could wave a magic wand over your entire lower body area – What would it look like and what would it mean to other aspects of your life? As in relationships, choice of clothes, etc, etc? Lose the fat, tight and muscular thighs, tight butt, tight and muscular calves, etc. I would have more confidence in myself. I would definitely wear more dresses, skirts, and shorts.
4 – How would you then ‘feel’ after these improvements? Happy, sexy, attractive, empowered, confident, all of it.
5 – How much time are you willing to devote, daily or every other day, to a home exercise routine in order to achieve your most coveted lower body improvement goals? Whatever it takes. 20 minutes – 60 minutes. Anything over and it would have to be broken up into different time frames. Gotta work and take care of family.
I’m 45, slim and I run regularly and I still feel like the tops of my thighs are ugh! Jiggly and mushy looking. It makes me want to keep them covered up. A magic wand would make my thighs smooth and muscular like THEY SHOULD LOOK! I would gladly put in the time daily if I felt I would REALLY get results.
1. My thighs rub together and touch even while im standing up- cellulite on the back, my butt is huge with cellulite all across it and my stomach isnt as tight as it should be.
2.I feel embarrassed to wear a bathing suit and i feel ugly everytime i look in the mirror at myself. Im 17 years old and i should not feel this way about myself.
3.I would have a flatter tummy, a smaller and tighter butt, my thighs would be small and toned and firm.
4.I would feel like a 17 year old should. Sexy, confident, happy, and just over all fantastic
5.I can give 30- 45 min every day. I’ll do whatever it takes!
I would be so much happier. I would do whatever it takes to have thin legs to match my top half which is OK
I am depressed now about it. Sorry, if it’s stupid and other things are important, but to me it’s different. There’s not much good in my life right now, I wish I could just love myself at least. =-[
Hi joey..
I am 31 years old and I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 15.
My Hips and thighs are big..especially my thigs..I can’t wear any pants or jeans that will show my thighs.
I did do weight training exercises but it didn’t help that much, I still do exercises mainly Pilates but still no improvement.
I am willing to give an hour everyday for a work out,even more.
This is the area which I dont like the most and I would feel more confident and happy if I can loose my thighs.
Heys there. ^^
I’m currently 17 years of age and dreading the way I look. I’ve been to the gym and the such for 2 years and my problems have only gotten worse. My thighs have been rubbing together since I was 12 or so, and lately I’ve noticed I have a horrible case of cellulite on my butt and the sides of my legs. I feel so uncomfortable and scared even; I hate it so much and I feel so frustrated that nothing has worked.
I’ve always wanted to walk without my legs jiggling, be able to use the skirts and dresses I dare not touch (despite me loving them) and being able to kiss good-bye to cellulite for the first (and hopefully only time) ever. I’d be so much happier, and be feel ‘worthy’ for my lover. I’d know for sure I won’t disappoint him. Yay for self confidence! ^^
I’d dedicate anywhere between 10 minutes to 2 hours. My body is very important to me and I will do anything I can (that I can actually be guaranteed that will work) to make it feel and look better.
Thank you for opening my eyes to reality! ^^
1. I have cellulite over my but and at the back of my legs, the sides and the front up to my knee. I also have the roll at the side of my middle just above the hipbone (o so ugly)
2. I dont look in the mirror any more. Even when I bath, I dont look any more. I’m frustrated and angry and all the bad the comes with it.
3. O I would love to get rid of my fat and cellulite from my waist downwards.
4. I want to feel like a woman is suppose to feel. Light, firm, small, beautiful, everyone adore and look at, asking how she gets that body.
5. I am playing netball, but the season is running out and soon I will have nothing left but to exercise on my own. I’ll gave it all, and have time in the afternoon for exercise.
1. unattractive, miserable, low self esteem
2.embrassed ugly
3.remove the cellulite from my legs
4.attractive,confident.

Dear Joey,
I receive your emeials regularly. I am really tempted to buy your package. I am workingout at the gym reularly since 6 yrs. Have been working out all my life doing something or the other.
But my hip-butt problem is not changing. My butt is quite okay but the point where my hips begin there ia a dip and then my hips bulge out . Is there anything specific you can recommend ?
I am a She male and I would like to fatten my legs like that of a sexy woman.
Is there a cream of topical lotion to do just that?
