Hey guys first of all i would like to say thanks to Frank,Rachel,Jason, and chunky butt lol. I've gotten down to the size i need to be and now im starting to do sets of 3 and 30 reps on my upper body to get really ripped and i'm still running everyday however i would like to get my legs toned but remember i can't get them big i just want that cut look to my thighs the outsides are fine it just the inner part that needs work i don't want them bigger cause they want my legs thin here in Japan but there is some stubborn fat on the inner part of my thighs and i belive i can actually get my thighs smaller if i can get that fat off the inside of my thighs so please tell me what kinda exercises i should do and about how many sets and rep range because im not looking to build muscle just get sculpted and getting really lean THANKS AGAIN GUYS!

Hey Joey,

Fat on the thighs simply means that's where you're storing fat. Continue with the cardio, just do both types, slow paced walk on an incline, let's say AM, then do running in the PM. The slow pace walking is fat burning whereas the higher paced endurance type running can be catabolic (depending on caloric intake durinng),which is taking the size from your muscles. Stay away from lifting with the legs.

You should also try body building poses and hold them for 15 seconds to begin. Posing can help bring out definition and that will also make you look leaner, tighter and the much sought after, TONED. Do the same with legs. Flex, lock in the pose and shift around while holding until you see different muscles "appearing". Then you learn how to manipulate your posing. Talk about calorie burninng!!

I think you need to preserve what tissue you do have so id still lift my legs, if you are in a caloric deficit you wont add muscle, but in order to "tone" you need to keep what you have and strip the fat, if you lose fat and muscle you'll just be a skinnier version of what you are now.

I for one would lift the legs BUT eat so that Im in a caloric deficit.

Ah, good point. But Jason, what we are working with here it totally opposite of everything we believe and train.

Joey, what's your daily calorie intake? Is this just a temporary thing (trimming down) or is this going to be your way of life and about where you will stay as far as weight?

Yeppers Frank...Im just thinking if he doesnt do some weight resistance training he wont ever "tone". Im not a big fan of that word anyways...but really he is still doing (sort of) what we bodybuilders do, we perform calculated starvation in order to preseve muscle and lose fat when contest dieting, off season forget this noise, lol. He doesnt want to get bigger but wants to lose the fat, I think he needs severe caloric restriction but still some weight training to preserve the leg muscle he has, cant tone what isnt there....

Without proper calories he wont get any bigger unless he has superior touch any weight eat fruit roll ups get big genetics, which it doesnt sound from his previous weight.

I eat about 1700 calories a day now i lost alot of weight i know i lost alot of muscle and a little fat but i still have fat around the inside of my legs and a little on the sides but mainly most of it is now on the inside of my thighs here in Japan they like really skinny i like to have muscle i work good back in the states but here you have to be smaller cause the Japanese are so small haha.
