5 lb dumbell syndrome strikes again

[tripleV]

Found this posted on another board
here are my stats. 5'4" 105 . just started training but use to surf so im not in bad shape. i eat good and drink water all day long. heres my question: how can i get my butt smaller and firmer. behind my legs needs some work too. i cant lift weights for my legs cause all that happens is they get bigger. (thanx to my mother) i build muscle in my legs and ass easy and i dont want that. i wanna tone them up so i need some good pointers to make my butt not jiggle so much, but like i said if i involve weights my legs grow. and i wanna tone and tighten not grow. i tried do leg extensions but i noticed my legs were getting bigger so i stopped. also im tiny everywhere but my butt.my butt is a bubble butt and now its getting flabby and this is un attractive. also i need more energy cause i have zero. i have tried multi vitamins but they dont seem to work. thanx again for the help

hahahaha Please...I can't lift weights b/c I just want to tone!

it gets better:

first response:

The flabbiness is due to poor muscle structure...you will tone muscle, (with weights) max reps, lightest weights and burn fat (with the cardio machines) but try the combination of both "TOGETHER" !!! and you will achieve that look you want.

even better:

next response:
I recently read somewhere that swimming is an excellent way to take care of those problem areas! But your probably still not going to be satisfied. No matter what you do, if your working an area of your body, your going to build up the muscle there. Trust me, I know it blows. My mom and dad both have very large legs and um....posteriers. I got it in spades - so my shape ends up being close to a bowling pin, spoon, pear, whatever they're calling it this week! Hang in there - be happy with the shape you have. Remember, you don't have a bubble but, your just very feminine and curvy!

lol

It reminds me of the articles you find in Self magazine and such......a lot of hogwash. Use to enjoy those mags, until I came here and read this board, and learned everything else is pretty much useless shit.....I am constantly preaching now at the gym....quoting everyone from here. Hee hee.....I keep arguing about declines with anyone who will listen

ohmigosh...another topic!

alright ladies, does anyone here work out w/their men? I do once in awhile but I'm usually too busy at night. Ya know, cooking dinner, takin care of the kids. Besides its usually his time by himself.

DAMMIT I wish I had Mr Right (or even Mr. RightNow) to work out with.... the best gains I ever made were with sets to failure with a spotter. But on the other hand, I do most of my sets with 30-45 sec intervals -- waiting for a buddy to get through a set just increases my set interval. LOL!. O well, I'll quit my bitching. I would like it if there was a Mr Right or Mr. Right Now who would have dinner ready when I came home from the gym... but then again, really all I need is a wife....hmmmmm.....
