Not only does it make your thighs lean, but also serves as an excellent warm up. Initially, use the jogging pace while jumping with the rope. Turn the rope forward and alternately jump your legs Bend your knees slightly and keep your back straight. After sometime, start jumping both your legs at the same time. This will increase difficulty of the exercise.<br /><br /><strong>Biking /Swimming/ Jogging/ Walking<br /></strong>The aerobic exercises of riding an exercise bike, swimming, jogging and walking go a great length towards trimming your thighs. While using an exercise bike, try to paddle while standing up and pedal as fast as you can. Paddle your legs as you do your strokes while swimming, especially the back stroke. You can alternate between jogging and brisk walking, for 25 to 30 minutes, three times per week.<br /><br /><strong>Squatting</strong><br />Doing squats is an excellent way to get rid of the weight on your thighs. Initially, take a long rod for doing it. Stand straight, with your feet shoulder width apart, and balance the rod on your shoulders. Keeping your back straight, lower yourself to a sitting position, while inhaling, and exhale as you come back to the standing position. Do three sets of 10 repetitions. Gradually increase the resistance, first with dumbbells in both hands and then, with a Smith machine or barbell.<br /><br /><strong>Dumbbell Lunging<br /></strong>Take dumbbells in your hands and standing straight, with feet shoulder width apart. Step your right leg forward as far as you can, keeping the left one where it was. Now, lower your body by bending both the knees, making sure that the knee of your right leg does not go beyond your toes and the knee of your left leg does not touch the floor. Come back to the starting position and repeat with the left leg going forward. Repeat the right and left alternating lunge, 10 to 15 times.<br /><br /><strong>Leg Curling</strong><br />Position yourself on the hamstring machine, stomach-down. Place both your feet below the attached weights and put your hands on the grips. Holding on to the grips, bring your feet towards your buttocks. Make sure to inhale as you curl up your legs. Now, exhaling slowly, lower your legs and bring them back to the original position. Repeat this procedure 10 to 12 times.<br /><br /><strong>Leg Raising </strong><br />Another exercise that can help you lose weight from the thighs comprises of leg raises. Spread an exercise mat and lie down on your back. Join both the legs and while inhaling slowly, elevate them as much as possible. Now, bring them back, while exhaling, but keep them about 1 to 2 inches about the floor, so that they do not touch it. Now, again raise the legs and bring them down. Repeat this procedure 10 times.Celinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05477540523043535541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955533418194790059.post-46336385071295516912008-06-29T08:47:00.000-07:002008-06-29T09:39:30.214-07:00Ideal Weight<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8TI68eUyVyaoIi-ExfX0_ephSdiLofEf2LGFTq1OgkZC5dScLB6nQzLrxESWcFxi-2gDXWjYhNljdIRNzFov5QJUiilmhP2-j958V2kdTuVioQO8RCOzQMv-aIsY5yb0fVoAh6A0yhI/s1600-h/slimming9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217331681224693186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8TI68eUyVyaoIi-ExfX0_ephSdiLofEf2LGFTq1OgkZC5dScLB6nQzLrxESWcFxi-2gDXWjYhNljdIRNzFov5QJUiilmhP2-j958V2kdTuVioQO8RCOzQMv-aIsY5yb0fVoAh6A0yhI/s200/slimming9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000000;">Ideal body weight and shape have fluctuated throughout history, from the rotund Venus of Willendorf of antiquity, to the statuesque, leggy flappers of the 1920s, to the ultra-thin "Twiggy"-inspired look of the 1960s and the "heroin chic" cachexia of the 1990s. In some cultures (eg, Hawaiian royalty), women voluntarily consumed or were force-fed excessive quantities of food to maintain their corpulence, a sign of fertility and power. At other times, women, including those with and without anorexia and bulimia, have dieted, induced vomiting, abused laxatives, and exercised excessively to lose weight. Famed opera singer Maria Callas deliberately infected herself with tapeworms to produce a malabsorption syndrome to maintain her lithe figure.</span></div>Celinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05477540523043535541noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955533418194790059.post-38840422211690747662008-06-29T08:36:00.000-07:002008-06-29T09:40:11.325-07:00Shape Waist<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lsfIrhz1UvvfR5imOEKRoWpdtzG8q_GFfvwL92o2ueUVzAQ5nTfglRB5n9YhK81HV7yVdJFoKBL0f0vShT5_YjvQIYLsYzhmUFOpCwZ9FyNxpWo_-Y54-6rAjulPwsvFhOYH90HSJ3Q/s1600-h/small+waist+beaut.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217330315057080210" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lsfIrhz1UvvfR5imOEKRoWpdtzG8q_GFfvwL92o2ueUVzAQ5nTfglRB5n9YhK81HV7yVdJFoKBL0f0vShT5_YjvQIYLsYzhmUFOpCwZ9FyNxpWo_-Y54-6rAjulPwsvFhOYH90HSJ3Q/s200/small+waist+beaut.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#996633;"><span style="color:#000000;">Corseting, popular from the 14th to 19th centuries, originally involved compressing the bosom and constricting the waist with tightly wound whalebone on a steel frame. Shallow breathing, combined with inadequate venous return, produced fainting and swooning. Hiatal hernias caused by overly tight corsets are termed "Sommerring's syndrome" -- after the 18th century physician who first warned of the dangers of tight lacing. Christina Larson points out, "the corset facilitated a pernicious association between physical beauty and virtue, as upright posture and a slender waist came to be regarded as evidence of discipline, modesty, rigor, and refinement. Ladies who abandoned their stays were scorned as both lazy and immoral."</span> </span></div>Celinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05477540523043535541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955533418194790059.post-79578913042065094702008-06-29T08:24:00.000-07:002008-06-29T09:40:48.331-07:00Sparkling Eye<a href="http://www.royal.gov.uk/files/images/MTnew_commonwealth_austraila_dargie.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.royal.gov.uk/files/images/MTnew_commonwealth_austraila_dargie.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000000;">For ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Persians, sparkling eyes were considered beautiful and they applied the heavy metal antimony to make their conjunctiva sparkle.

These women also covered their skin with ceruse (lead-based) makeup, which caused peripheral neuropathy, gout, anemia, chronic renal failure, and disfiguring scarring, requiring the application of more ceruse makeup. Chronic users, such as Queen Elizabeth I, acquired a misshapen appearance. Upset over her grisly visage, the Queen banished all mirrors from her castle. Her servants sometimes painted a red dot on her nose, an inside joke mocking her clown-like appearance.</span></div>Celinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05477540523043535541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955533418194790059.post-86159587504917749552008-06-29T07:05:00.000-07:002008-06-29T09:41:04.322-07:00Started from Lotus Foot<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV3nR5HmdntYiSpxKEGpEgFk7Nklb6ywMGVK1P7lXgzOJuAXXGBlD8eH4v_NSWtqngLBK958rU0AONpMfzZdR0mNhwbqJEsEWkFE8qNBC4pdgIHt8Jikz52L0mI-BiZ_NxUzj4tyrSWD0/s1600-h/610x.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217310654230371506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV3nR5HmdntYiSpxKEGpEgFk7Nklb6ywMGVK1P7lXgzOJuAXXGBlD8eH4v_NSWtqngLBK958rU0AONpMfzZdR0mNhwbqJEsEWkFE8qNBC4pdgIHt8Jikz52L0mI-BiZ_NxUzj4tyrSWD0/s200/610x.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In ancient China, the 4-inch "lotus foot" was considered a sign of perfect beauty. The practice of foot-binding, uncommonly seen today, involved breaking the bones of the forefoot and folding them forward, then tying the misshapen appendage to prohibit growth. Foot-binding caused severe pain, imbalance, and falls, and eventually osteoporosis, because afflicted women were unable to bear weight and ambulate correctly. Other consequences included hip and knee osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and even joint replacement surgery.Chinese foot binding was also a form of subjugation; as a class, women were even less able to take advantage of already limited educational and economic opportunities</span>.</span></span></div>Celinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05477540523043535541noreply@blogger.com0
