Experience
I have been a personal trainer,aerobics instructor,nutrition advisor and boot camp instructor for several years,in South Florida.
I generally prefer to train people outdoors in a park setting.The workout outside is just as tough as a gym workout.I can give people a excellent workout using just their bodyweight.I do a bootcamp style class with groups of 5-10 people.

Question
hi,
I have a dance recital coming up and im not in the best of shape and we have like 2 costumes that show our middle

First off I will tell you my problem areas:
-stomach
-inner thighs
-arms

I was woindering if you could help make some sort of an exercise plan that works very fast, I'm willing to work for it if it will happen quickly, If you are to busy to do that then do you think you cold just give some fast acting exercises to tone those areas and slim them down a bit?this is very urgent and I would appreciate it alot if you could help me,
thanks : )

Answer
Hi Celeste,
Any program will take 6-8 weeks to make a noticable difference.
In addition to exercising,you need to be eating the right foods.
Eat more carbohydrates and protein and less fat and sodium.
Carbs-rice,pasta,potatoes,etc.
Protein-lean chicken,turkey,tuna,etc.
Good exercises for your trouble spots are:
Arms:
bicep curl
tricep pressdown
shoulder press
Inner Thighs:
squats
lateral steps
lunges
Stomach:
crunches
torso twist
leg raises.

Thank You,
 Bonnie
