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
I am 21 years old, 5'2", and 107 pounds
I eat healthy all the time (lean meats, lots of fruits and veggies, whole grain breads/rice)
3 meals and 2 snacks to keep my metabolism going. I drink water all day.. No pop, juice or anything.
I was eating 1200 calories for awile, and realized that was way too low for how much I was working out.
I work out 4-6 days a week.. treadmill usually at 4.5 mph on a 11 out of 15 incline.
and i strenghth train 2-3 days a week.. usually leg extentions at 110 lbs.. 4 sets of 12 reps.
I am looking to tone my legs.. I was told I have to add weight to gain more muscle.. So today I upped my calorie intake from 1200 calories to 1500.. I burned 250 calories in my work out this morning..
My question is:
What should I be eating? How many reps/sets and at what weight? I really want to see results.. I am happy with my body except for a little pouch on the back part of my upper thigh.
thank you,
Amy
Answer Hi Amy,
Thank you for your question.
You should be eating more protein and carbohydrates.Tuna,chicken,turkey,potatoes, and rice.
You should be doing more leg exercises;squats,lunges,leg press,calf press and leg curls in addition to leg extensions. 4 sets of 12 reps sound good-just make sure that the last few reps are harder than the first few reps.
Thanks,
Bonnie
