Question by =]: How can I exercise to burn fat and slim down?
In addition to eating healthy and drinking lots of water, i need to know how i can exercise to get slimmer. Alot of exercises (like pilates) do alot to strengthen abs, but i don’t want to have super defined and manly looking abs; i just want a flat stomach.(I’m a woman) I also want thin thighs rather than really muscular and bulky thighs. I am not overweight at the moment, i would just like to be a little thinner all around. How can i do that without getting too muscular?

The women who have REALLY defined muscles and “look like a guy” as you put it do a HELL of a lot more than pilates. Do lots of cardio exercise to slim down. Ride a bike, jog, use the elliptical, do pilates and aerobics, whatever you like.

Unless you are spending hours a day in a gym every day lifting weights the chances of you looking like a female bodybuilder are similar to that of you getting hit by lightning after you just won the lottery.

186.7 calories

If you aren’t feeling anything form the workout, it may be that you need a more advanced, intense workout, or you aren’t completing the moves properly. Most likely, you just need to increase the either the intensity or duration of the exercise.
