BODY MATTERS
Lifestyle and fitness guru Melinda Nicci answers your burning questions…
Q: What’s the best exercise for slimming the entire leg?
A: Cardio activity (to burn off calories), running and also power walking are great. Cycling and using the Stairmaster are also effective, but beware of spinning as this can increase the size of your thigh muscles quite substantially.
You would also need a toning activity to contour the inner and outer thigh. Stretching is important to lengthen the muscles, and improve the overall look of the leg.
Q: What martial art would be the most effective for weight-loss?
A: Kick-boxing, karate and judo – all activities that get you moving at a fast pace, and involve both strength and cardio work
