Find an Ab and Thigh Workout for Your Body Type By Lisa Marie Metzler
The Battle with Abs and Thighs
Abs and thighs tend to be the most troublesome spots on women. "The thighs are generally the most prevalent place where women store fat. The abs are a secondary storage spot for fat," agrees Brad Schoenfeld, fitness expert and author of three books, the newest titled, Look Great Sleeveless. (Prentice Hall Press 2002)

"The difference in training for your body type will be in the number of repetitions required," Schoenfeld says and suggests women target their problem areas with multiple exercises. By changing the movements from one workout to the next, women can enhance muscle development while minimizing boredom.
