Hi Joey,
What do you think of all these new shoes that are coming out that promise to shape you up just by walking in them, i.e., Reebok ReeTones, Skechers Shape Ups, etc.
Thanks
- Liz

So, here is the message that women are “hearing/perceiving”:

“Just wear these sneakers and your legs, butt and thighs will get toned, lifted and sculpted.”

And it raises the question (I’ll repeat it here) I get several times a day (or some variation of it):

“What do you think of all these new shoes that are coming out that promise to shape you up just by walking in them?”

This is what I hear in emails. It’s what I hear from the mom’s on the playground in my neighborhood – and it’s what I hear from the everyday, overly busy woman everywhere.

First and foremost – I must admit, the concept itself is beyond brilliant and the marketing is even more spectacular. I don’t even know if any of these toning sneaker companies come out and say it – but one thing is for sure; Women are certainly under the impression that these sneakers will tone-up their trouble spots just by wearing them. Again – this is great marketing, whether the sneakers actually work or not.

That being said. Here is what I do know…

After spending 7 years studying for a bachelors degree in exercise science and a masters degree in exercise physiology – combined with over 22 years of working with people on improving their bodies – I am confident in declaring there is very little likelihood of the average woman putting on a pair of these kicks, wearing them for 2 months straight – and expecting to have transformed her flabby, saggy trouble spots into tightly-toned, eye catching “hot spots”.

It’s just not going to happen.

Sure – there may be some improvement in posture, balance and/or some lower back ache relief – But, transforming your trouble spots into a bikini ready body??? Ehhh… I’m afraid NOT, ladies…

The truth is, it takes a bit more than lacing up a pair of “toning sneakers” and just carrying on with your day.

And even if there is some “firming and toning” reported by some of the women who’ve been trying them – I can promise that a properly targeted, yet simple, lower-body exercise routine will bring about changes that eclipse any improvements resulting form wearing the sneakers.

As a matter of fact – I’d put my Ultimate Leg, Butt, Hip & Thigh Makeover program up against any brand of “toning” sneaker on the market. I’d even do it on national TV if it could be arranged.

We can find 10 average, out of shape women to volunteer. Split them into two groups of 5. One group wears the “toning sneakers” for 2 months – and the other group does The ULBHTM for 2 months.

I don’t have to tell you how things would turn out – just let common sense tell which group will be looking sexier and ‘feeling’ much better too.

Who knows? Maybe Oprah can arrange ‘The Trouble-Spot Showdown’?

I’m sure all the women who watch the show would be VERY interested in who the undisputed champ would be.

If you want to pass this idea onto the producers of her show – go right ahead, because I’m serious about this. I’d even re-arrange my schedule so I can oversee The ULBHTM group during the 2 month “showdown”.

Let’s have some fun – Shall we?

PS – while I would not suggest this without being able to directly supervise – It is quite possible that a synergy may exist between these types of sneakers and the standing ULBHTM exercise sequences. It may very well be the challenge is intensified yet a bit more, for the advanced ULBHTM user.

Truth is – just about every woman wants to slim, tone and tighten her inner thigh area. Even women who are slender and not overweight want to get any ’slack’ out of that nagging region. The loose, jiggly skin and flab are just something the average female would rather do without. And understandably so.

There are so many opinions and solutions to be found for this one problem – from gimmicky infomercial products to ridiculous ‘firming lotions’ for the skin. None of those work – but they do make a ton of money for the companies which sell them.

There is only one thing which truly works. And that is – the right exercises. I say ‘right exercises’ because the wrong exercises will backfire and make the inner thigh area even bulkier and larger. NOT GOOD.

Most of the random articles you’ll read talk about “squats, lunges, inner thigh machine, etc…” The problem is – those types of exercises and workout routines do bulk up the upper leg muscles – including the sacred inner thigh zone.

The main focus needs to be on body-weight exercises which target the entire thigh area. And here’s why…

The inner thigh area is not made up of only one muscle. There are actually several large muscles and a series of smaller muscles which lie in close proximity to each other. But they are each of different sizes, lengths and widths. They also run in different directions. This all has to do with the unique movement abilities on the human body.

Because of this physiologic complexity – the body-weight exercise program which targets the inner thigh area for toning, tightening and slimming, needs to consist of a series of movements which are synergistic. Meaning, they produce the proper stimulus as a group as opposed to just being done alone.

This blend of body-weight exercises for the lower body stimulates the several dozen thigh muscles – which slim, tighten and tone the entire thigh area – including the inner thighs.

So, you’ll want to avoid squats with a barbell or dumbbells, lunges with weights, any type of leg press machine and any type of machine with cables and weight stacks.

Some of the exercises you’ll want to be sure to include are:

1 – Slow tempo adduction
2 – Low side shuffle
3 – Double hip extension with pillow or small ball between legs
4 – Side angle step down – with light toe touch

These are just a few of the exercises you’ll want to do in order to get your inner thighs into tight and sexy shape. The complete program plus exact instructions are in the ULBHTM dvds where I take you step by step through every exercise – as if your trainer (me) is right there with you – every step of the way.

Smart lipo is a recently discovered method for directly reducing fat deposits in parts of the body. This method uses a special laser to burn away fat tissue – quite similar to the technique used for pearly penile papules. With this treatment, the need for anesthesia is completely removed. With smart lipo, the surgical process takes place in the doctor’s office alone.

As you decide whether or not smart lipo is the right procedure for you, there are a few questions to ask yourself. The price and ability to pay are the first things people think about when considering this fat removal surgery. Another frequently asked question is what the average recovery time will be. Finally, people will also want to know whether or not previous clients were happy with their results.

Smart lipo treatments are like any other medical procedure in that the prices may vary from one office to another. For a quality procedure the least you will pay is about $2,000, but it can range up to almost $6,000. It is best to make sure you understand and agree with all the expenses before starting the procedure.

When compared to  similar procedures, smart lipo has a faster average recovery time with the added benefit of less pain. As described at the SmartLipo therapy website, an individual will experience a little pain that can be controlled with over the counter pain medication. The bruising that is associated with this procedure is usually gone in two or three days. Swelling is decreased by wearing a pressure dressing or compression garments. Normally a person can go back to their daily routine one day after completing a smart lipo treatment.

A recent survey indicated that over eighty percent of people who spent money on the smart lipo treatment thought the results were worth it in the end. That still leaves about eighteen percent of people that disagree. So what do they think? They had a collection of views. One person complained that the treatments caused hard bumps in the area of the procedure. One person said the procedure produced unnatural results and that the process was too long overall. In the final analysis, anyone thinking of smart lipo must decide for themselves whether the treatment is right for them.

Let me start by saying that I’ve never had a weight problem, per se and I’ve always been in pretty good shape. But, when my husband, a doctor, packed on 30 extra pounds we started hitting the gym. (He’s of eastern Indian ethnicity and that group is really prone to Type II diabetes.)

I then got into fabulous shape but I always had those big “cheerleader” thighs. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get them toned without them appearing big. To top it off, I started noticing a little cottage cheese on my ass and thighs (cellulite!).

I’m smart/experienced enough to know that I needed to find a different method and went web searching.

Your ULBHTM DVDs caught my eye and I mulled it over for a day or two. I didn’t want to be impulsive and buy the first thing I saw because I thought that I’d likely end up with crap. But, I went back to your Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh website a few days later and read more of your blog entries. I like your no-nonsense style and I liked that you peppered your statements with a curse word here and there. It told me that while you may take your work seriously, you don’t take yourself too seriously.

I thought, “Wow, here’s a guy that I wouldn’t mind training with in person.” and so I bought your ULBHTM DVDs.

I had a trip planned (big party with friends in Amsterdam) so I didn’t get started right away, but when I did, WHOA! Those simple moves on your DVDs kicked my ass the first time and they still do today! I don’t think I’ll even bother schlepping to the gym anymore this winter. I’m so excited watching my legs slim down while I maintain the lean muscle tone. I’m so excited watching my ass firm up to that tight, 20-year-old appearance.

My AGs and size 7s never looked so good!

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks. I never knew I didn’t have to do squats and dead-lifts at the gym to get great results. Well, now I know.

I can’t wait to see how I finish! Stay tuned…

Hi Joey:

Yes, I am doing the ULBHTM workouts! At first, I was surprised that there was no music, but then I just listened to your direction on how to do each move. After I completed my first session, I realized that before your DVD, I had been doing some of those traditional moves wrong! All my prior attempts in shaping and toning were basically ineffective.

Now, I feel like I have a personal trainer at my home! I really feel like I’ve made progress and I find myself looking forward to the next ‘personal training session’ I’ve been thin/slender all my life, but never had the shapely and toned look that I’ve always wanted. As such, I did not feel “healthy” or “fit”. Finally, I feel like I can achieve that look (and feeling) without spending countless hours at the gym.

I will definitely keep you posted on my progress.

Thanks Joey!

Regards,

Raven

Need Cellulite Reduction? Here Are 5 New Ways to Get Rid of Cellulite…

1 – Stop sitting on your ass all day, Sweetheart… It’s a known fact that siting on your ass all day makes it fatter and wider – creating more area, a bigger canvas we might say, for cellulite to show up. And, I’m willing to bet the more sitting you are doing the less exercise you are doing.

2 – Stop working out like a freakin’ lunatic… You can work out ’til you cripple yourself and faint – But that doesn’t mean you’ll get rid of your nasty cellulite. Yes, exercise does help get rid of cellulite – BUT it must be the right type of exercise program – or you are just wasting your time (and possibly making the cellulite worse). I’ve seen this happen time and time again.

3 – Have a lot of sex… I’m not telling you to start acting like an easy fluzy – or is it floozie? Whatever it is – you know what I mean. If you are in a good relationship – then put some more emphasis into the sexual/physical part of it. And don’t be a lame duck who just lays there and takes it. If you want the benefits of cellulite reduction – you have to take the bull by the horns (or the horn in this case) and work it. There are many positions and movements that will allow you to break a sweat as you work your butt, hip and thighs – YEAH BABY! (your man can send me a personal ‘thank you’ via the comment section of this blog ) (NOTE – my third book will be titled ‘Sexual Fitness’). )

Proves She Hasn’t Been Doing Joey’s Program

4 – Disown your mother… If you have cellulite – there’s a good possibility you’re blaming your mom for it. This is a load of crap – it doesn’t matter what your mom’s ass and thighs look like – you are not her and she is not you – so you can forget about the genetic excuse. Next time you see her – ask her what she has tried to do about her cellulite.

And she’ll say something like – “Oh, darling – I’ve tried everything for this cottage cheese on my lower body. It’s horrible – your father hasn’t made love to me with the lights on in about 35 years – now that I think about it – the son of a bitch hasn’t made love to me in 35 years with the lights off either! Anyway – why do you ask sweetheart?”

Then you ask her – “Well have you ever tried the Cellulite Reduction version of the Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Makeover from Joey Atlas?”

And she’ll say, “Honey, you know I was never one for the gym and lifting weights and doing those machines. Is Joey related to Charles by any chance?”

And you’ll say, “You obviously haven’t done Joey’s program – because his program doesn’t involve weights and machines – you can do his whole program at home. I guess there is hope for me after all. I gotta go, mom – I’m ordering Joey’s program – talk to you later.”

5 – Make these easy tweaks to your daily diet… Reduce your sodium intake, reduce/eliminate your intake of artificial (chemical) sweeteners, make olive oil part of your daily nutrition, hydrate (drink water or like fluids) consistently.

BONUS: 6 – This entry was much too controversial and had to be removed… “Sorry”…

“Hi Joey,

I never wrote any product reviews or feedbacks…

- but here I just have to…

Your Ultimate Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Makeover rocks!

Ok. here is my story…

I have always been in a pretty good shape even though never really worked out and been to a gym just once;

BUT couple months ago I noticed that my jeans did not fit like before and i saw cellulite on a back of my legs and butt!

I panicked! summer was coming.

I have an office job and barely get up from my chair during the day…here is the result.

I started looking for a gym in my area but most of them do not offer any classes and I just hate treadmill and any other machines; plus i dont really have much time with my job and school.

So i gave up the gym idea and decided to buy some dvds and just do it at home.

I bought my 1st dvd, pilates and hated it. I had to use that rubber pilates band which was really uncomfortable; it even slipped and hit me couple times in a face. I had a good laugh.

Then i decided to browse google for “cellulite reduction”….

I wasn’t gonna buy any creams or do any expensive wrap sessions…I just wanted to see what they offer.

I found your ULBHTM program with a perfect title… leg, butt, hip, thigh… and I just knew that was it.

I couldn’t wait to get started.

At the beginning I did my workout every other day… and only after first few times i could feel and see the results.

I knew it was working!

…i could feel muscles that i never even knew I had …especially my inner thighs and right under the butt cheeks.

And the best thing i was not sore that bad! I did all exercises and full count from the very first time.

Anyways, i am on level 2 for over a week now…and my butt looks like from Victoria Secret catalog ) well almost… – but its only been a month!

I am addicted to your program, Joey…

I am actually thinking of working on my abs now too…

Do you have any exercise program for that?

Thanks again! – Natalya Nam

No two women are alike and for this reason there is no one leg, butt, hip or thigh exercise that we can call the ‘best’ for every women.

On top of this – there is no single leg, butt, hip or thigh exercise that can stand alone with the title of ‘the best’. The truth is when you take several carefully chosen exercises and combine them properly – the resulting combination ‘may’ be considered one of the best.

This is the principle of “synergy”. It’s the synergy between several lower body exercises – executed with certain form, tempo and sequence that gives women the visible results in their lower bodies.

Here’s a mini leg, butt, hip and thigh home exercise program that many women have gotten great results with. You can download and print it out right now.
