    How to lose weight/tone from bum/thighs
    I know you can't just choose where you lose weight from, but I would seriously like to tone my thighs and bum

    I do go on a running machine for 20 mins 3 times a week. I'm not really really into exercise, so is there any kinda basic exercises I could try which focus on these parts of my body?

    OR should I just try and increase my general running throughout the week?

    Thanks guys!

    Squat, deadlift, 1g protein per lb bodyweight and eat 500cals under maintenance. This will be the standard answer.

    500cals under maintenance. Maintenance calories are the calories you burn just sitting down and doing nothing for a day. Google it.

    You'll have to google deadlift as well, any video on youtube is going to be a hell of a lot more useful than what I type here.

    Consume about 1500 calories a day and do indoor cycling. Effffffective.
