Finding the right exercise program can be a very intimidating and frustrating process. Along with finding the right program, finding time is also a concern. The majority of women want an exercise program to trim away those extra pounds. A woman being a professional track and field athlete her training requires "bulking up" and "leaning out." for Eg:- during her competition season if her weight ranges between (58 kgs - 60 kgs)., however during the off-season
her muscles are leaned out to (55 kgs - 50 kgs). The following is an example of how to get and maintain a healthy tone/lean body. The key is to be efficient without spending hours at the gym. The lifestyle to achieve your needs
begins with a consistent workout along with a healthy eating habbits.
3 Hours A Week Is All It Takes:
3 Hours A Week Is All It Takes:
CARDIO
3 x 20-30min of Cardio every week:
You can choose whatever cardio you want to do... but to stay lean you need to do at least 3 days of pretty intense cardio. Running is always good for the problem areas such as upper thighs, butt, and lower abs.

Start slow and gradually move up to 20 minutes, 25 minutes, then 30 minutes. Stairs or hills are another great lower body workout. A good consistent schedule to follow is one day hard, one-day off, one-day moderate, one-day off, and one -day hard.

NUTRITION
There is no reason to starve yourself but what you eat needs to supply your body with the right kind of nutrition. proffessionals don't eat fast food, or a lot of junk food. they eat smaller portions, but instead of 3 times a day more like 4-5 times a day. Learn the truth about your favorite fast foods. Find out how many calories, carbs, grams of fat, protein and how long it will take to burn off on a treadmill. Learn how to make a healthy choice!
Most people already have a good idea of how to supply the body with the right stuff; the problem begins with the discipline it takes to eat healthy. Fish is always a good source of protein, which your body needs to change and repair the damage you do from working out. A protein/low carbohydrate shake is a good way to provide your body with the necessary nutrients to change your body. I don't really want to suggest too much, everybody is different in this department. However, Dinner needs to be healthy and not to filling. Good luck. :)
