Get Back In Skinny Jeans With This Workout
What motivates you to get to the gym: Weight loss? Strong muscles? Longevity? Or maybe you're just tired of not fitting into your jeans?
If that's the case, then check out the Skinny Jeans Workout, programmed to specifically work on the core, butt, and thighs--or as instructor Lisa Grimmer told CNN, "anything placed in your jeans." The Skinny Jeans Workout will have you zipping up in no time.
Jessica Ordona, who takes the class and hates the way her stomach hangs over her jeans, tells CNN:
"It's different than your typical workout class," she says. "It's not high-impact cardio, but you're sweating the whole time because you're working every muscle group."
The exercises work by tightening up the core muscles, improving posture, and even strengthening the shoulder girdle. Obviously, spot training doesn't work miracles, but regulars say they're dropping a pant size or two in just a few months from the twice weekly workout.
I'm more of a yoga pants kind of girl myself, but I love a good workout that makes me feel strong all over. Maybe they'll put it out on DVD, or I could just try some of these great core exercises.

I think anything that gets people motivated is a good thing unless of course it is one of those crazy diets or something like that. Here, if the people were doing nothing and are now doing something or are doing more than they used to than yes,they are going to lose inches. No, you can't spot reduce but you can tighten & tone. I also wonder if they were eating better. For mw, my hips did not disappear until I really tightened up my food & types of food. But saying that, if they like it & will do it than that is good. Not sure about skinny jeans though. A lot of press about those lately! :-)
Also, I noticed the loss was over a few months so that is just showing with time & consistency, you can get results.
ReplyAnyways losing fat is 80% diet. This is just another gimmick to get the $$$.
ReplyNo, no, it's 82.5%. C'mon.
ReplyMen over 17 should not be allowed to wear skinny jeans.
ReplyMen should not be wearing skinny jeans PERIOD! Death to emo kids! (Oh wait, isn't that a contradiction?)
ReplyWhat if I already currently have to use a higher pant size than my waist (2 instead of 0) would indicate to make my muscular legs comfortable in most cuts of jeans? (from strength training 4 hours a week, and running 70+ miles per week)
I'm not sure I completely buy it :)
ReplyI'm with Angel...I can't wear skinny jeans to save my life because I have quads and glutes, aka, CURVES. So I always look ridiculous in those kinds of jeans...my legs look like weirdly deformed sausages. I have to wear boot-cut jeans that balance out my thighs better. So yeah, great idea for a workout, but I'll take bootcut jeans over skinny jeans any day.
ReplyThe sad thing is that society considers women with muscles on their legs to be unattractive. Even though it's sign of health. Our current society is totally upside down and worships anorexia/bulimia.
ReplyI have quads, hamstrings & a butt as well & I am short so skinny jeans don't work for me!
ReplyThere are two ways to interpret "skinny jeans." 1) the style known as "skinny" as opposed to boot cut, straight leg, or wide leg. 2) the jeans you wear at your skinniest - usually the ones we can't quite button most of the time, but if we've just had the flu we can wear so we keep them anyway, hoping they'll finally fit someday. I think they might be referring to the latter.
ReplyYes, it's going to reduce anything placed in your jeans. Especially the money you place in your jeans' pocket.
ReplyI think this workout would work. I'm always getting anoyed when i can't get my favourite pair of skinny jeans on. My hips are what does it. They fit, but i can't can't move in them!they are so tight!
Replypressed enter accidently! anyway, I do agree with ArrowSmith that it is encouraging people to get too skinny and increase anorexia and bulimia. I guess it depends to the individual.
ReplyI looked at the article link, and it sounds a lot like Callanetics with an added weight-lifting component.
