Unfortunately you can t spot reduce fat from specific parts of your body. Working out on the step machine will help tone you up but won t specifically burn fat from your legs. Try changing your training schedule, working at a higher intensity, for longer or mix in some no impact exercises such as swimming or cycling. Just make sure you keep challenging your body and making is work hard in different ways. As you body is good at adapting and becoming efficient if you do the same exercise all the time.So mix up your training, work out harder or in different ways and make sure you burn more calories. A heart rate monitor with a calorie count function is very useful for tracking your training sessions.
do squats or maybe ride a bike. do exercises that involve alot of leg movement or something which makes you feel that burning feeling in your legs. use self magazine and/or try this link http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=009W2g

Being in physio will affect the way you need to exercise in all sorts of ways, not just in what exercises to avoid. You need to clear any changes you intend to make with physiotherapist. It would also be a good idea to ask him or her to prescribe some more exercises, rather than asking us. While you are in physio it is a good idea to concentrate on the exercises that have been prescribed; other exercises can resume after the course of treatment has finished.Anything that uses your legs will target your weight loss there. The same exercises will cause your legs to get bigger, when you re gaining weight.To remove stored fat, you need to use fat. Slow muscle fibres are fuelled by fat, and these are the fibres that you use for gentle movements. Powerful movements use fast fibres, which burn sugar, which makes you tired and hungry.The idea that you can t remove fat from particular sites IS A MYTH. To increase the amount of fat you are using (and the amount you release from storage sites in your legs) you need to keep your legs in constant, gentle motion. Some people do this by using an exercise bike. our physio will be able to tell you whether stationary cycling is safe for you; you may be able to use a recumbent (feet forward) exercycle, even if the upright kind is forbidden.Cycling can keep your legs moving, but it only uses a very limited range of movement; some leg muscles will be working a lot, and others won t. A range of gentle standing exercises would be better, but it might be difficult to include these in your normal day.(Stepping up and down uses the front of the thigh, and sometimes the buttock, fairly powerfully (fast fibres; sugar work). 30 minutes of this kind of work daily is quite a lot, but it s the wrong kind for your goals. You should aim for a total of at least three hours of physical work each day, working gently enough to avoid fatigue. Commuting on foot is an ideal contribution to this total; programmes like the ten thousand steps campaign encourage an increased level of activity during normal daily tasks, instead of separate fitness sessions.)Traditional yoga is performed several times a day (at least twice), and uses repetitive gentle movements. You might be able to add some yoga exercises to your repertoire.
