Any ideas on getting my butt, thighs, and tummy firm in 2wks? Just found out today my whole family is going to Panama City for a weekend and I only have one 1 peice swimsuit and I don't like it. Can't wear the 2 peice ones though without some real quick toning. (you said you are a swimmer so I figure you might be an exercise nut too)

Hmm. I'm not an excersise nut, but I did play a multitude of sports. Let me think.

Okay - butt. Do squats. Lots of squats. You will be able to tell that you are doing enough because you won't be able to move the next day. Try doing five sets of 10 squats each.

Thighs - Lie on your side and keep your legs straight. Tense your legs and lift the top leg up until it's as high as you can get it without bending your knee. Do five sets of 10 each (for each leg, just switch sides).

Stomach - Crunches or situps if you can handle it. Do five sets of 20 each.

If these seem too easy, up the number of sets till it gets hard.

I don't know if these will help - you'll have to let me know.

And, if there's a pool nearby, swimming is the best toning excercise in the world.
