Jodhpurs

These are not that bad for jodhpurs, huh?
If you look like you are dressed for polo in regular leggings, although, it can be discouraging.
I tried to do hundreds of leg lifts as a teenager:
A.Make that thousands.
B.That made me gain an inch of something, I guess muscle but it looks like fat to me.
C.That exercise did not work.

To avoid suspense, we'll get on with a better alternative. I have had luck lifting and toning the thighs and other areas with barbells.
A.I didn't think that was that hard either.
B.The measurements did not get larger!
C.Hooray.

I like to do 10 to twenty repetitions of lifting to the shoulder or at least the waist and about fifty to eighty pounds.

The End.
