Reducing body fat to stop the wobble

bex1086

As of yesterday my weight is 110.2lbs and I'm 5"1 so I'm at a healthy BMI of 21. I use my scales to measure my fat which gives me an idea of trends. It's now at 27.4% whereas in July 2018 it was 34.3% so I'm going in the right direction.

However I really need to work on getting rid of the flab from my lower half, being a pear shaped this is where it's all stored. I really want to look good in a pair of shorts and a swimming costume by summer.

My fitness plan is as follows:

Tuesday-1 and a bit hours at the gym. 20-30 minutes of cardio followed by resistance machines, free weights and core exercises.

Thursday as above

Friday as above but often followed by leisurely swimming for half an hour to wind down.

Cardio workout is either interval training on cross trainer or stair climber, straight run on a treadmill at a small incline (2%) or a sprinting programme which is set to a highish incline (6%) I find the cardio warms me up for weights but I'll try pick stuff where I'm working my legs.

Resistance machines are hips, legs, chest, arms, shoulders and I continuously up a weight or add an extra rep, depending on how easy I'm finding them.

Free weights don't get increased that much, I do weighed squats but haven't managed to make the jump from a 10kg bag to a 15kg bag and weighted lunges with a 3kg dumbbell in each hand. Then it's ab work so leg raises and planks. Tlme is restricted so I can't keep adding reps so I need a way of making them difficult.

Saturday's I've just started a metafit class which is 30 minutes long.

Mondays and Wednesdays I'm home with 2 small kids so exercise is limited during the day and evenings I'm at work.

Sunday's are limited too as it's family time, husbands time, general housework time.

On these 3 days I can squeeze in something short that I can do in the house. I have a set of 3kg dumbbells and a balance ball.

Diet wise I've set myself a target of losing 0.5lbs a week which gives me 1340 calories and I don't eat back exercise calories as I have no idea what I've burnt.

Now I have just got back on the wagon after falling off from Christmas but I'm back at my pre Christmas weight now so need to really keep focused.

Is there anything I should be doing that I'm not to really boost that fat loss and banish those wobbly thighs for the summer??

Thanks

I'm hoping I've uploaded a picture of my legs in the shortest pair of shorts I own. I'm not intending to wear anything this short out in public anyway so perhaps a different pair will hide some flaws..
