Pear Shaped!

Hey peeps, ok so. I'm pear shaped. Extremely peer shaped. I have big hips and thighs, but no boobs. I actually enjoy the size of my thighs and hips, my legs are strong from play soccer for 13 years, I generally like the way my legs look. I have pretty short legs (I'm short in general, but my legs are extremely short in comparison with my torso. I can tilt my hips back a little when standing in order to sort of balance my hips, but it's awkward. I've read that I shouldn't do leg exercises because this will cause my legs to become bigger and throw off my balance even more. But I can't stop doing legs, I love leg workouts and I'm definitely still trying to tone my legs. I've started working on arms and back a little, and it's definitely the weakest part of my body. My question is, should I stop doing leg workouts and work solely on arms/back/core? What are the best workouts for my body type? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, and I'd love to hear from other pear shaped girls and how they make the most out of their body! Thanks guys!

This post is pretty old but meh I'll answer anyways haha

For we pear-shaped ladies leg workouts can increase the muscle size of our thighs and calves. So it will look "bulkier."

Try doing more cardio and you will see that your legs (yes even short legs like mine) will have a nice tone and more definition. Pilates is wonderful to lengthen muscles and target the inner thighs (that are so freaking hard to tone with our body shape).

Another workout that works great is jump rope, HIIT, and ballet-type workouts.

This is what I have learned and hopefully this works for you too!
