Dears pls help the Pears!

CricketKate

I used to be a pear. Since having my 4 children, I'm sort of a lopsided jelly bean where I have a pooch in front and a bubble in back. I am trying c25k again in hopes that I can teach myself to be a runner. The first time I tried, I ended up with knee surgery (a cyst in my knee, not related to my running) the second time I tried, I got tendonitis, 3rd times the charm?

Hey, I'm a pear too. I'm 5'5 and and 56.6kg. I did my last measurements a few weeks ago and they were: bust: 85cm, waist: 67cm, hips: 95cm, thighs: 25.5cm. I don't know how much I can reduce my hips tho because I don't have much of a bum, my hips are just naturally wide. Upper thighs are my main concern and i'm not really sure how to reduce them. I'm hoping as I lose more weight they will just get thinner.

Does anyone have any exercises that they do for upper and middle thighs?

debbie of slim in 6 has another dvd called GREAT BODY GUARANTEED she has separate programs for buns and thighs, u can choose the thigh one

if dvd is not the solution then apparently u need to workout ur quadriceps and hamstings (front n back) abductors and adductors(outer and inner thigh) so search on web for those targeting excercises

similarly tony horton of p90x has thigh slimmer and bun shaper as two different programs but its not p90x itsomething like power... dont remember name fully, i have bun shaper but not thigh slimmer

CricketKate

Count me in. I'm terrified of the Killer Bun and Thigh workout, but having friends and a challenge will definately help!

I am a reluctant pear, I don't think that will ever change, but I still want to slim down.
I'll try the challenge and sub JM KBnT with JM 30DS. I got halfway through C25K a couple of months ago, before my treadmill broke. I want to try to do my running at a park and will probably skip the first couple of weeks.

I am almost 5'6 and a size 8/10 in pants.
My starting measurements were : 34, 30, 43.
As of 10/2, my measurements are : 33, 28, 41
I hope that I lost more inches since then, but don't want to measure until next month.

I'm planning on picking up the JM bun workout this week. I think that I would like to start the challenge on the 31st instead of the first, that way day 7 will fall on Sunday. I'm excited to get started, I have been needing some motivation to start something.

Hey Pears! I am happy to be here! I was given this link and I figured I would post here and give you an idea on my lovely pearyness shape!

I am 27 years old
I am 5 feet 5 inches
My starting weight is 200lbs
My current measurements are the following:
Upper Bust: 41 inches
Lower Bust: 39 inches
Upper Arms: 13 inches EACH
Waist: 37.5 inches
Hips: 46 inches
Thighs: 26.5 inches EACH
Calves: 16 inches EACH

Now, if you look at my shape I am almost an hour glass, but this is not true. My issue with my bust measurement is this: I have unnaturally large ribcage. My bust itself is a 34A, but they always claimed I was a B, but it is because of my large ribcage. If I put myself in a B I could add about two pairs of socks in each bra cup to make it fill out properly!

But I am a pear!
What I do to work out my pearyness is this:
>I work on the stationary bike, it really helps out with the thighs and tush.
>I work on the leg press, this really works out the thighs and tush.
>I do side rolls with free weights. You stand up straight, chest out and use a weight and roll to the side to about your knee, or as far as you can go to stretch out the sides of your abdomen.
>I try to work out my arms and shoulders in anyway that I can because if you build muscle, or a stronger upper body, your frame can turn more into an hour glass than a pear.
>When I go swimming I hold onto a foam board and only use my legs to kick laps back and forth across the pool.
>When I go swimming I try to do leg raises raising my knees as high as I can and walk across the shallow end of the pool.

WELL!
That is me!
Right now I am currently working on dancing, belly dancing especially focuses on the lower part of the body which is nice because it will help tone that part of your body! But yeah! Enjoy what you do!
