    you cannot spot reduce, fat comes off where and when it wants to you can build lean muscle in that area and thats what you should do squats, deadlifts etc-TY

    I know you cant spot reduce,


    Asked and answered.

    Yeah, it blows, but there isn't anything you can do about it.

    I was in the Publix the other day and perusing the magazine aisle. One of the popular women's "fitness" mags was telling me how I could blast inner thigh fat in only 20 mins a day. This is one of my biggest bane's when it comes to my body. Despite the dozens of books, journals, articles, studies (yeah, I'm a geek) I've read that all tell me the only way it will work is by reducing my fat overall, I still found myself wanting to get the rag, er, mag, and target that trouble zone! Damn you, women's "fitness" industry with your 2# weights and unscientific advice.......

    Just an anecdote. But yeah, keep on keepin' on and you'll see it.

    I've always struggled with big thighs (in my mind)... the only thing that I've found is long duration cardio... The only time I've been happy with my upper thighs has been when I was swimming 6kms a week, or running about 15 - 20 miles a week.

    Note also: in both cases, I kept that pace up for 6 months before I saw ANY differences...

    Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS at your amazing progress!!! So proud for you!
