Advices for my huge legs&bum, i'm not proportioned (pics)

Hey, I have a similar body shape to you. Are those pics recent? I would focus on your thighs and butt. My stomach is a problem area too, but honestly it requires so much hard work and dedication, and only comes out everyone in a while when I'm in a bikini, so I focus on my butt and thighs, which I can show off all year round in a skirt or shorts.

For your thighs I would focus on:
- dumbell lunges for the quads
-barbell squats for the butt
-plie squats for the difficult to target inner thigh
- glute kick back, for the butt
and try the hip adduction and abduction machines at the gym to tone up the inside and outside of your thighs.

If you only do this, and no cardio though, beware! Your thighs may appear bigger. As cardio can't spot reduce, anything you enjoy is perfect.

Also, I've not tried it, but I've heard great things about the Brazilian Butt Lift Workout.

I actually think you look great. Having curves is a good thing to me.

If you want to lose more fat on your thighs you just have to keep losing weight all over. You have a classic pear shape, and will no matter how much you weigh! This means you will probably get thinner everywhere, not just your bottom half. Squats, lunges, and other leg strength training techniques will help your thighs and bum look firmer but not smaller. Alternatively, doing arms, shoulders, and back strength training could broaden your top half a bit and make you feel more proportional.

I personally think you look great as you are, but that you look like you would still be healthy if you lost more or gained more muscle. It all depends on what type of body you want - - slim, curvy (which I think you are now!), or athletic. All are achievable with a pear shape!

I also think you look fabulous and should pat yourself on the back for all the hard work.
In regards to your bum and thighs, KEEP RUNNING !!!! I am an avid runner and have
a GERMAN girls body (AKA: Big thighs), running keeps my gams looking strong and sleek.
SO my advice is watch your diet ofcourse and KEEP RUNNING !!!!!

I know it's not what you want to hear but if i had a body like yours i would be soooooo happy. and also you have an hour glass figure so you are in perportion xxxx
Keep it up babes xxx

I'm in the same boat as you so I feel your pain! I've found that running has helped a lot for me, more than I ever thought!

agreed! You can't spot reduce. Eat a modest deficit and lift weights. You'll be good to go.

Try the Brazil Butt Lift program!

Your legs aren't huge, they're normal.

You're pear shaped. So am I. I've gone from a 36" waist to a 27.5" waist, but only from 47" hips to 43.5" hips. Your legs and bum are always going to be bigger, if you're a pear.

As for toning, others have given advice where I have none

Do a full combo of what was mentioned above. Lose more fat overall, train your entire body with weights, focus on upper body lifts to gain proprtion. Realize that if you do resistance training that actually grows your leg muscles without losing the fat on them, they will just look bigger. So if you do that and no upper body training you will look even more like you don't want to.

Weightlift!! Weightlifting is your buddy Workout your legs every other day! (be sure to have your 1-2 rest days) Squats, Lundges and tons of other great workouts for your bum and thighs. Everyone has their "problem" areas. Extra fat hits my thighs and chest like a tons of bricks! Google lower body workouts. http://fitbie.msn.com/ and http://www.oxygenmag.com have awesome workouts that you can do at home. But everyone is right, you need to weightlift and not spot train. Spot training (just focusing on your thighs) doesn't help. Keep working out your total body. Your thighs and bum will soon see it's reward

I have the exact same issue and found that the butt bible (cheap on amazon) really helps to tone and lift your butt if you can stick with it.

I agree that squats and lunges will not help a pear/spoon shaped woman. It would be better to do a variety of leg lifts, such as push-outs and scissors. Strengthening your quads won't help slim your inner thighs, but strengthening your upper body will make you look more proportioned. Also, your overall body fat has to decrease.
