So I'm a pear-shaped girl and would like to lose weight from the areas mentioned above. I heard that I should have to decrease carb intake and eat a lot of protein in order to burn the fat,but the problem is ,I don't want to get muscles, I just want to lose fat from these areas. does anyone know any effective exercise routine that would help me.


Thanks in advance

    There are no specific exercises that will help you lose fat in any area. You need to adjust your diet so you are eating less than you burn in a day. Then you will lose fat. And you will lose it all over- not in any one spot. Of course any cardio will quicken the burn. So run, walk, jump rope or take a zumba class.

    Now, if you want to strengthen those glutes and hams, not to mention quads, core and back - throw some weight on your back and squat.

    Calorie deficit = fat loss. Your body picks where and when you lose the fat. For "pear shaped" women, sadly our hips and thighs are the last place fat leaves.

    However, you shouldn't be afraid of muscle. You won't gain a significant amount even lifting heavy, if you are on a diet. Retaining and strengthening the muscles makes your legs look better even if the fat remains. My legs still have fat on them but they also have a nice muscle underneath the fat that shows when I walk, or lift, and my booty looks better than it has in years.

    ^^this. No food will 'burn the fact' - a calorie deficit will. However, you should get sufficient protein to make the most of strength training. To strengthen the muscles the best exercises are squats, lunges, deadlifts and hill sprints.

    Yup, listen to these folks. Our bodies lose fat in patterns that are predetermined by our genetics. Generally speaking, our problem areas are the first places to store fat and the last places to lose it. You have to stay patient and consistent.

    And avoid people who tell you that you "need to do this" or you "have to do that." There are very few absolutes when it comes to this stuff. Yeah, low carb diets work well for some folks. Not so much for others though. You have to experiment until you find something that feels right/natural for you.
