fatty tissue on tops of thighs Posted: 05-03-08 18:12pm
Hi, I'm asking for advice because I don't
know what to do about the tops of my
thighs. When I was younger I gained weight
on my hips and thighs, and I've lost
weight because a i exercise daily, have an
active job, and walk everyday, but I can't
seem to get rid of the fat in these areas.
I've had tem for so long now that it
really gets me upset because I ask myself
if I will ever get rid of the them. The
fat is solid, so yeah it doesn't sag but
it doesn't budge either! any advice or
tips to get rid of them please? thanks so
much.

Its all about diet and building up the
muscles. Lunges,squats and step ups should
help but spot reduction is a myth. You can
never have too strong of legs though so
get to the gym and get started. Look to
get on a diet that works for you. If you
need help I could put something together
for you if you were interested PM to let
me know about that.

A fitness trainer told me that exercising
the muscles will only push the fat outward
making it more noticeable.
Like with belly fat, you have to do cardio
a lot to get rid of the fat BEFORE
building the muscles because the defined
muscles will only push the fat out
more....

that staement is false. belly fat and
toning and definition and all that falls
into diet and cardio. Not cardio OR diet.
Both must happen and be followed very
strictly or else no results will be
achieved. Cardio is the least of the
fitness equation...
Nutrition is 80%
Weights are 15%
Cardio is 5%
Understand that and follow it then you are
on your way to achieving what is it you
want to do.
