Cut out the junk, increase the amount of weight you do, add a little extra cardio. -------------- Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.

A few years back when my doctor was informing me to lose weight he noted how muscular my lower body was. From the stomach up it is a complete disaster but I don't want to build anymore muscle below that. Is there anything that I could possibly do it's like pure muscle down there.:(

Do more endurnace type workouts for your legs and train your upper body heavy to balance it out. eat a clean diet and you should see everything shape up. -------------- While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us. - Ben Franklin
