Help me! I can't lose my hip fat!!!

lilbee99 Posts: 25 Joined: 2006/04/15	2006/04/16, 07:52 PM I already posted a topic telling you about my problem but in this one i'm going to be more specific with what my deal is, i have been doing some cardio for a week now mainly the treadmill and some legs & bun exercises at home to tone up, getting a trainer at the gym is too expensive for me to afford so i need some tips on how i can get an intense full body workout to lose fat and really tone up. I'm not a beginner in working out so you can just throw any intense workout at me and i will go with it. My biggest problem area is my hips because that's where i carry the most fat and my legs. It's hard for me to where the clothes i want because of those 2 areas so please please help me!!! I don't want to exercise my butt all the way to the point where i don't have one! so just to let you know. I'm highly movitated and determined to get in shape but i just need the right workout plan to get the right results i'm desperately yearning for. Please anybody with the right answer reply!!! Thanks!

Keep it up!!! It usually takes a few weeks before you start to notice results. Also, how is your diet? Try reducing a couple hundred calories per day. Unfortunately, from what I have herd in the past, is that some people genetically have large legs/ thighs, which seems so unfair. :( On the positive side, you can tone up, loose some fat and make improvements!!!! As far as weight training/exercises....hummm I have a hard time explaining in words what to do:laugh: So if anyone can help lilbee99 out with this one it would be great! Keep up the cardio and watch your diet, your off to a great start! Good Luck!

You have to eat right and do the right exercises,that are targeted for these areas.Some I do recommend to start with Lunges Squats Lying Side Leg raises. If you go to Health Resources at the top of this page you will find a series of exercises that can help.As well you can fill out a Fitness Plan that will help you set up a plan that works for you

It is so unfair, when you see someone who has a great body, but doesnt workout often, and eats almost whatever they want and will never gain a pound!!!! Some women can work forever to strength train, and do cardio, and stick to an excellent diet, but always end up wtih a curvy figure. I remember even back in the days when i was in highschool, when i was 115lbs, I was still unsatisfied with my hips and thighs. I guess we all just have to learn to love our bodies, and do the best we can to take care of them! :love:
