Weight Loss Tips for pear shaped bodies?
I’m 5′7″ and 136 pounds. my weight isn’t a real issue. My problem is i have excess fat around my hips, butt and thighs. Above my waist, I’m pretty skinny. It’s a classic pear shape body. I’m really self-conscious about it. Does anyone have tips on how to lose this particular kind of fat?? No fad Diets please. I’m looking for something along the lines of exercises…
I’m a pretty active person. I run atleast a mile, usually 2, almost daily. (not usually outside, usually on an elliptical). I have healthy habits and all. I’m just wondering if other types of exercise or certain kinds of muscle toning workouts will help.
Cardio is key, at least 3 times per week for 45+ minutes. That will Burn Fat. To firm up muscles, you could do strength training – squats or lunges, walking lunges are great and you don’t need weights to start. In fact, you may want to go lighter on weights but more reps so you don’t build muscle and make your hips look bigger (go lighter to tone). Just make sure to fatigue your muscles.
You might also want to consider working your upper body to build up just a tad to balance top and bottom. Some shoulder and back exercises like military press, rows, and others can make your upper body more proportional.
