I like big butts and I can not lie,
and all you other brothers can't deny,
when a girl walks in, with an itty bitty waist,
and a round thing in yo' face,
YOU GET SPRUNG!

I had to. + I just saw Ross & Rachael sing it on Friends just before.

on topic; wrong forum xP.

I have a big ass and fat thighs. And yes, its totally unproportional to my upper half body.
hmm~for me, running works though. I think it might work for u too, but just slower.
Did u massage ur thighs after running? U should...haha

try some fat burning creams? LOL heard of those?
ah~right, u can try wrapping ur thighs with the thin plastic sheets for covering food, lol what do u call that? xP
Let ur thighs sweat for maybe 30 min? it will be better if u wrap ur thighs after exercising. Ur thighs will sweat more.
This will help reduce water tension~and makes ur thighs appear thinner.
hope that helps~

i use to run too until it made my thighs kind of bulky, pilates also help but i hate slow movement excercises, i've been doing last minute abs (from hip hop abs) and its really helped my butt and thighs.

omg i thought of that when i saw this thread title too. 'cause i saw that same Friends ep just before too.



try skipping rope?
i tried doing those leg cruches/lunges religiously for a few months and it didnt really help me.

i know this isn't too relevant but does anyone know how to slim down calves?

[une_fleur]

I've been running every single day for two months, but I haven't made any progress on my butt and thighs. My butt and thighs do NOT match with my upper body. Are there any exercises that anyone is willing to share to help me out please?

Do you just run? How long/times a week?
You might need some muscle building exercises added to your regime. Or maybe a different type of cardio would work better for you, have you ever tried cycling? (riding the bike that goes nowhere )
I have naturally bigger hips/thighs, and cycling is what helped me the most.

[angelliiii]

i have big thighs and i lovee it.

if you really want to lose fat on the thighs, swimming and jump rope is the way to go

[PandaBun]

I know what you mean!! I'm unproportional too. What really really really sucks is that the more I run and work my leg muscles, the bigger they seem to get! If you really don't care about muscles that much in the legs (I don't) and just want it to have more of a pencil shape, then you should try swimming, stretching (yoga, everyday once in morning once in evening), massaging and pummeling ur thighs and butt areas to ease away dimpled skin and increase circulation, massage ur feet and ankles (its very important!). You basically want a nicer shape, and massaging really helps with the appearance of your legs.

If you do run, make sure to not run too fast. From my experience, I do better jogging at a comfortable pace for a long time, then running really fast for a shorter period of time (that tends to increase my thigh circumference because of the muscles).

I'm sure you eat healthy, so just really limit your sugar intake and eat mindfully.

And if you just want to feel better, go have a cup of tea

LMAO! why?!! WHY?! now i'm laughing and that song is going to get stuck in my head.

booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere!

BUWAHHAHAHA~

i say do exercises that focus on abs, butt, and thigh region. i think swimming will tone that region.

[meilove]

wait so do u want to get rid of it or gain it..O_o

[mz simmonz]

sadly my butt+thighs are soooo out of porporation with my smaller upper half of my body..I think you just have to lose weight overall because no matter what you will always be bigger on the bottom than on top..I guess toning it would take really hard work since target/spot training is tough..I used to do squats which helped a little but the most effective method was losing weight all over.

[nori_neko_red]

Try these "Thigh Trimmers"

You'd probably have to do these often to see results.

But I have the same problem as you.
However, my body shape is "inverted triangle",
so it kind of helps me get the illusion of an hourglass figure.
Although I would like to get rid of the flabbyness from there!

I recommend interval training.
Jog for about a minute then sprint for 30 secs, if you can't do that, or it's too easy, you can adjust it and increase the sprinting time/decrease jogging time. Do this for a max of 20 minutes, any more than that and it's pretty much overkill. Interval training keeps your heart rate high and seriously.. sprinting is crazy.
My point is, just jogging isn't going to help burn much fat, if you're trying to lose weight. If you want to slim up a little, you have to do intense sprinting because sprinting is something your body can't get used to. If you constantly jog at one pace, your body gets used to it and learned to utilize its energy sources (fat, carbs, etc.) so it ends up burn less fat for more energy. If you sprint, you continually push your body to use more of those resources and thus not allow it to adapt.

Oh and slimming down has a lot to do with your diet.

Don't lunges make your thighs slimmer? I'm probably wrong though.

YES This is the 100% correct answer! Kirosuke knows what's up. (:

I have 4 different personal trainer friends that have a really impressive clientele, respectively. When I need advice on nutrition, strength, weightlifting, or how to lose fat, they are the ones who advise me, and High-Intensity Interval Training is the downright QUICKEST way to burn off fat, when you're also on a healthy diet.

Recent clinical studies show that using this interval training burns 9 times as much subcutaneous fat than just jogging/running steadily alone. After doing a 4-minute session of sprinting for 30 seconds (with your MAXIMUM EFFORT - speed doesn't matter, just run like crazy!!!) and jogging for 30, you will want to die. You might feel like throwing up, even. But for the next 4 hours... you'll feel hot, and still sweating a bit. The body fat is still going to burn off of you for the next 24-48 hours.

Do HIIT every other day, in between weightlifting and a proper diet, and you definitely will see a difference. Although for a beginner, I think a 30/60 split is more recommended. It's preferred that you do this on a track or something too, since machines are kind of hard to go all out on.

MOST Important to know, Spot reducing is a myth. You can't lose "just the fat on your thighs", it's all over your body. I promise you though, keep this routine up consistently and with maximum effort in the Sprints, and get out a tape measurer in 3-4 weeks and see if your thighs and waistline haven't gone down. It WORKS.

4 minutes a day. You can handle that, yah?

[thaoie]

Drink lots and lots of water. No exercise. =]

[kimchi hana]

Okay, I am seriously getting sick of seeing these topics come up.
I don't mean to be....mean, but if you just look through 10 freaking pages of health & fitness,
you can find just about 5 threads asking for tips and whatnot. ALL REPEATED TIPS, TOO.

Anywho, running isn't to help lose fat around there. It basically builds calf muscle.
Try some yoga. Or pilates. Those Top 10 Thigh Trimmers. There are endless possibilities.

[megan92]

^i also want to reduce my butt/thighs a bit. i'm gonna have to try this sprinting business now since all i do is run/jog at the same pace for a long time. it has helped some but yeah, need more results!!

yipeee i'll give it a try tomorrow. and i must also clean up my diet. i've been eating horribly these past few days. once i let myself indulge once it takes forever to get back on track. X_X

[LYRA]

Does biking on intense stationary biking machines burn off fat on thighs and butt? I noticed at my college's gym, we have these intense-looking bike classes... most of these girls (and most are girls) have proportional butts and thighs.

When I mean intense, it really is! They remove their butts from the bike seat and just ride the bike by using the strength in their butt and thighs... I tried that... my gosh, burn

[Soulever]

^ It sounds like you are describing a "spinner bike" that they use in Spinning classes. It's quite different from your average stationary cycling - you have an instructor sorta talking you through visualizations which help keep you focused. "Ok, now we're all going up a big long hill!" <-- that kinda thing.

It's a great aerobic workout for your lower body in general, and can burn about 450 calories in 45 minutes on average. The only problem is that it doesn't quite work out ALL your lower body muscles, so you would need to cross-train to compensate, and look out for knee injuries.
