UKC

I do a lot of running regularly, however i have quite a fat butt and the tops of my legs are quite fat.
Are there any ways of getting rid of that quick and easily?

In reply to SophieF:

"Quickly and easily"

I doubt it! You could give up eating but that is rarely healthy. I think there are genetic limits which the pure force of will can never overcome.

I gather you consider that I am wrong in my assertion that we don't have full control of our body shape through training and diet.

Merry Christmas

In reply to JLS: merry xmas to you to

In reply to SophieF: im afraid that quickly and easily probably wont be the best way as you will just end up with flabby skin,best to do it slowly so your skin has time to tighten up.i would think just keeping doing what your doing with the running and give it time and you will get there.obviosly diet and other exercise can come into it i.e. if you eat 3000 calories a day or drink alot then you will have to do alot more than if you already have a balanced diet.

We aren't all meant to be the same shape, you know.

Eat right, get plenty of exercise, and if that doesn't change you into Jane Fonda... accept yourself. Works for me

In reply to SophieF:
Run intervals - Do lots of squats - Eat 1,500-1,800cals a day depending on how much you are running that day (8miles plus then 2,000 cals)- Limit fatty foods, fizzy drinks, 'bad' carbs..
Google - Butt Toning exercises and follow a program?
Rather than quick and easy aim for ‘Getting rid permanently’

In order to fully assess and answer your question, you need to upload a profile pic so we can see the 'affected' areas

When I had a stone to lose a few years ago, I started running and, at the same time, went on Rosemary Conley's Low Fat diet. The combination of the two made a big difference to my body shape and particularly helped slim my thighs right down. She does say in her book that a lot of people have said that that's where they lose their weight from.

In reply to SophieF: try cycling a couple of times a week, i don't know any femailes who cycle regulary who haven't got great butts, and i've done alot of research

In reply to Ava Adore:

and if Ava's figure is anything to go by, she has a very enviable figure!

Not good advice.
Intervals are good way to get quicker at running, not a good way to burn extra calories.

Limiting your calorific intake will also reduce your ability to train- which will ultimately reduce the calories you can burn, and limit your ability to develop a phyisique that can burn lots of calories.

In the long run, it's doing long runs.

In reply to SophieF: Just carry on what you are doing. as long as u are losing weight. you cant target specific areas for fat loss. its just genetic deposition. meaning some people will loose fat quicker from their bellies but slower from their legs for example. if you aim to loose a pound per week and know more than 2 pound that is healthier in the long term, as you will find it easier to keep the fat off. if you crash diet the boby will try to store the fat you eat instead of burn it.

i hope that helps. iv been competing in physique shows for a few years and have good knowledge base regarding fat loss. pm me if you would like me to explain anything in more detail.

In reply to Ander: 'Not good advice.
