Yes, I'm a pear!
Measure (cm): 84 - 69 - 99
A very lean and thin "upper part" (and my face now is SO thin and long), and quite a chubby bottom and tigh... my calves are quite "ok" instead, and my ankles very thin. I've always been exercising or playing some sport (volleyball for 15 years!!) and I consider myself quite athletic (BMI 20.8, body fat around 20%)... but still my thigs are big... and they even look bigger, compared to the rest of the body!
What kind of exercise do you suggest me to slim down my thigs a little?
I know I will never have skinny Barbie legs, but still I feel they SHOULD be a little bit thinner. And I have the impression that the most I exercise, the worse they get... I mean, of course the get thighter, but the muscle grow in a way I don't like... I seem a soccer player!
So far, in the last year I've been swimming (basically crawling style) 2/3 times a week (medium intensity, about 40 minutes) and running 1/2 times a week for 15+15 minutes. Now I'm trying to substitute the run with a walk (high intensity, 1hour and 15min) just to see if there is any change...
any suggestions?
