Hi, I am really frustrated about my lower body.!!! I am a pair shaped woman and am very lean on top. Its my lower body that i cant seem to get the fat off of!! I am 130pds 5'3 and 24% body fat. I would like to be 16 to 18% body fat, anyway.... about the middle of june i started 3 days fasted cardio along with my weight workouts. Well my upper body seems to be getting even leaner but my butt and legs dont seem to be doing anything! arrrrrrrgggggg!! maybe i havnt given it enough time.
I read the sucess stories in Bev. magazine and i am so encouraged and i believe i can have lean legs and butt!!! But what am i doing wrong. I work out 3 days a week and my cardio is step aerobics and kickboxing, between 45 to 50min. (fasted). please any advice would be very helpful. wasnt sure where to post this so sorry if this is in the wrong place! I eat 80% clean. 6 mini meals a day and try to have protien at every meal. I have adopted the low carb eating, 3 days low and 1 day highcarb. I take lean out, glutamine select, density - mass aminos -this time trying muscularity, ultra 4, l-carnitine pre workout, uplift when weight training, fish oil and cla.

please, any advice would be VERY welcome! Any other woman that have struggled with this and beaten the lower body fat? I would love to hear what you did!

Thanks in advance,
Tricia

Google Lyle McDonald and read everything on his website. Will give a very thorough explanation to your lower body vs. upper body fat distribution disparity and how to go about training/supplementing to bring about change.

Hi Tricia. It sounds like you are off to a great start. Be patient and give your body time to work. Legs are a trouble area for a lot of us ladies. Upper body almost always comes along ahead of legs.

My suggestions are to:

1. Get your diet as close to 100% as you can. I know it's not always fun, but especially when you have a tight goal and problem areas that are lagging behind, nutrition has to be right on.
2. Look at adding some GH Factor (6 in the am & 6 before bed on empty stomach) to your program. It's great for improving healthy hormones that help with fat loss and muscle retention - espcially when you have stubborn areas. I have to have it for help with getting my glutes/legs lean down the home stretch.
3. Increase your training - at least your leg training. You should be training legs twice per week.

I always drop lower body fat when I do HIT training after my weights..for example, jog/sprint intervals on the treadmill. That combined with a spot on clean diet should deliver results. HTH!
