My upper body is really slim, but my lower body is really out of proportion, and my legs are fat.

How can i burn this leg fat fast?
Thanks!

first of all going on a diet can help you,if your upper body is slim it doesnt mean that you dont need to go on a diet,when you go on a diet you will lose fat from every part that have extra fat.but to hel your body keep its ballance you need to exercise and your exerscise must contian strenght exercises for your upper body in order to avoide making it too small and aerobics execise such as walking and mountain climbing and swimming for your lower body.
the best exercise for lower body is using ELIPTICAL

Are these battery/electricity powered thingys any good or just a con? How long would I have to use them for (and how often) to get a result?

They are supposed to work, I have never tried them personally;

Title says it all.I wanna replace my fat with muscle but I figure that if I wanted to lose weight,adding muscle would be counter-productive.Should I continue to diet,exercise and lift weights or first focus on shedding the pounds,then adding the muscle?

try the Lil jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezris

i am 13 and not athletic. i hate vegetables but i love fruit. with the economy the way it is i cannot afford fresh fruit, especially in the winter. and with winter here, i cant go outside for a walk/run. i am 5′3” and weigh 137 pounds so im at risk of getting over weight. i want to feel good about myself during the summer and feel comfortable in my own skin.. does anybody have any ideas/tips?

Hi,
I’m about the same size as you. I’m 13, 5′4 and 125lbs. What I am doing is working out 6 days a week, doing cardio, treadmill, stationary bike, and bow flex. I eat 3 healthy meals and 2 healthy snacks and about 1200 calories a day. I lost 6pounds if the first couple days and feeling satisfied.

i have heard that sit ups r good ? how many would be enough to lose the fat quickly?
i have heard that sit ups r good but r there any other exercisies?

Try the following : do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don’t over 60 minutes at a time.

Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don’t look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read fitness magazines, like Shape and Fitness for motivation and tips.

Good luck and stick at it.
