Losing Weight Off Your Glutes And Upper Thighs
Hello there, I still have a question about my own situation. I really can’t lose weight off my lower body and my butt in particular. Well anymore weight is more accurate since I have made some progress.
I am 31, five foot six and 127 pounds, which I am sure sounds fine to you, but not to me. I have tried everything to get down to 120. Currently I walk 3 times a week for 40 min and do 300 crunches and pilates everyday. My upper body is really nice and tight and small. It is my lower body that wont move. Very fat legs, butt and big upper thighs. I am a size 5 on top and a 7 or 8 on the bottom. I hate it so much. I am getting tired of eating less and less and still no weight is coming off. And I do eat very clean. Do you have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.
Also I like to sit in the sauna for about a half an hour when I go to the gym. Would it be better for me to lose weight and inches in my glutes and upper thighs if I go in the sauna before I do my weights and cardio, or after my work out?
thanks
Alaina
I am guessing it is a problem with your resistance training and possibly the fact that you are not eating enough. Extremely great physiques require extreme workouts. Pilates and yoga and other activities are great for staying in shape and increasing health but cannot produce the VISUAL extremes that resistance training combined with dedicated cardio does.
Check out this video of me training two clients for an excellent example of what fast paced resistance training for the lower body looks like.

If you would like some help with directly training your lower body, legs and glutes check out this primer on glute exercises and this complete article on training the butt in a well rounded routine. Simply follow the two links in the resource box at the end of this article.
Now for using the sauna as a tool for losing weight off your lower body and glutes. It doesn’t really matter when you do it because all you are losing is water weight through perspiration. As soon as you drink some water after, your right back where you started. The benefits of the sauna are mostly in the relaxation and cleansing.
The last point I would like to address is how many calories you are eating. If you have reduced your caloric intake too much, you will never lose fat off your upper thighs. There is a guideline of going no lower than 1100 calories unless advised by a doctor. Even when doctors use this for their own reasons in extremely obese patients, I cringed. Taking in less than this puts you in starvation mode and the only thing your body cares about is retaining and saving all the calories it can so you continue to live!
Eat balanced, small meals and for someone like yourself, you should be eating around 1715 calories when active and go no lower than 1372 in extreme dieting cases.
I hope that helps.
