Hi Lourdes,
It sounds like you do a lot of cardio; you want to cut down and swap it for some heavy weights. If you start training the deep-tissue muscles in your legs (and elsewhere, as a choice for the recovery days for your legs), your body will start adding strength and size in those sexy areas and as a happy side-effect, the fat around your midsection will melt away.
So try to add heavy weights at least twice a week. The heaviest you can lift for 6 reps (5 sets). Do Romanian dead lifts, straight-legged dead lifts, weighted squats and some lunges. The seated leg-press machine is another good one.
Be sure to take a recovery shake straight after those workouts.
Happy body-sculpting!
I am 5", I weight 101lbs, and I am 35 years old. I am bony and carry most of my fat in my mid-section and back. How can I gain muscle all over but mainly on my thighs because they are super skinny. I excercise about six days a week. HELP!!!!??
