Trying to target one area of the body for weight loss is not possible. The body has a system for storing the fat and it will vary a bit. But the majority of people put weight on in the abdominal area, the sides of the low back, and legs/thighs.

I agree with what every is saying, however, although one can not spot reduce, it is possible to increase lean muscle tissue in the areas where you tend to carry excess adipose tissue.

Unfortunately, the resistance on the reformer is not sufficient enough to elicit hypertrophy gains in your lower body as good old-fashiond resistance training would. Exercises like squats, lunges, leg curls and extensions will be effective to change your percentage of lean muscle tissue as opposed to adipose tissue.

However, in a nutshell, you will need to train your legs in such a way to give them a stimulus so that they change.

I hope this is of help.

Protein & interval training! And perseverance… The alpha & beta receptors are to blame so they have an extra hill to climb… But it can happen 🙂

It’s a question I hear all the time and the answer I give is very similar to the above. I hope this helps.

+1 to healthy (and calorie controlled!) eating. Only way to lose fat from any body part is to consume less than you use creating a calorie deficit.
