Drumstick or Tree Trunk Legs with Skinny Upper Body, Help!

[Anonymous]

I am at my ideal weight. I have a very thin upper body. My legs are a thick looking mess. Besides lipo, any workout strategy ideas? My inner thighs are especially bad. Anything that has worked for you?

Lipo was the only thing that worked for me. Why are you against it?

Nothing is going to change your proportions other than lipo.

That's me too, OP. My mother looks at my lower half and says: "you should lose some weight". And if I do, I look like a skeleton on top.
So I just try to exercise regularly and eat right to stay at the same weight but have a toned look. It doesn't change my proportions, but at least it prevents adding a tire in the middle!

Meditation, acceptance?

Doesn't lipo in one area make you gain weight in another?

No only if you let yourself go and gain weight

NO! There are no deep compartments of fat on the leg and ankles. Consequently, liposuction of the legs is necessarily done rather superficially and has an increased risk of injury. Because of the effects of gravity, the veins in the legs and ankles are especially susceptible to the long-term effects of vascular injury.

Build up your upper body. See a trainer - you may be at your ideal weight but your body fat might be too high, or your body fat is just fine and you just have a lot of leg muscle. I am in the latter camp, and I make sure to balance out my workouts with upper body work.
