Looking for advice for exercises for slimming legs while building a better bum

[Anonymous]

I have world’s flattest behind but thick legs. Figures I want to build a little better bum with exercise but want to slim down my legs. I do not need to lose weight. Any advice on a program. Please?

You can't spot slim your legs. A simple google search will help you understand this.

You can do specific strength training work to build your glutes.

You can't spot reduce "thickness."

But you can do glute exercises that may increase your bum, and make things more proportionate. Climb stairs, do squats and lunges (with weight and good form), and steep hill walks.

I have found barre-style classes to be great for this.

Pilates and barre

Barre. Your butt will be rounder and "lifted", and your legs will be defined. You have to do it at least 3 times a week however.

Power walk on treadmill at high incline. It's better than running on flat terrain for building a booty. Get that incline up to a 15%.

Does that incline help slim thighs, too?

Pilates with a reformer or barrre class. You can also focus on glutes...tons of bridges,squats, donkey kicks, etc.

Squats. Deadlifts. Repeat.

TONS of cardio (running especially or pool running). Squats/Deadlifts/Glute Bridges/Lunges.

You can do glute focused exercises and building up your butt can balance your legs to give them the illusion of not being bigger but building your butt means adding muscle. You can't simultaneously add muscle on your butt (bulk) while cutting fat on your thighs (cut). You could do 2-3 glute focused workouts per week (glute thrusts, kickbacks, donkey kicks, kettlebell swings, etc) and that would help pump up your butt. But you carry fat where you carry it- you can't necessarily also somehow make your legs thinner without losing weight ... which would make your butt flatter.

OP here. Thanks for all the info. Unfortunately, this routine has gotten me into trouble. I am one of those people who build legs and do nothing to my bum. I need a new approach.

Inclined treadmill works for me...burns the fat off my thighs and helps build up my glutes.
