  1. Well, specifically pears.....

    I am one! And I know I can not change this body shape, and that 'spot
    reducing' is a myth!

    Currently I do weights, around 3 times per week, a varying routine depending
    on if im at the gym or free weights at home. But always compound exercises,
    8-10 reps and covering all major muscle groups.

    I do feel that although I am very happy with the strength and looks of my
    upper body, and strength of my lower body - my lower body (thighs, and bum)
    are carrying a bit of excess fat. I find my trousers a bit tight around the
    thighs generally.

    So, would like to add *regular* aerobic exercise to my weekly schedule. But
    what?....
    My choice is running (long, slow/hill/interval etc?), swimming, ski machine
    thingy, stair climber, rower or circuits. Which one would be most beneficial
    to shift fat off of the top of my nice leg muscles?

    Thanks,
    Lynsey.

    All of the above. Each of the exercises listed above have their
    benefits, also varying intensities is always good. You will find it
    physically and mentally rewarding to mix your exercists and vary
    intensity/duration. It helps to keep things interesting.

    If you have a gym membership, try alternating treadmill, elliptical
    machine and rowing (my favorite) each cardio day. If you don't have
    a gym membership, mix endurance running with speed/agility/quickness
    drills (i.e. windsprints).
