I''m hour glass shaped. I need to tighten lower tummy and loose butt but keep shape. I've been doing Yoga but it giving muscle and I don't need more muscle. Also, yoga gave me a 2 pack by my lower ribs and I really don't need that. Help! I'm a female.
Also would a treadmill work and what kind?

Yes buy a treadmill....I work out on mines every day and I have a simular shape to yours. I don't have a 6 pack either but it's starting to get really flat. I alternate my speeds on the treadmill which helps my body work harder at burning calories which in turn burns fat.
One fact is this: You're not going to change your shape because your BONES make yor shape so if anything your shape will be more defined and cutter. Don't worry!

I highly doubt you are gaining muscle from yoga. it does not stimulate skeletal muscle in that way as no real load is placed on the muscles. if for some reason you are gaining muscle from yoga then the body must have been in a very highly untrained state and you can afford to increase the amount of muscle mass that you have. 45-60 minutes on the treadmill 4-7 days a week for weight loss.

Well you can buy one but walking or running, biking would do the trick. You need aqny type of movement other than yoga. Aerobic activity to burn calories....muscle is good, you may just have too much fat over the muscle to appreciate it!!

Yoga is a waste. Skip it and jog as long as you can.
