i have a big butt and thighs and i want to get rid of that. i know what kind of diet i should get on and diet so that is not my question. my question is:

will lunges help my butt & thighs get smaller?
[one time for a week or two i did TONS of lunges and then all a sudden i got a big booty. (before that, i had a fairly small booty) so now i am worried that if i do MORE lunges, my butt will get bigger and not small because of my experience from the past.]

by the way i went from a small butt, did lots of lunges > got a big butt, then after a while of not excersizing it turned kinda fat instead of muscle. :\

any advice/tips?

how do i get smaller butt and thighs?

thanks!!

Try a spinning class on a regular basis.

Spinning is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called (obviously enough) a spinning bike. As you pedal, motivating music plays and the instructor talks you through a visualization of an outdoor cycling workout: "You're going up a long hill now, you can't see the top yet.…" During the class you vary your pace -- sometimes pedaling as fast as you can, other times cranking up the tension and pedaling slowly from a standing position. This helps you to focus inwardly and work on your mind as well as your body.

Spinning burns serious calories (about 450 in 45 minutes) and offers an awesome aerobic workout that makes your heart pump fast. It also tones your quadriceps (front thigh muscles) and outer thigh muscles like nobody's business! Because you stay in one place with the same basic movement throughout, Spinning doesn't involve a lot of coordination; it's easier to concentrate on your form than in other types of aerobic classes. And although you follow the general instructions of the spinning teacher, you are in control when it comes to your pace. You can finish a spin class, regardless of your fitness level, simply by adjusting your pace or the tension knob on the bike.

Lunges (and dips, and squats, and leg press...) will tone your leg muscles, but won't make your legs bigger or smaller. Do lots of cardio and eat clean at least 90% of the time and your legs and butt will get smaller.

Keep in mind that they may never be as small as you want... I'm a pear shape and I've noticed that the overall shape of my body does not change with an insignificant weight gain or loss. If I lose 5 or 10 pounds, I lose it everywhere so even though my legs and butt are smaller, I'm still a pear shape.

Ok possibly its simply me however, having a large butt is well! men adore it, and it relatively fits ladies...why might you wish to be flat? Im definite the leggins appear well, dont be foolish be completely happy with what you received.!
