Breaststroke and thunder thighs.

I don't really have fat there (I wish I had, them I could fix the problem), even when I was doing ballet you could see my muscles stick out... I don't like it. But I guess since I love breaststroke I have to learn to live with it...and wear more skirts! :rofl: I don't worry too much about my shoulders, I would like for them to get a bit bigger....:banana:

then eat less. Any less and I would have to totally stop eating.....:rofl:

I could not wear my correct waist size 501's b/c of my thighs. I doubt "thunder thighs" is an appropriate name for anyone who is in decent shape as a swimmer. Firm and toned legs are attractive even if they feel "huge" to you. I doubt they really look it to any guys etc.

:confused: From what I understand, dedicated exercise to remove certain spot will not make much difference. So, if I continue to exercise, fats from all over will be burned at "even" rate. Eventually, the fats from certain spot will be gone along with the fats from where you don't want it removed! :o My boobs is now a A not C. :( I'm still waiting for my thigh to show the fruit of my work. If it is not gone by then, you can always go for liposuction. Muscles - I don't care if it is bigger in one area over the other. I prefer muscles over fat. :D

SwimStud Thanks. I don't get any complains from my husband :) ...but pants not fitting my legs really freaked me out. But I see what you mean, so thank you! I prefer muscles over fat. :D You're right! I guess I shouldn't complain. Just was wondering if all breaststrokers have bigger legs on the top... :coffee:

If you want to avoid this fate, stay away from the abducter/adducter (I'm sure I'm spelling those wrong) machines or at least go light weight/heavy reps. I credit those machines with much of my leg strength. Oh no! Those are my favorite machines!!!! :(

Is this your problem? i2.photobucket.com/.../34W2T2painted.jpg If so, don't worry about it. Wear loose clothing. It's more demure and most guys prefer women they really care about to be demure; although they usually like women they don't really care about to dress provacatively. (Face blanked because I didn't get permission to use the pic.)

They were never wactly baggy on my legs anyhow...I should try them on in a shop and report my finding. I'm sure your legs are very shapely, and Mr Gerdrick is happy :)

Is this your problem? i2.photobucket.com/.../34W2T2painted.jpg Wow!!! No, I am not THAT shapely! :) Nice Photoshop work around the hips... :laugh2:

:) Nice Photoshop work around the hips... :laugh2: Hi Gerdrick, Instant aerobics. :banana: Much easier than actually excercising. Happy to help. :woot: =TBk
