Why don t you want to gain muscle? 90% of women think they have a lot of muscle underneath the fat but it s rarely true. Stop worrying about gaining muscle! Even for men, who try REALLY hard to gain muscle, it is tough to do. And as a woman, you don t have the growth hormones that men do so even if you tried to gain muscle, you wouldn t gain much.Secondly, you can t do spot reduction . It s been proven time and time again. You can t just lose fat on your legs. Now, it might be that your genetics force your fat to your legs but don t think about losing fat on my legs think losing overall bodyfat, which happens to be centered around my legs .So the only way to lose fat is to consume fewer calories than you burn. It all starts with your diet. Eat fewer calories than you burn and you will lose weight. But to lose fat, and not lose muscle, you do need to exercise. Weight lifting actually DOES burn more calories than most other forms of exercise because you burn calories during the exercise itself AND you continue to burn calories for many hours afterward (it s called EPOC). Cardio will help burn calories but to be honest, without all your specifics (age, weight, height, current eating habits, etc.) nobody will be able to truly answer your individual question.But exercise is secondary. Start with your eating habits.
Women really need to stop being afraid of gaining muscle. Gaining muscle doesn t necessarily mean that you will get bigger. Muscle takes up less space than fat does, so if you gain 5 lbs of muscle, but lose 5 lbs of fat, you will weight the same but you will be smaller, leaner, more toned, and fit into smaller clothes, and look much better. If you have a little more muscle it will be much easier to lose fat because you will have a faster metabolism. Also if you train properly, your muscle tissue will become more dense, not larger and plumped out like a body builder. So don t be afraid to lift weights and add some lean muscle tissue. Also you need to eat right, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, and manage your stress well.

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it��s hard, that��s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.Source(s):ok i didnt write this but i copied and pasted the words but i just put it in number order and made it easier to read.
