As a fellow bottom-heavy lucky lady, I'll quintuple what has already been said here. Like Natasha and Nathalie, I have been working on my lower body project for a while. For me, the goal was thinner but more muscular thighs. I wanted to see some quad muscles! I feel like it's so much harder to work those muscles, and you really have to persevere and hang in there, but eventually I have seen the changes I have been working for. But, it has taken me a year of steady work to get some progress. Like others have mentioned, I started doing more weight work, and trying to do my legs at least once, but ideally twice a week. I also find plyo makes a big difference, not only in helping burn the fat, but also adding muscle. Good form on leg exercises has also been important. I feel like my results have been better when I make the effort to use the full range of motion, no matter how much it burns, I just need to push through that discomfort. It's been hard, but it's been working, which keeps me on track. I've said this before, but the LIS rotation helped me a lot in this area. I also added Butts and Guts to my rotation for a month. I was going to do that rock bottom rotation, but started STS instead, and those leg workouts have been very effective for me too.
I also eat clean and I *know* that makes a big difference.
The good news is I've ditched the saddle bags, which I thought was impossible, slimmed down at least one size and have gotten rid of a lot of cellulite by sticking with the activities above. If I can do it, you definitely can!
And remember, consistency is KEY.
