Frustrated - can anyone help?

[cakebaker]

Your body type sounds exactly like mine and it seemed like no matter what I did, I couldn't get my lower body to match my upper body... until I started running! Running was the ONLY thing that completely leaned out my lower body. This of course was still in addition to strength training, but I was only doing a full lower body workout once a week and then for my cardio I would run about 3 days a week and then do an additional source of cardio 2 additional days. My trainer suggested to do interval runs where I would run for 5 minutes, walk for 2 minutes, run for 5 minutes, walk for 2 minutes, etc. for 45 minutes total. This was the answer I had been looking for forever. I had never recieved results the way I did doing that. Good luck!

Spinning works, too, and is not a brutal on your joints.
