Ive got a li'l problem, im a fairly skinny person upperbody wise and the exact opposite in the lowerbody, it seems that my thighs store the most fat as well as some on my glutes, my calves are small and dont store a significant amount of fat, just the thighs n glutes.
Is there a way of isolating fat loss towards my thighs? I mean so that i lose fat overall but mostly from my thighs?
I started to do HIIT on the exercycle as well as fast-repped-lightweight squats thinking that doing that will target the thighs but im somewhat doubting this.
Can anyone clarify for me please ?
cheers

You can't spot burn fat unfortunately. Just keep working hard and eating properly. Eventually you will lose the fat in that area, but it's going to come off somewhat evenly all over your body.
When in doubt......lift more!!

You can't pick a spot and reduce the fats.

I see, thanks for the replies guys.
This brings me to some other questions:
Should i continue doing high volume fast-reps in my exercises? eg. does this count as a fat loss method or is doing HIIT enough?
Will i be losing, maintaining or gaining muscle whilst im on an intake deficit?(i know this one is asked alot but ive never heard a good answer)
cheers

I am only above to answer your 2nd question. According to some books, you either choose to lose fats (calorie deficit) or gain muscle (calorie overload). It is not possible to do both at the same time.Originally Posted by pathos86
