What is the best way to lose fat on your legs and thighs and calves fir them to look smaller?
My friend is overweight and is trying to lose weight and she works out a lot. She runs, plays basketball, uses the bicycle and basically works out all day. Every other part of her body is losing weight except for her legs. She feels like her legs fat is turning into muscle and she hates it. She wants to know if she loses enough weight, it will automatically go away and what exercises she should do to lose it.

Everyone loses weight differently. Her legs probably will be the last place to lose the weight. You say she’s working out a lot. What kind of rigor? Can she run 3 miles straight?
If she want to lose weight she needs to consume less calories than she burns, work out 3 – 4 times a week and lift weights. 12 – 15 reps for lean muscles.
For making sure you’re running correctly, I always advise that you time yourself for 3 miles, on each mile. Reduce each mile by 30 seconds and work at that.
Also, eat lots of protein and good carbs. Cut back on sweets. You can still eat them, but you need to use moderation.
