The Lower-Body Trouble Spot Makeover

When was the last time you heard a woman say, "I love my butt!" or boast that her thighs were her favorite body part? We thought so. Well, we helped these four women reshape their lower-body trouble zones with an individualized 12-week training program and the advice of New York City-based nutritionist Lisa R. Young, PhD, RD.

Her tips included eating a low-fat, low-sodium diet, getting enough protein, and snacking on fruits and veggies while watching portion sizes. Our subjects combined a healthier diet with muscle-sculpting strength moves and fat-blasting cardio to attack everything from saddlebags to cellulite.

They kept a log to record their experiences, and the results were impressive. Here's how they lost inches, shed fat, and got a new perspective on their lower halves.
