Timarie and Ever Hopeful... Just had to comment on the subject at hand here haha, I know a little about fitness, though I'm not in the shape I want to be just yet, working on it, I use to do fitness modeling before I had my son. Ever Hopeful, Timarie is right, working out with weights will not get you like Ms Olympia. Those ladies take special supplements, workout intensely for hours on end DAILY. Some of them do steroids to get that type of body. A normal female that works out say 30 min to an hour a day and takes a day or two break weekly will not look that way no matter how long she's been working out. I weight train, and even though I'm "fat" now compared to what I was, and most of my weight goes to the lower region as I'm a pear, my butt is still round, perky, firm, because I do a lot of weight training for the butt. So I have fat there but it's held up by the muscle. When I flex my butt muscles my butt will become hard as hell. My thigh muscles are the same way. I have always been able to build muscle easily on the lower part of my body and have a difficult time with arms and chest.

So yea, if you do weight training say 3-5 times a week for 30 min to an hour, you will be fine, you will end up looking like this at best...





And your butt, something like this, but for pear girls it will be bigger...



Here's a before and after of a girl who weight trains but doesn't use steroids would look like...



So in order to look like this, you have to use steroids...



even like this, this lady is juicing...



When I was in the best shape of my life, my tummy, hips, etc looked like this, minus the boobs



and that was strictly cardio and weight training, I would eat a high protein diet and take supplements, but never steroids. So no worries you can work out to your hearts content and not look like Ms Olympia, unless you start steroids.

But I'm with both of you girls, I'm working on getting back into shape, you can see my starting pics on my picture page, I'm ashamed I let myself get this fat though :/ but glad to see I'm not the only one aiming to get in shape on here, yay!
