Body fat problem........

I have decided to join up with a gym to start getting my body into better shape. I have a unique and quite embarassing problem. My upper body is muscular but my lower body is just full of fat. This just makes the rest of my body look fat. All the fat on my body is stored on my butt and on my outer and inner thighs. I thought only older women had this problem, but no.......me as well.

What can I do to fix this?

Should I just run a lot and use the stair climbing machine? The gym has a track upstairs and I know I can run about 2 miles.

Help would be appreciated.

BTW, is 3-4 days a week at the gym going to be enough?
 
Kinda like that guy on Ren and Stimpy where all of this fat was confined to the lower half of his body - then he had the fat injected into other parts of his body to look like muscles 😛 IIRC, Ren injected Stimpy's fat into himself to make him sexier 😛 Yea, it worked - VA VA VOOM 😛
 
Cardio is the key. Runing, biking, and stair climber are all good. Do weight training on each muscle group once a week and cardio at least 3-4 times a week and you should be in good shape. Oh ya, eat right too.
 
You can't spot-reduce fat. You may be genetically predisposed to accumulate fat on your lower half first (in a calorie surplus) and to burn fat from your upper half first (in a calorie deficit). If you lower your bodyfat percentage enough, you will lose the lower body fat, but you cannot change your genetics. Lifting weights, basic cardio, and a modified diet will do the trick every time.
 
make sure you lift before you run, so when you run you burn more fat because weightlifting uses up yout gluouse stores. and also by weight lifting do everymuslce goupe. chest, bis, tris, back, hams, quads, calves, stomach. you have to do all or else you will be disportionate. and doing legs gives you alot of muslce(because you have to cover the entire leg) and the more muslce the fat you burn. So hit the weights and then the treadmill. good luck

You can't really spot reduce, so just don't focus exclusively on the legs. You need to lose fat all over your body. That said, you can certainly tone your legs up, but like i said, just don't go overboard.

Cardio would be what you should be doing though, with some moderate weight training if you can.
