A member asked:

Can there be anything i can do besides diet and exercise to reduce muscular thighs and butt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inactivity will: Reduce muscle, but that's not healthy. Very few people complain about too much muscle, rather it's too much fat. Diet and exercise are the two main ways to control both fat and muscle.
