Managing Saddle Bags

The first thing you I recommend you try is an 1 hour to 1.5 hour bicycle ride either using a mountain bike or a stationary unit. Make sure that your heart rate is relatively high but be just enough that you don’t exhaust yourself before the set time. What happens here is that after 20 minutes the carbohydrates stored at the muscles are used up and the body has to draw more energy from other sources, and since the exercise isn’t particularly exertive, the body will choose to burn fat rather than muscle. The extra time will mean there is a slow burn of the fat and fat will be drawn from the largest deposit, meaning the thighs or the saddlebags.

I personally don’t believe in creams, as all they do it tighten the muscles however after 1 or 2 days the skin will loosen up again and you’re left back at the drawing board. Alternatively, the best way to permanently tighten skin is to actually get some sun and salt! If you aren’t too self conscious, a trip to the beach will do your skin good in tightening it.

Additionally, there is also great benefit in drinking more plain water What happens is that if you consume a lot of water, the body get used to the situation where water is always readily available thus it reduces water retention which will also help in making your saddle bags smaller.

Having explained all this, I would like to say that although you may think that your saddlebags are big, some people may actually like it, its just a matter of human preferences, so before you go about trying to loose the assets, you should consider if they actually do you more good being there than not.
