Asked By:valerielaurenn in Ohio, OH

I’m 27. 5’8 and I workout 4/5 days a week, I do heavy weightlifting and some cardio. My diet is very good. I think that I have fat above my knee, unfortunately I can not tone that area no matter what I do at the gym and I have always been so self conscious to the point that I will not show my legs. What are the options that I have for dealing with this so that I can show my legs? Thank you!
