Hi Taylor, I’ve battled with thunder thighs for awhile,(my legs were BIG from my pregnancy) and I do plie squats with weights, move to hamstring curls, and do lunges last, combined with cardio of your choice. The upper body workout we get from our beloved pole definitely helps with balancing out the pear shape we can get. If you engage those glute muscles during a squat and a lunge you’ll really target the muscle.
