Posting for my sister

Has your sister encountered scooby's website?

Ask your sister what she wants - something concrete because what you just wrote now is very general.  


i. if you could persuade her to eat clean and at maintance, this will be easy.
ii. the method would be to teach her hiit.  either tabata protocol whereby she does 2-5 minutes of briskwalking, 20 seconds of sprint : 10 second rest for 8 sets, and 2 minutes briskwalking cool down; or 2-5 minute briskwalking warmup, 5-8 sets of 10-15 seconds sprints with rest up to the point she's able to recover.  The latter is something me and my sister did.  We were both out of breathe and it was fun.

yeah but you know because of her build and because she is short, her large thighs don't look very well, she looks overweight, sure she has fat on them, which she would lose, but she wouldn't much like to increase her muscle mass in the process you know
large thighs look good on a taller slimmer build but for her its not so.

her goal more specifically is to thin down as much as possible (while staying healthy of course), as in lose excess fat in a healthy manner, and limiting the amount of mass she would gain in her legs. (so stuff like squats are definitely out of the picture)
so yeah .. loose weight and regain what stamina she lost.

i told her if she loses the excess fat then she'd look okay.
her legs are very strong, back in the day nobody could beat her at the 50m sprint.

i was thinking of getting her to do cardio which also involves upper body as much as possible, since she doesn't gain muscle in her upper body as easy as in her legs, and even if she would add decent amount it would be beneficial to her look since she's not all that broad in upper body.

ps: she is fairly knowledgeable about the subject, and she knows a lot about nutrition all she needs is a good source to base her nutrition plan off of,

x2. Anyone who talks about and shows Jamie Eason tends to get people's attention  . Women (and men...) LOVE her.

I'll agree with what's already been said. With her stated goals:

Cardio and mild caloric reduction. For improving stamina; longer duration steady-state cardio (like running, biking, etc.) with some tabata mixed in for sanity. Lifting is never a bad idea, but this is one of those cases where she probably would want to avoid direct leg work (assuming there aren't any muscle imbalances causing knee / hip issues).

While many men carry most of their fat around the waist, many women carry most of it in their thighs. Individuals vary a lot of course, but even if she has lots of muscle dropping a few % in body fat should still make her thighs smaller.
