There's actually good research to show that if you carry your weight this way you are less likely to suffer from heart disease that women who are more "apple" shaped.

I have very muscular legs. When I'm lean they don't really *look* that big but they are, I have a terrible time with pants like everyone else here. I also have the booty to match. DH calls the combo the "powerhouse of cycling". He's really funny, if I catch him looking at another women he'll often say something like... "wow, she's attractive. Too bad she doesn't have athletic legs like my wife."
