A. Saddlebags are just another name for cellulite, flabby butt, etc. Remember that there are no exercises you can do to target the fat around your butt, hips and thighs.

As I've mentioned before, you have to reduce overall body fat with diet and exercise. You CAN incorporate strength-training exercises for your legs to help strengthen your hips and butt. When you build muscle, you burn more fat all the time since muscle burns more calories than fat. Working your lower body with weights can help you in your quest. Check out the Top Ten Butt Exercises for some ideas.
