Thanks for the great responses to my question!!
Right now, I really seem out of proportion, having such broad shoulders
and straight hips. The trainer at my gym has suggested "Smith machine
squats" to bulk up the muscles that run along the sides of my thighs.
She has also suggested I build up my hamstrings to balance out my big
boobs. All my life I have dreamed of looking awesome in a pair of
tight-ass jeans!!! I do appreciate some of the good things about our
figure type, such as a killer pair of legs and curvy breasts. Right now
I'm TTC #1 and I'm hoping that pregnancy will cause me to gain a few hip
curves as well.
