I'm not sure what saddlebags are, but what formed my abs to me good is a short routine i do everyday. i made up my own names for these workouts cause i'm uneducated in the area.

Do crunches, one with your knees bent as close in as possigle, then half way, then legs all the way. This targets portions of abs.

Leg raises for lower abs, this is usually the most neglected part.

Lie down on your side and do a sideways sit up focusing on your side muscle.

Do the thing where you have your legs up and knees bent and you have your hands behind your head (not supporting but for positioning). and then touch your elbow to the knee of the opposite side (left elbow to right knee). doing this you will sit up a little and twist your upper body.

Mix it up when you do these. I do not build mass with this i just defined my abs. I do about 60 reps on each, with three sets.

Unfortunately some of us tend to store the bulk of our body fat in one or a few local areas, rather than evenly distributed over our bodies. Tha tmeans that even though you may have a moderate level of body fat, most of it is concentrated on your outter thighs. The only way to reduce this is to reduce your overall body fat level some more. This is best accomplished with a combination of aerobic exercise, weight training and diet.

Thanks Leandrofu, but saddlebags are a thigh area problem. And, actually, most of the exercises you mentioned for abs, I do in my ab routine too! And yeah, they work great.

Hey dswithers. I do mad cardio and weight training and I eat pretty sensibly. I guess in time it'll come off eventually. I was hoping there were exercises to at least help the process along.
