Pear plans to Pare down!

How can a Pear best pare down her lower body? My cardio plan has three major components:
1) Long cardio sessions
2) Interval aerobic exercise
3) Order of high-intensity intervals

Pear Paring Tip #1: Do aerobic exercise for a minimum of 45 minutes per day, for as many days per week as you can.
Intervals:
Is it better for you to do "steady-state" cardio at one constant speed, or should you shake it up with varying intensities? "Interval training--absolutely," says Olson. (In interval training, you alternate measured periods of high-intensity and lower-intensity exercise.) Olson explains that interval training typically burns more calories than steady-state cardio does. "The total energy expenditure is the most important thing. As a Pear is working out, her body is going to want to draw fatty acids from her upper body to begin with. You need to get your body over that hump to where it says, Okay, I've used a lot of fat here and I like to take it from the upper body, but now I'm going to have to turn to this other fat storage site. And that is really just dependent on total calories expended," she says.

okay, then...
