65% of mums are NOT a fan of their thighs – many revealing they wish they had Jessica Alba’s booty!

While we often hear about women feeling dissatisfied with their own body image, it seems the area a lot would like to work on is their thighs and butts.

In light of our March 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge – which includes exercises that target butts and thighs, we surveyed over 1,000 mums to find out how they felt about these areas of their body.

It turns out that 65 percent revealed they are NOT a fan of their thighs. Meanwhile, 45 per cent of these women also admitted to not being fans of their bottoms either.

Sadly, 53 per cent of mums reveal they wear clothes to either cover up or flatter the lower half of their body if they can, and 47 per cent of mums surveyed say this is because they have cellulite over their butts and thighs.

When asked if they squat to help tone these areas of their body, 20 per cent said never, 22 per cent said once a week, 20 per cent said twice a week and only nine per cent said everyday.

When it comes to their preferred celebrity’s booty and thighs, 36 per cent of mums said they admire Jessica Alba’s body, 18 per cent like Beyonce’s lower half, 14 per cent look to Miranda Kerr, 11 per cent Kylie Minogue and only three per cent like Kim Kardashian’s.

However, 57 per cent of mums believe celebrities set an unrealistic expectation for women and their bodies, with 23 per cent saying they’re not sure whether these stars have real bodies or have had work done.
