| Excuse me but I dont think anything is going to help me... I just read that this is all part of your family genetics and crap like that so no matter how much I run, sweat and try nothing is going to change, they will maybe get even bigger... Well pretty sad but whatever am I going to do? nah I think I will live with it and besides I tried all the excersizes belove and nothing has even changed me in 2 weeks and I havent noticed any changes at all in one month in fact I have gotten bigger from the excersizes that are supposed to slim your legs down.......................................

i usually run/jog in the least 1 mile 3 times a week, before/after volleyball practice.
|
|
|
|
| do leg lifts,and 90 degree proposal-like knee bends, and squats

| have u ever tried leg squeezes. im not sure if they're really called that but you lay flat on ur back with ur legs in the air and squeeze ur thighs together while changing which foot is in front. we do these for dance all the time and they make ur inner thighs tight.

My legs are just gigantic and its freaking me out.. my thights are the biggest they are always making me feel embarassed of myself but how do I get rid of them being so big and bulky or is it genetics or something that is making them so big? that is just too scary and sad if it is genetics then im screwed...

Hey. Try pilates, it stretches your muscles so they're not bulky, plus it's not especially difficult and improves flexibility. There probably won't be results till maybe after a week- gotta do it continuously, just like other exercises.
Good luck :)

One I always liek to do it out yourself on a wall ( face the wall ) and squite down to a 90 degree angel with your toes up ( so on your tippy toes ) ( With shoes as well ) then lift back up with your legs, and THATS IT!!!
IT Really tones up your legs, and gets those legs slimmer!

hiya yh...i have not tried this yet but if you follow this it should work
1) lay on your side.
2) lift your knee that is facing the ceiling and then slowly put it down.
3) repeat 20 times.
thats for your hips.
if you try this you can tell me if it works lol!!
i have other exercises which tone your hips on my SparkTeam. if you look on my page it is the how to tone up in 2 weeks.
well hope it works. byebye and good luck

hiya, skipping rope im sure will help tone the calfs of your legs.
i suppose it is just like rowing, which makes your legs get toned.
well anyways...good luck

Like I said, you can't pick where you want the weight to come off, so I'd just recommend finding exercises that you enjoy- cardio exercise (running, swimming, biking, etc) 3 days a week would be a great start!

Z,
Most females don't have the hormones that males to to really "bulk" you up. So you should be totally fine to run- that's going to help you get more fit and increase the strength in your legs without making them bulky.
Hope that helps,
Coach Jen

| I used to be a gymnast and have really strong legs. I kinda like how they have that toned look but my thighs are so bulky almost like a guys i think. Is there a way to tone that down because it seems if i do something like running it would just bulk them up more. I need help i don't know wat to do
|

Hey Audrey!
I personally have the same problem but i suggest doing some cardio such as: running, cycling etc. That will help to burn the fat off...then do some excercises that focus of the top part of your legs! it will tone them and increase the muscle strength! making your legs slimmer and more toned. hope this helps!

Charlotte,
For strength training, there are some good exercise demos in the Fitness Resource Center. (Click that link and they are at the top of the page.) You can break your workout up into smaller segments throughout the day if you don't have a lot of time, so maybe you could do a few 10 minute walks each day to get the exercise you need.
Hope that helps!
Coach Jen

Hi Andrey
There's no way to pick specfic parts of your body where you want to lose weight. Your body kind of decides for itself where it wants to put on weight and take it off. But if you're not exercising now, I'd recommend starting to exercise 3 days a week or so. That's going to help you get stronger, more fit, and tone your muscles.
Hope that helps! If you have more questions, let me know.
Coach Jen

| Try jumping on the trampoline a lot or stretching your legs. Power walking/race walking is helpful too.
