How can I trim my legs down?
I have recently started running and I do that about 4-5 days a week for 20 minutes which equals a little over 2 miles. Is this a good way to trim fat on my thighs? What would you recommend? 5 Answers (1 Video | 0 audios) 1235 Views 1 month ago

I agree with what everyone else has said. I do pilates 3 times a week and the pilates leg exercises have reshaped my thighs in the past month to make them leaner. Answered by fallena... 1 month ago Report Abuse

Yes and no. I assume you want lean legs. To do that you have to shed body fat. You can not spot reduce. So you need to have a nutritional program with a caloric reduction. You then want to build muscle which will help you to burn fat when your calories are down. You will not bulk up btw. Do a program with full body movements to work the whole body. I have had great success with www.turbulencetraining.com There is also P90X and The ABS Diet. Answered by larmer 1 month ago Report Abuse

Run...the more cardio in your case the better. Also, when you strength train the legs, worry about reps, not weight. Keep the weight low, the reps high and the legs should trim down significantly Answered by Stephen... 1 month ago Report Abuse

Another cardio exercise to do is the elliptical, this is not a weight bearing exercise so it won't really build your quads but will really get your heart rate up! Also, doing exercises for your butt (ex: butt blaster) or just by getting down on all fours (hands and knees) and kicking your legs back helps work your butt but also your quads and hamstrings. Doing exercises of abduction and adduction also helo your inner and outer thighs! Remember, to tone you want to focus on doing low weight but high reps.
