How can I tone my legs?

Question

I'm not happy with the look of my legs. I'm not fat, but my legs are a little "flabby", especially around my thighs. I have zero definition there at all. My goal isn't to have big bulging muscular legs, but I would like to lose whatever fat is there, and get some better muscle tone and definition, again especially in my thighs. What would you suggest I do to achieve this? Will simply running 4 or 5 times a week do the trick? Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

running will help you build muscle tone in your legs and it will give you the benefit of an overall, leaner, toned physique.

4-5 times a week can get you injured so before you start you should do some research about running and get a training plan set up for yourself.

you need the right shoes too.  to get those, go to a store that specializes in running and have someone watch how you run on a treadmill so they can talk with you about your running form.

Answer 2

run twice a week

Answer 3

Runniing will certainly help, but walking will also. Add a little resistance work and it will improve!

BUT remember, genetics does play a part. (;

You can't play center for an NBA team if your bio parents and genetics have your genetic family at 5'2". Be reasonable is all this means.

Answer 4

100 yard lunges with dumbells You can carry ... 4 sets ! It works out the WHOLE lower body plus  the core !

Answer 5

I have found that running helps a lot with that.

If you have access to a gym the cardio machine does wonders for leg toning.

Answer 6

Walking, running, swimming, leg extensions, and squats/squat thrusts are all good for toning your thighs. I personally think swimming is the most fun :)  

Answer 7
