What exercise should I do to firm up my legs?

Posted on December 31, 2009 by admin

I need to make my thighs and calves thinner. What should I do and how many times a day? I’m 15, by the way.

Stretching will make the muscles look longer and leaner. A good one for the calves is to stand on your tippy toes and hold it, then put your feet back on the floor. Thighs are much harder to make look thinner, but running and biking help me a lot. I try to do all the stuff ballerinas do, because think about it, have you seen many ballerinas with big looking legs?

    too much exercise will make rhem bulkier! Try squats, lunges, cycling, swimming, stepping (up and down stairs) or a trampoline.

    great question! Im 30 something and still have no solution! lol
    I hear Pilates is a great way to make lean muscle without bulking up. I dont recommend running or squats if you want them leaner, it will make them more muscular. Swimming is a great excersize for thighs!
    check this out though. This is a great source for toning.

    Wall sits(leaning against a wall with your back, knees bent like in a sitting position). Hold each for at least 30 seconds. Stair climber. Do it at least once every day.

    firstly if you want to loose size u should do high reps and keep doing it…i would say squats..with no weights,,jumping squats(in propper form your knees should never go in front of your feet….umm running (along the beach hits the calvs better) riding…the more you do the better
