chubby legs, calves...thighs

[sallycroc]

My legs are chunky, flabby knees, big thighs...

I've just started walking at least an hour a day and eating well. Any specific exercises to tone those legs?

Thanks

I have big thighs too. But exercises just make them bigger and muscly, thats just the way my body is, they arent fat.

I am having the same problems bit my massive chunky legs just can't seem to shift it!

JJ will give you some tips.

Don't bother, summer's nearly over (well we do live in the UK), before you know it you'll be back to jeans and sweatpants, thus covering up thunder thighs. Added bonus, you can also stop shaving your legs then too.

If you add yoga stretches to the toning exercise you will not get so much'blockiness' as there will be a degree of lengthenng as well as build up

Lengthening??

So you become taller?

Get away!!

rowan....would Yoga exercises "lengthen" mine as well?

Are they large because of fat or muscle ? If the latter then exercise may make them larger, although you could seek advice at the gym on trying to contour rather than grow them. If the former, and "flabby" suggests it is, well dieting doesn't get directed to the area you wish to reduce. Can only look at the whole of you and find the best weight compromise. Sometimes accepting yourself for who you are is the best course of action. Chunky legs look better than bony skeletal ones anyway.
