Well, one of the things you can do is start running that will slim out your legs. Also you can do squats and get on a stationary bike or if you have a real bike you can do that. I am sure that will help out too. I would also see your doctor before starting any exercise problem.

Really the only way would probably be to do exercises for this problem area. Usually when you try to lose weight you lose it all over. Activities like walking, bike riding and jogging will slim your legs down.

Concentrate on exercises specifically targeted for the legs. Walking is the best exercise and it won't be too strenuous on the knees. Start out slow, for example The first couple of weeks walk a mile a day, then gradually build up to 3-5 miles a day. You will notice toning of the legs.

Exercise. Your legs are one of the larger muscle groups. You should do lunges, leg lifts, and any type of walking or running is good. Be sure to always do your stretches before and after every exercise session and always consult your physician before starting any kind of exercise routine.

If you work out often you may be doing to heavy and strenuous workouts for your legs. Or if you hike, bike, or swim often. You want to focus less on your legs and use non-inclining cardiovascular training to burn any fat. Also eating less protein can help, but do not replace it with fats.

There is no way to specifically spot reduce the size of your legs, but if you combine diet and exercise, it is possible to make your legs appear slimmer. Running and biking are great ways to combine toning of the leg muscles with cardiovascular exercise. Yoga and Pilates also help build the long, lean muscle you want for your legs.

This is a difficult thing to achieve. The best way to do it is through proper exercise and diet. The exercise should not be muscle building, but muscle conditioning to tighten the leg muscles.

To slim and tone one's legs, exercise is required. In order to lose the weight from the legs, one must start with a cardio work out such as running or jump roping. Once the desired weight is lost, one must tone the muscle. Pilates is a great way of doing this.
