What are some good exercise to tone the legs without building up a lot of muscle?

Answer by  Doomstoned (1454)

To tone the legs without increasing too much muscle mass you might consider using some of your gym's cardio equipment such as the eliptical machine, treadmill, recline bike, and so on. However, you can still perform weightlifting exercises like squats, leg raises, and hamstring curls with low weight/high reps.

Squats, lunges and leg lifts are all great exercises to tone your legs. It is best to use no weight or light weights if you only want to tone up.
