Cammie answered Saturday July 17 2004, 3:04 pm: This is from a previous entry...but I DID change it around a bit! :)
Try jump rope, pilates, yoga, swimming, hiking, running/jogging, kickboxing, skiing, dancing, cycling, martial arts (also great for a WHOLE body work out) or just do regular exercises that tone and work your legs!
Just a few regular exercises:
Side Kick: Stand with fists near chin, left leg forward, knee slightyly bent, right foot turned out a little. Bring right knee high, then extend it to side, kicking through heel. Then return to start. (They use a lot of different kicks in martial arts.)
Stair Lift: Sit on second step of staircase, right shoulder pointed upstairs (knee bent, foot on first step, elbow on third), left leg straight, foot on floor. Lift leg high as you can. Then lower.
Scissors Beat: Lie on back, legs straight over hips, hands on floor at sides, palms down. Flex feet, turn toes out and open legs to each side as far as you can (don't arch back!). Exhale and squeeze legs together, crossing left leg over right. Repeat, crossing right leg over left.
Lower-leg Rock: Stand with knees slightly bent, feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbell in each hand. Slowly life heels, rolling onto toes (but not tiptoes). Lower. Shift weight onto heels and life toes off floor to complete.
Ball Squat: Stand with feet hip0width apart, holding small ball between thighs. Slowly squat (keep knees over feet!), lifting arms in front to shoulder height and squeezing ball with thighs. Pause, and return to start.
Remember, the trick to good legs is sculpting. :)
If you want streamlined legs of a dancer, but not the bulk of any speed skater-- those exercises'll help ya! I hope I helped you. Please rate me!

BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Friday July 16 2004, 3:58 pm: I'm not just answering this because I want to get rated... I just like helping people out lol.
*Try running and walking (Make you sure you bring water) and go swimming and swim laps, sit on a chair or something and put weights on your legs and lift your legs up, go up against the wall and pretend like your sitting and hold it there, try jump roping, and just stuff like that, that would require leg work. Hope this helps!! And good luck!! =D
iLjaG answered Friday July 16 2004, 2:35 pm: If you would like to tone up your legs, and not build up muscle in it, go running. Running is great for that sort of weight loss. [ iLjaG's advice column | Ask iLjaG A Question ]

MFS answered Friday July 16 2004, 2:15 pm: doing exercizes that isolate the leg muscles is always a good bet - but in reality, you have only limited control over where your body decides to lose weight. I've known people who were so obsessed with getting "smaller legs" that they worked out so much, their leg muscles got huge - larger than they were before - but with no excess fat. So, take that as you will - just something to keep in mind. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
ShOrTnSwEeT42094 answered Friday July 16 2004, 2:01 pm: Running is great for that!!!Also a stationary bike is great.Treadmills and stationary bikes are really great for that,but don't let yourself get dehydrated,drink lots and lots of water.Being dehydrated can actually have the opposite affect,by making you really sick!!!!

accolade answered Friday July 16 2004, 1:45 pm: i can't remeber what these are called... leg lifts or somethings.
Lay on your side, legs on top of each other, and raise the top one up and down (you'll have to do it a lot.... like 65 times or something) but when you bring your leg back down everytime, don't let it touch the other leg.... don't give it any rest.
then switch over to the other side and do that leg. when you can feel the "stinging pain of excersize" start doin it more slowly...
this is meant for excersizing your inner thighs.
