Running is a good way to tone your body!! As are sit-ups and push-ups!! Weighlifting will tone your body very well. Yes, it will increase the size of your thighs and butt but not really noticably. You'll notice it because you'll feel it, but not too many people will notice the size difference but the tone difference.

Heres the thing: : lifting heavier weights will make you gain muscle weight. If you lift lighter weights and do less repetitiions with less time in between sets, thats how you tone up. By lifting heavier weights, doing more repitions, and taking longer breaks after sets, thats how you gain muscle weight.

All exercises will make you gain muscle but they also will get rid of the fat. Try yoga. It will tone all of your body without a really tough workout. It also won't make you look all bulky because of the extra muscle. it will just do the trick.

OF COURSE RUNNING!!! runing helps your calves...thighs...and most of all shins and upper legs

when you build muscle, you burn fat...so the fat will disappear and you will gain muscle...so then your legs look a lot better and toned...big legs arent bad (if they're muscle) i have muscular legs and guys tell me all the time how hot they are...so work on them and if they do get muscular, look at it as a plus:-)

No, no, no!! Muscle takes up less room than fat! You need to do cardio to get rid of the fat which takes up a lot more room than muscle and build your muscles which will make you burn more calories during the day.
