big legs
Compared to everyone else, I have big legs. They aren't fat or anything, I just want to slim them down and tone the muscle. Any ideas?

Four Simple Slim-Down Moves
1. Doorknob Squats
Targets: butt, quads, hamstrings
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Stand facing the narrow edge of an open door, with your legs hip-distance apart and a footstool directly behind you. Holding your arms straight, grip one doorknob in each hand. To a slow count of 10, lower your body until it touches the stool (but don't sit down!). Pause, then raise yourself to a standing position to another slow count of 10. Repeat until the time is up.
2. Side-Lying Leg Lifts
Targets: butt, outer thighs
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Lie on your right side, with your legs straight and your head propped up in your right hand. Bend your right leg at the knee and place your left hand on the floor in front of you for support. To a slow count of 10, lift your left leg 80 degrees off the floor. Pause and squeeze your hip and butt muscles before lowering to another slow count of 10. Repeat until the time is up, then switch sides for another 100 seconds.
3. Single-Leg Curls
Targets: hamstrings, calves
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Secure a one-pound weight on one ankle, then stand with your feet together. Keep your arms straight and lean forward, placing both hands on a footstool 12 inches in front of you. To a slow count of 10, bend your weighted leg, raising your ankle to your butt. Pause, squeeze your hamstring and lower your leg. Repeat until the time is up, then switch sides.
4. Heel Raises
Target: calves
Set a timer to 100 seconds. Stand facing a wall, with your feet parallel and hip-distance apart. Place a rolled-up towel under the balls of your feet, then lock your arms and place the palms of your hands on the wall for support. To a slow count of 10, raise your heels off the floor so you are standing on your toes on the towel. Pause and squeeze the muscles in your calves, then lower to another slow count of 10. Repeat until the time is up.

This is what I do, lay down on your side and lift your leg half way up. I usually start hurting around about 40. Then, you lay on your other side and lift the other leg up. Make sure to keep your hands on the floor, and do not relax your head on your hands.

Try buying a work-out program and work out at home and see if ur legs tone down and you could also go to ur nearest gym and get some professional help there.

if you have time go to the gym and work them out other than that do a sport that helps them

Start riding a bike, jogging, walking, or running. Leg lifts will also help.

3. Ride your bike.
4. Do lunges on each leg.
5. Do squats and stretches.

Why do you compare yourself to everyone else? Everybody is different and unique.
Well, anyways, I would suggest going to the mall and walking around for a couple of hours to help tone your leg muscles. Muscle will make your legs appear bigger, though. It will also make you weigh more, since muscle weighs more than fat.

Go cyclinh every day, go runing if you don't like cyclong. Jus do anything that usesleg muscles and they'll soon be all toned and stuff.
Hope i helped,
