Nice legs
I've been trying to get nice legs for a month,and I admit taht my usual 1.5 hour a day jog is helping.
But now I'm getting worried that my calves are going to get like really big and muscular.
Is there anyway to make them smaller
Or just tone my upper theighs?
Thanks a ton.

1. Bent-Knee Extension
Targets hamstrings (back of thigh)
Lie faceup on floor with arms at sides, knees bent 90 degrees and heels shoulder-width apart on a stability ball. Lift hips toward the ceiling, being careful not to overarch back. Hold for 3 counts and lower. Repeat for 8 to 10 reps.
2. Seated Leg Raise
Targets quads (front of thigh)
Sit on floor with your back pressed into a wall, legs extended in front of you with feet flexed. Raise right leg off floor as high as you comfortably can, keeping foot flexed. Lower to floor without touching; do 20 continuous reps. Repeat with left leg.
3. Scissor Kick
Targets adductors (inner thigh)
Lie faceup on floor with arms at sides, palms down and legs extended. Lift legs about 45 degrees, pointing toes. Quickly open and close your legs, crossing the right thigh over the left and then reversing the movement. Continue scissoring legs; do 12 to 15 reps per side.
Man....I need to do this too!

Yes. Try cutting down on the running. I had the same problem! If you want to focus on toning your upper thighs, then perhaps wall sits? Sit up against a wall (as if you were sitting on a chair). Do this as long as you can. It burns, but after a while you get used to it. TRUST ME. It works :-). Good Luck.

that is definately a lot of running. try just doing half an hour of jogging each day. also if u dont overeat, your body wont have enough alories to crate more muscle and your calves wont get too big
