Okay, well if you want to tone your legs, do target exercises or just run.
For your behind...
Alternating squats not only help with your buns but also with your thighs. How do you do them? Stand with feet shoulder width apart. From that position take, left foot back and squat down, coming back up with your "bun strength" Come back to the original standing position. Bring your right foot back and repeat. Continue like this at a faster pace. 2 reps of 8
Lay down on your back. Hands by your side [Or behind your head.] and bend your legs at the knee. [A basic crunch position] Now, lift your buns up and either do 2 reps of keeping it up there for 10 seconds or 2 reps of lifting up and down 8 times.
Get on your hands and knees and make sure your back is flat. Go down to your elbows from that position. Lift your right leg up, bent at a 90 degree angle at your knee. Bring it up high and down a little. 2 reps of 8. Switch sides.
Thighs....
Outer thighs:
Lay on one side with one elbow propping you up a bit and the other arm in front for balance. Legs should come in front slightly, straight out. Lift your top leg up and down slowly. 2 reps of 8. Switch sides and do the same.
Have a chair for balance. Lift your leg out and up while you're standing. Erm, bring your leg in and out? It's like the above exercise, except standing. 2 reps of 8. Switch sides.
Inner thighs:
Lay on one side with one elbow propping you up a bit and the other arm in front for balance. Legs should come in front slightly, straight out. From that position, either bring your top leg up high and grab it with your balancing hand or if you're not that flexible, simply bend it at the knee and place your feet on the ground behind your lower leg. From either position, bring your bottom leg up and down. 2 reps of 8
Lay on your back, bring your legs up to a 90 degree angle [If you're not that flexible, any angle will do] and make sure it's STRAIGHT. Now, make a 'V' shape with your legs and close them. Open them. Etc. 2 reps of 8.
--------------
The key to getting slim thighs is to be skinny in the first place. What I'm saying is that you can tone all you want and you will get toned thighs and butt but if you still have more fat than needed in those areas, it may come out looking a little thick and/or bulky. So exercise and tone but don't tone too much because a lot of muscle can cause the thick look as well.
So...skinny toned thighs and small toned butt = just the right combo of muscles and lack of fat.
