How to prevent large thigh muscles?
15f, So i cycle about 10 miles every day, and recently i have noticed my thigh muscle is a bit bigger and is sort of rectangular in shape (sort of). I really hate the way this looks and was wondering if there was any way to slim down this muscle?

I have some suggestions that could perhaps work. One is to look up exercises on how to tone your thighs. Another is that you should try to work out the other muscles in your thigh that are not being used as much. This might allow your thigh to have a rounder shape rather than square. In addition, you might want to look up different modifications to help target different muscles.

I do not have a real answer to your question, though I can tell you what is happening.
By cycling 10 miles every day you are trading fat for muscle, this is why your thigh is changing shape. You may also notice a slight increase in your weight especially if you have increased you calorie intake to compensate for you're exercise. The reason for this is muscle weighs more than fat does.
Before you started cycling your thigh was as much fat as it was muscle. When you started to cycle you started to exchange fat for muscle and tone the muscle for that exercise.
I would suggest that since I believe school is still in session that you talk with one of the physical education instructors about a way to tone and shape the muscle so it does not appear as heavy or shapes as you say it appears.
