Want slim thighs! Help!?

Just115Pounds

I really want to slim down my thighs significantly. I have played soccer for at least five or six years and my thighs are pretty muscular and bulky because of it.
I recently stopped playing soccer (for other reasons, not because of my thighs lol) and have been making up for lack of exercise by running on a treadmill.
What are some ways I can thin my thighs and run/burn fat without gaining the muscle? I have heard of long distance running at a slower speed, but I don't have the time to be running for long periods, especially throughout the week with school and such. Plus, it definitely gets boring to be running for 30+ minutes straight. I would say the max I would be up to running on the treadmill a day would be 30 minutes.
Thanks for your help!

Cut calories and maybe yoga? I'll let everyone else tell you that you can't spot reduce

I know I cannot spot reduce, but I don't want my exercise to make my thighs bigger. I'm not exactly asking for exercises that will make my thighs slimmer, I am asking for exercises that won't bulk up my thighs!
But thank you for your help and hopefully I cleared something up!

You thighs will not get significantly bigger while you are on a calorie deficit no matter the exercise you do. So eat at a calorie deficit and do which ever exercise you want.

Also, I notice you are 19. It's possible you are desiring a body type that is unrealistic for you and that your thighs really aren't that large, really didn't come from soccer but are just the way your body is genetically built. Big muscular thighs are good and healthy.
