No particular exercise is going to make your BF specifically come off of your legs.0 -

Love the stairmaster.0

I like the step mill at a moderate pace for 30 minutes. I don't go too hard to elevate my heart rate but enough to get a sweat and keep it in the fat burning stage. Then I'll go do weights with whatever body part I'm working. If I want to mix it up I'll incorporate intervals with my weights workout and do burpies, skipping, jumping lunges etc. in between but since my gym is so busy it's hard to demand a piece of equipment for that long.0

I heard that distance running consumes muscles. I also heard that using weights makes you bulky.0 -

Well definedi muscles0

In most cases, that requires some sort of resistance training to go along with your cardio exercise (no matter what it is).
Not to mention that you need to properly be logging in a deficit.0 -

Im not a cardio class type of girl lol0

muscles will look defined when the surrounding body fat is reduced.
body fat is reduced by eating at a deficit.
muscles are emphasized by strength training.
cardio is great for helping create a deficit
strength/weight training is great for strengthening muscles
but muscles don't really gain much in size if you're at a significant deficit.
so - if you want ripped legs... reduce body fat all over by eating at a deficit, and incorporate strength training.
EDIT: you cannot spot reduce body fat, it will come off where it will come off. I tend to lose fat fist in my stomach and last in my legs... therefore I have ripped abs and blobs for legs. LOL. Depending on your goals, and how/where you lose fat, it may be difficult to achieve a specific look.0 -
I'd mix in yoga too...lots of leg work with yoga holding the poses isometrically and all those balance poses on one leg. Mixed in with weights, cardio and diet you'll get some nice sexy defined legs.0

Walking on an incline, either on a treadmill or outside on hills, gives good results.0

Passed a woman who finishes ultramarathons this morning. It said so on her shirt. Her legs were pretty ripped. Especially her calves, and you know how hard it is to work calves!
I say, run ultras.0 -

Lower your body fat% and you will see the definition in your muscles.
you can do strength training and add all the muscle you want but as long as they are covered in body fat you will not see definition.
