    Thin my thighs

      OP I also have muscular legs, I'd like them to be thinner but I also know they aren't going to be super thin. I'm built with bigger legs; I'll always be a pear shape. I'd suggest yoga and cardio but weight training also. There isn't one instant fix. Personally, I try to just be happy with my progress thus far and keep going.

      I am generally curious as to how and why people are saying that yoga is going to slim out thighs???????

      @amgerbin I loved, loved, loved your reply... On my first post to myfitnesspal I mentioned I wanted to get toned, and I got a lecture on how muscles can't be toned. I'm just a novice to the world of exercise and all I am looking for is what has work for other too. Thanks for the common sense.



      Sheesh, me, too! I said "toned" and got a bunch of condescending, negative comments that made me feel awful. I don't know why some people on here turn everything into a negative argument. You just have to skip those posts and focus on the ones that are helpful.

      so posts that share the actual science of fitness and nutrition are not helpful?

      Just because responses aren't slathered in sugar does not make them unhelpful or make people mean. Most of the time, the reason you get straighforward responses is because the question has been asked 4390532890749032849 times in these forums. If you are discredited by someone with actual, factual data well, then you are wrong.

      OP, I don't see horribly bulky legs in your PP, but if you're worried about them being bulky, don't work them.

      I mean, the only way to lose muscle and size is lose weight until to comes off your legs. That might not be a wise course.

      Without seeing pictures of you, it's hard to really give you advice.

      Have you been to a yoga class? The word "lengthen" is said no less than 30 times. :D

      I rest my case.

      Somehow I didn't take her post to mean she was claiming the people that won't listen to explanations of how things actually work are the negative ones, so...

      Most of what gets said in a yoga class gets drown out by my internal monologue to myself of "don't call it downward facing doggy-style, don't call it downward facing doggy-style, don't..."

      I'm sorry you let internet responses make you feel awful. I learned a lot by lurking the forums so that I could avoid the experience you had. Still, people who give it straight are not wrong.

      Wow she didn't say anything wrong at all. Just pointing out how much misinformation is out there and that it gets annoying seeing it every day and when you correct it you are called mean because you want to actually help the person instead of just blindly supporting their misinformation.

      I suppose you believe that we should just go along with your misinformation instead of giving you correct information?

      If you rest your case based upon that, I'm wondering exactly what your point is. Nothing in the posts here was negative and if you "feel awful" based on the injection of fact into the discussion ... well, that is on you. The posts filled with fact and science are the actual helpful ones. The blindly enabling posts and those filled with what is at best pseudoscience are not.
