I run a lot, but my legs still have so much flub on them! Why hasn't the muscle fully emerged itself yet? Are some people just doomed to be soft??? Any advice (or support)??? :sad:

I feel your pain. I caught a glimpse of myself in a store window as I was jogging past (b/c we all look at our form and critique as we go by) and I was shocked at how jiggly the legs were looking. I can offer no advice as I am a jiggle monster as of now. Maybe some weight training for your legs. Or maybe the pole class will help carve your legs into high-kicking sizzle monsters. Don't give up!0

Do you do any other leg exercises? Lunges, squats, etc?
I've always had a bit of jiggle, until lately. In addition to running, I do the EA Sports Active 2 workouts, and assorted videos through netflix streaming. I hate, hate, HATE lunges and squats, but they did good things to me.0 -
I actually don't do anything else for my legs.
I will give 30 Day Shred another go around. Maybe thats all I need to tone them up.
I totally look at my reflection whenever I get a chance! I watch my shadow a lot, too. I hate my shadow though, she looks lazy and slow. "HEY SHADOW! Why don't you pick up the pace you lazy reflection of me!"0 -
add strength training to your work outs. Lifting weights will really tone you up. You also need to increase protein intake to help build those new muscles
you cannot tone a muscle only make it bigger or smaller.
