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!

    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.

    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!"

    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.
