If God gave you naturally large thighs listen up

Options
I found out the key for myself to get the nice muscular lean legs that I've always wanted. I am a mesomorph and I develop leg muscles very quickly, but my upper body is very weak.

I learned to do absolutely no leg exercises and now my legs look awesome. My legs always looked fat to me. I tried the lunges, squats, etc. and my legs would just look fatter. A personal trainer told me to stop and just get my leg workouts from jogging, elliptical, etc. I did it and now my thighs are 20 inches and I can fit into my jeans. I love it!

Just throwing this out there for women who have genetically enhanced legs.

    I have the same thick thigh/butt issue, but I want to tone them AND take fat off, instead of just having them look skinny. Has your cardio done that for you?

    Wondering the same thing! I have been running for about a year, but have continued my leg weights and my thighs and butt have gotten bigger! :sad:

    I have big thighs, too, but I'd rather have the strength from squats and lunges than skinny legs :) Just personal preference I guess.

    I have always had very large leg muscles (both thighs and calves) so I will remember this! I really don't need them to get any bigger than they already are...

    Leg muscles are used for running and other cardio. In fact, there aren't a lot of cardio exercises that don't use your legs. Muscles do not atrophe while in use.

    I certainly did inherit my naturally round behind and thighs. My fiance and I love my butt though and never ever ever want it to go away (though tighter would be okay!). I have always wanted trimmer thighs, but I don't want to lose all of the strength I have built up from years of dance training and now strength training, so I'll keep my squats and lunges, thank you very much.

    Im gonna go ahead and ignore all that advice and keep squatting heavy. If you have a weak upper body, why would you also want a weak lower body?

    I think I am unusual in that I love having thicker thighs.

    I think that as long as they are muscle and don;t have cellulite that think thighs with a small waist and flat stomach looks amazing. It'w what I am aiming for!

    I have thick thighs (21.5) and big calves (14.5) and I want them to look like Erin Sterns in this picture. My calves are already pretty good looking but I need to work on my thighs.

    But if her giant, muscle laden legs have gotten smaller, the only logical answer is muscle atrophy. Of course she didn't just slim down and lose fat. They were solid muscle. No fat in there. :huh:

    I have genetically big legs (and a booty).
    I do the elliptical for 30-60 minutes a day with a high resistence and then I squat heavy. They may get a little bigger from the lifting but they will look toned and great in shorts!
    Plus, your leg muscles are the biggest muscles in your body, therefore, they burn the most!

    Your trainer did you a disservice, IMO
