I have no access to a gym and is planning to do 30minutes of stairs up and down every morning, and the rest of the day there will be some slow walking.. Do yall think the stairs will make me have bulky legs? Should I not do it daily? I could do slow jogs too but in the morning it is scorching and I don't wanna get tanned... Or is 30minutes of stairs too little to bulk me up? I'm looking to look lean, because I have a big bone structure I cannot afford to bulk up too much... I walk up and down the stairs for 30minutes, not run!

Don't really have the space or tools to do indoor workouts because I have roommates and little space!

    I wish I could increase the size of my leg muscles just by running up and down stairs

    You can do barbell squats and deadlifts with very heavy weights 3 reps to failure and your legs won't bulk up. So don't even worry about that. Women don't have enough testosterone to bulk up. even eating at a surplus (i.e. eating more than you burn to gain weight) and training very heavy only results in the muscles growing very slowly. Even with men it takes a LOT of training and eating at a surplus to look bulky.

    It's fat that can make a woman look bulky, not muscle.

    I have a large frame too, I have a lot of lean body mass for my height, and I don't look bulky. And I lift heavy barbells, 3-8 reps to failure kind of heavy.

    Bulky :huh: with climbing stairs? No, I don't think that will be an issue. ^^This.

    I personally like the fit look that comes with muscle definition.

    ^^agree with the above.

    Bulky legs = legs with fat on them

    Stair climbing will not come anywhere close to making them bulky.

    Thanks guys :)

    I guess I just have to accept that my body is structured bottom heavy and just focus on getting my daily morning exercise and eating right and hopefully shed my binge weight soon!!

    That being said, I hope the Sun will be shy tomorrow morning so I can go for a run ):
