    Get a wheelchair. Yes. I'm serious, get a wheelchair.

    The less you use your legs, the more the muscles will atrophy. You have seen this with your own eyes.

    However, this is no overnight solution - - this will be a true lifestyle change for you.[1]

    Best of luck in your fitness goal.

    With love,
    Burt

    @Maria44024 - Then I guess it was a stupid question I asked! Since I didn't see a profile pic, I made an assumption. I guess that was sexist of me... I apologize. :embarassed:

    lol, doesn't bother me in the slightest. I automatically assumed it was a female too, then was surprised to see it was a 19 yr old male. One that either is trolling or has some serious body image/eating disorder issues.

    men shouldn't aspire to wear skinny jeans. they should have to struggle to find jeans that barely contain their thighs.

    Chicken legs on men are not cool! Build your upper body to match your lower.

    It's all genetics. Tone up your legs and get them nice and firm and strong. Unless you have some radical proceedure, you will probably always have bigger legs - might as well get them strong and looking good.

    Being fit > Being skinny

    I agree with the idea of building more upper-body muscle rather than focusing too much of making your legs "skinnier". Eat to fuel your body, don't view food as something evil.

    Hey now, it may not be what I personally seek in a man, but there are definitely styles and trends out there for very slim men and male skinny jeans, etc. I don't think its totally fair to assume OP is a troll based solely on the fact that its a man.

    However, OP, the panic in your post does seem to indicate that you have a very poor body image. If you are nearly skeletal on top then there is just NO WAY your legs are truly "fat" as you say they are. You might benefit from professional help to start seeing yourself more clearly, and you might benefit from strengthening the muscles of your legs to improve their overall look. Basic body weight moves- no machines necessary! Search for leg slimming workout on Youtube that you can do in your house. But consider trying to talk to someone about your body image. Good luck!

    Oh man! My boyfriend's roommate has a Sports Illustrated Calendar and there's this one girl whose hips have been photoshoped so much she looks like she's been made from rubber. It's so awful!!

    My problem is also my legs. It's irritating, because I have a similar situation where no matter what I do my legs won't change, but I want them to be toned and muscular, not skinny mini. However, since my lower body is my problematic area, it also means a fuller bandonkadonk and I can't say that I really mind that too much.

    This is simple OP

    You have to tie a rubber band around your waist, run, eat at a deficit, and do lower body exercises.

    True story. I was a pear at 100 pounds, and a pear at 175 pounds. Just went from a bony pear to a fat pear.

    Get some dark eyeshadow and carefully shade in few inches on the outside of either leg....voila, your legs will appear slimmer.

    This tip comes to you from The Big Book of David Guest Style Secrets.

    What is your current lifting routine? How often do you squat and dead lift?

    Why not build muscle in your chest and get in proportion rather than attempting to do something your body has no intention of doing?

    That would also LOOK better than being skeletal all over.

    Yes!

    I am totally confused by this thread.

    My legs are genetically on the bigger side but my upper body is small so I understand your frustration. I used to walk on the treadmill at 3.5 mph and noticed my legs just got bigger and bigger (my calves, especially) so eventually, I gave up on walking and started running longer distances at 6.0 mph instead. I've noticed a HUGE difference since then. :) My legs aren't as bulky and look a lot more thinner than when I was just walking. I don't know if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. ^^;

    My goal is not to lose weight, but to get skinny legs.

    My upper body is very skinny, more like skeloton, but yet legs, calves, thighs are big.
    I don´t know why.
    I dont want to have big legs, i want skinny as possible, but when i try to do some diet, i lose only weight, but legs still fat :(
    I hate my legs, please, how to get skinny legs?

    Dosent matter if i diet and eat 1000 calories, or eat normal and jog 1800 calories, legs still are not going any slimmer.

    You may need liposuction to spot reduce your legs. I know Victoria's Secret Models won't work their legs to keep the "skinny look" in them. My legs are the most muscular part of my body. I have lost count of how many men have complimented them. I don't EVER want to lose my muscles there. Interesting how everyone has a different view of what "sexy is". I would cry if they went skinny and unmuscular.

    If you have under develped muscles and a very low body fat % your legs would look "fat" in comparison, as those muscles would still have some function. I'm going on a limb and presuming you are still mobile. If you are a very low body weight and still belive that your legs are fat, then the rest of you is too thin.

    When you do certain sports or workouts, your body will eventually get the shape that's ideal for your sport and if you look at the runners, they always have super slim butts and legs. Good luck!

    Ugh. I have the same problem as the original poster. I've inherited my dad's T-rex thighs and not my mom's chicken legs. I've also got a bubble butt from all the women in my family. Will running do anything with this? Even though on swim team in high school and a stick, I still had a butt and bigger thighs than the other female swimmers. Buoyancy. XP
    . If you are a very low body weight and still believe that your legs are fat, then the rest of you is too thin.

    Mmm. Nope. My upper body has always been small as well. (I rock XS shirts yet used to wear size 11 jeans. Now, I dunno. They're a little big in some areas depending on brand. Anywho...) Some people are just built differently...sheesh.

    Sounds like someone else with body image issues and disordered eating.

    Agreed. Some of the responses here are pretty tasteless in that light also.

    OP: Please consider seeking some kind of help. Sounds like you have a very unhealthy view of yourself.

    This. If my upper body looked skeletal, I'd get in the gym, eat lots of healthy food especially protein, and build it up again. I appreciate the need to be symmetrical, but I think it's healthier to build up the too skinny bits rather than try to starve the better built parts. OP, you're clearly nowhere near obese if your upper body looks skeletal... seriously build yourself up, don't starve yourself. You'll look better and feel so much better for it.
