If God gave you naturally large thighs listen up

I'm blessed with naturally large thighs...if that's how you're calling it. I was 220# not long ago...my thighs were *really* large then. Amazing how when you take off some body fat they just kinda start to slim out. Slowly...slowly.
I'm the proud owner of 23" thighs right now...just this week I squatted 175-185#...and some random guy at the gym told my husband he was gonna hit on me (he didn't know I was married) and started to describe how "nice" he thought my legs were (in great detail). Total NSV, for sure. At any rate - I don't do cardio. I keep my legs nice and eh hem, "big" by squatting, deadlifting, doing weighted lunges...you know...all that weight lifting crap. And if they get bigger - so be it...but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to get much bigger, it's just a matter of fat coming off before I can have Erin Stern's or Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet's awesome legs.

You do what you need to do.

I'm gonna stick with squatting and deadlifting my way to perfection.

Big thighs and all.

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've trained clients who were mesomorphs with big legs with weight training for legs and their legs slimmed down too. It will depend on what goal one will want to reach. Some may just want to get into jeans. Others may want "harder" looking legs in bikini's. One size doesn't fit all.

I have nice hard looking legs also. I look great in a bikini. It worked for me and I'm so happy that I stopped squatting and dead lifting.

I'm 41 too. I think people are just jealous.

Why would anyone be jealous? - you are a blue person.


Oh, and I am 45 - so?

The OP isn't saying to lie in bed, bind your legs and let them atrophy. She's still giving them a workout. People on this thread are pretty judgmental. Everyone has their own ideal of beauty, and her wanting slimmer thighs isn't wrong.

totally...women are jealous catty itches here! I reached my fitness goals and I look dang good! I'm 41, and would be proud to wear a bikini on the beach...no flabby bits.

Okay, this is where I get serious and tell you to take a break from the internet. When you start resorting to name calling - you need to press the red x at the top right.
