Hey

So I've recently lost weight, but my legs have gone quite skinny! I don't like it, I prefer to have them a bit more chunky. What exercises should I be doing? And should I be eating anything in particular?

I do a few classes a week at the gym including kettlebells, body pump and legs, bums and tums.

Thanks

:)

    Run.

    My daughter's father calls the chunky, muscular legs "rhino legs". Strong and solid. He loves it.

    Strength train and eat at a calorie surplus. Make sure to pick a program you like and stick with it

    You'll ruin your thigh gap with all that strength training. You need to do yoga to lengthen your muscles.

    That's broscience. You can't lengthen your muscles. Yoga lengthens your bones.

    I heard juicing is better than using your teeth. It helps you detox.
