What is the best exercise to get lean legs rather than bulky ones? I go to gym 4 days a week and my legs are getting quite bulky

    Cardio to burn calories and reduce the fat. I assume from your username that you're female, so your muscles are never going to get body-builder-ripped without steroids, so if you feel they're getting bulky it's probably because any muscle you're building is sitting under a layer of fat, which makes them look bigger. You can't spot reduce fat so any cardio exercise will help - running, cycling, swimming, HIIT, etc.
