Hi, so the lower part of my body is pretty bulky, I’m doing elliptical for 30 mins a day and I was wondering if this will increase or decrease the size of my thighs?? Because I’m not looking forward to build more bulk than I already have, I want to have slimmer legs... thank you

    Hi! I’m super pear shaped so I get where you’re coming from!! Unfortunately, while the elliptical is a great cardio machine, it’s not the best for slimming your legs and can encourage muscle growth (extra bulk) in your legs over a period of time.
    In order to lean out I walk a LOT and do Pilates inspired workouts to get leaner leg muscles. Check out rachel_attard on IG! She breaks it down much better than I could lol
