Advice on legs!

Does anyone have any ideas how to reduce the size of my legs instead of increasing? My legs have gotten muscular which is great but they are also getting bigger and I dont want that! Ive been told you cant spot train. Any ideas on what I can do or what I might be doing wrong? Right now I work out 4-5 times a week. I only strength train 2-3 days per week. I try to vary my cardio but my favorite equipment is the eliptical. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd just let it be for now. Might be the swell in your muscles if you just started strength training. It will all even out when you lose more overall bodyfat.0

I thought about that but I have been consistently working out including strength training for 8 months. Its just been in the last month that all these muscles have popped up. I will hang in there0
