    6 years ago... Just before working out (never really took pics of my legs before)...

    July 2011 - 5 years after lifting...

    That's how my legs look, very muscular calves. But then my dad said I have "stocky" legs like him, I thought that was mean. But I have had guys compliment my legs, so that made me happier!

    So your legs before were mostly muscular (and not fat) and after lifting more muscular. Unlike the previous commenter.

    Great results with cellulite. There was a dry brushing thread about getting rid of cellulite and my thoughts were it may help but doing weights like this lady is the way to go.

    Your legs look really slim. Don't think they need to shrink more looking at you in the skirt but may be different story in shorts or bikini. So most of the chunkiness you had previously in your legs was fat.

    Thank you. Yeah, I still wish I had "the gap". I just want to stop the jiggle at the very top :p I do however wish my calves were a bit slimmer but I'll never be happy lol

    For those who asked (thank you by the way for the compliment):

    I work legs with heavy weights (heavy to me) 2x a week, and I do HIIT on the treadmill 2x a week (20 minutes sprinting/jogging/fast walking).

    I change up my routine every 6-8 weeks, but for example this week my leg workout is:

    Warmup - 2 sets of 30 reps on the leg extension machine (very light); 50 jumping jacks
    3 x 8 squats (usually back, sometimes I do front) - 65lbs, 85lbs, 100lbs
    (If I do squats for my first leg workout, the next time I work legs I will do deadlifts instead)
    3 x 10 each leg walking lunges w/ dumbbells (20lbs each)
    4 x 8 leg press (135lbs+)
    3 x 10 each leg stepups w/ dumbbells (15-20lbs)
    4 x 10 calves (using leg press machine)
    3 x 10 plie squats with dumbbell (45-50lbs)
    3 x 10 leg curls (50lbs on machine)

    I don't have pictures but I ride my stationary bike at a high level and P90X Legs and Back is a killer work out for legs. No matter how many rounds of it I do it always makes me sore after which then makes me walk funny for about a week after haha. You can do it alone or add weights and you can always go higher on weights to increase intensity.
