      Squats and lunges are your best friend. :love:

      Squats and lunges, start off using no weight, then add dumbbells as you get stronger.

      The very best exercises for jiggly legs are cardio and resistance exercise coupled to a sound food intake program.
      Works 100% of the time.

      Run! Running had made my calves much leaner. Stairs will rock out your thighs and calves. Try walking first, and go to running.

      It will work your whole body, and your legs will look great in no time! :)

      keep watching your diet (don't undereat) while doing cardio to reduce bf%. Fat will eventually come off the same way it came on.

      I walk and do 30ds.. Is that enough for cardio ? Probably not. =/ how do I reduce bf % ? Eating foods with no fat ? I never go over my daily fat goal.

      My thighs are stubborn as heck, and after 4 1/2 months of working out and losing/toning up everywhere else, they FINALLY started shrinking when doing squats and jogging!!!

      Cardio as the above people have mentioned. Also kickboxing should tone up your legs pretty well, especially if you squeeze your gluteus when executing the kicks. Try some spinning classes- will definitely get the hamstrings and quads.

      Running and Inline Skating tightened up my legs pretty good.

      Fats are good for you in the right amounts. eating no fats are bad. Fat in food does not cause you have fat on your body. Eatting more calories daily than you need puts the fat on your body.

      Find out your daily calorie needs and eat less the your total daily energy expenditure. Have you set up your MFP account to figure out calorie intake? Follow its guide lines and over time your bodyfay% with drop.

      Exercise is also great for general health purposes. But if you eat a deficit you will drop BF%. A mix a weights and cardio during the week will go alone way with staying healthy. Weights especially if your eating a deficit, that way you hold on to more of your muscles while loosing. As your body will have no problem taking from them for energy if your not using them

      Yes, I've set everything up and I dont go over my daily calorie goal so I suppose im well on my way to lowering my bf%.

      you reduce body fat % eating less calories than it takes your body to maintain your current weight. Search BMR online, or TDEE.

      meh, take it as advice using humor. Smile at it, ultimately it does not matter, and thats just their way of saying eat a deficit. K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid)

      When it comes to ankles, calves, quads, and glutes, very few things are going to compare to hitting the bike. It's also minimal impact, so its great for knees and ankles. If you're riding outdoors, it'll help core strength too, and it doesn't get boring when you are dodging pedestrians, cars, and other cyclists.

      I think a stationary bike is best for me.. I am too klutzy to be on a bike.. I'd die with fat highly legs.
