They might think these workouts will help their legs get smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I totally understand this. This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/why-i-dont-lift-heavy-weights-anymore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how I used to exercise too<\/a>! I did lots of squats and lunges hoping that I would look leaner. But, instead of helping me slim down, these workouts caused my thighs to grow in size!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you constantly work out your calves, hamstrings, inner thighs, and quads, your legs will most likely get bigger! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially true if you&#8217;re doing them with a lot of heavy weights or if you do them every day. Trust me, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/do-squats-make-your-legs-bigger-or-smaller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">even bodyweight squats can make some women&#8217;s quads bulkier<\/a> than they want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/2-out-of-3-body-types-can-get-too-muscular\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this all depends on your body type too<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle to put on fat or muscles, doing moves like squats may not make us much of a noticeable impact. If you tend to gain muscle or fat relatively quickly, these workouts most likely won&#8217;t help you achieve slimmer legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know your body type, you can do my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/find-out-body-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FREE body type quiz<\/a>.

Sometimes walking doesn&#8217;t feel intense enough! But, as I explain later, walking is really is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re doing my <a href=\"https:\/\/rachael-attard-fn.myshopify.com\/pages\/lean-legs-1-program?utm_source=broadcast&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=blog_text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lean Legs program<\/a>, I suggest that you only do my program. You don&#8217;t need any additional workouts. It is designed to give you the right amount of training. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People often think that if you do exercises that target your legs, your legs will get smaller. This is based on the idea that you can spot reduce fat from specific areas of your body with resistance training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s like when people believe they will get abs by doing lots of crunches every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I have to be honest with you, <strong>doing leg workouts every day won&#8217;t help you get rid of thigh fat faster<\/strong>. AND it could actually <strong>make your legs bigger instead of smaller<\/strong> by increasing the size of your muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you train your muscle, the bigger your muscle will get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides this type of training (also called resistance, strength, or weight training) typically <strong>DOES NOT burn fat<\/strong>. So if you want to get rid of thigh fat, no amount of resistance training will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to reduce thigh fat, you need to do more cardio.

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-re-doing-the-wrong-kind-of-cardio\"><strong>YOU&#8217;RE DOING THE WRONG KIND OF CARDIO<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The tricky thing about cardio is that so much of it is leg focused. Cycling, sprinting, dancing, jump rope, elliptical\/cross trainer, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I have to choose <strong>the most effective cardio for slimming down your legs, I&#8217;d say waking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking is one of the best things I&#8217;ve done for my legs. If you want to slim your thighs, I recommend that you prioritize power walking and running over other types of cardio workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, lots of different types of cardio are great at burning calories. And burning calories is good for weight loss. But, if your goal is to lose leg fat, walking is your best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because walking keeps your body in the fat-burning zone. In this zone, the most efficient thing your body can do is use oxygen to convert fat (instead of carbs) to energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of biology behind why exactly the fat-burning zone works, and I&#8217;ve explained it in way more detail in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/fat-burning-zone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this blog post<\/a>. The takeaway, though, is that exercising in the fat-burning is a great way to burn extra fat, that often lands on your thighs, hips, and love handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/is-walking-or-running-better-for-fat-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RELATED POST: IS WALKING OR RUNNING BETTER FOR FAT LOSS?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/skinny-legs-mistakes-wrong-cardio.jpg\" alt=\"skinny legs mistakes wrong cardio\" class=\"wp-image-25609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/skinny-legs-mistakes-wrong-cardio.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/skinny-legs-mistakes-wrong-cardio-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/skinny-legs-mistakes-wrong-cardio-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-walking-running-on-an-incline\"><strong>WALKING\/RUNNING ON AN INCLINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running or even walking at an incline works your legs a lot and can cause bulkiness. If you run or walk uphill, up stairs, or use the incline settings on your treadmill, you&#8217;ll notice that your quads will start getting bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re struggling with how to slim your bulky legs, I suggest you try to stick to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/how-to-get-skinny-legs-top-3-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">walking and some running<\/a> on flat surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-word-about-running-in-general\"><strong>A WORD ABOUT RUNNING IN GENERAL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running can be a great way to lose weight and burn a ton of calories. But it does cause some women to bulk up really quickly, depending on their body type and genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re an endomorph body type and you&#8217;re on the shorter side, you may bulk up from running. I don&#8217;t say this to tell you not to run, as only you can define what is too bulky for you. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-other-types-of-workouts\"><strong>WHAT ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF WORKOUTS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We use our legs for so many other types of workouts too! I especially encourage Endomorphs or Mesomorphs to evaluate all the different types of workouts you do. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some workouts that I suggest you take a look at. You can read a longer list <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/cycling-dancing-barre-make-legs-bigger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cycling<\/strong> &#8211; If you regularly cycle you will probably notice your legs bulking up, especially if you are an Endomorph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dancing<\/strong> &#8211; Some dance classes may end up bulking up your legs more than you want. The more you&#8217;re jumping, the more you&#8217;re using your leg muscles. Try different teachers and classes that fit a style and pace that suits you the best. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barre<\/strong> &#8211; Barre can be wonderful for your legs and butt! Just like dancing, though, it depends on the teacher and class. Try to pick a class that does mostly floor and bar work, without too many squats or jumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yoga <\/strong>&#8211; For some girls, even yoga can cause too much bulk. I doubt this happens very often, but it is worth paying attention too, especially if you do yoga more than 1-2 times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lean-legs-mistakes-barre.jpg\" alt=\"skinny legs mistake barre\" class=\"wp-image-25610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lean-legs-mistakes-barre.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lean-legs-mistakes-barre-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lean-legs-mistakes-barre-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hiit-workouts\"><strong>HIIT WORKOUTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally enjoy HIIT and I usually do it once per week.

In fact, I don&#8217;t think either of these are good options. But I do suggest you track calories for a couple of weeks just so that you have a rough idea of how much you&#8217;re really eating. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn how to calculate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/how-to-calculate-your-daily-calorie-intake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your daily caloric intake here<\/a>. If you want to lose weight, I suggest eating about 200 calories less than this number, and never go below 1200 calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"34474\" class=\"elementor elementor-34474\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-323b6bb0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"323b6bb0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-11f990c5\" data-id=\"11f990c5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c1d336b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4c1d336b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ver_1_Calculator.png\" title=\"Ver_1_Calculator\" alt=\"free calorie and macros caluclator\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48eb6705 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"48eb6705\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TTText_only_calculator-1024x328.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-35061\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TTText_only_calculator-1024x328.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TTText_only_calculator-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TTText_only_calculator-768x246.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/TTText_only_calculator.png 1269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdaf355 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bdaf355\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/macro-diet-calculator.html?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=inline&#038;utm_campaign=elm-calories-macros-calculator-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">CALCULATE NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-don-t-eat-enough\"><strong>YOU DON&#8217;T EAT ENOUGH! <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t eating enough, you can hurt your metabolism.
