You might be thinking the answer is squats. And while squats do target your lower body, they tend to grow the muscles in your legs and not slim them down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your goal is to have lean legs, then you should avoid exercises such as squats and lunges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important that you keep in mind that not all workouts work the same for everybody. First of all, you will need to know your body type as this will determine the type of workout and nutrition routine you should follow. To find out what body type you are, you can go do our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/find-out-body-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">body type quiz here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some body types build muscles easily (endomorphs and mesomorphs), so you need to be careful what kind of exercises you are doing. If you notice that a certain type of exercise is bulking your legs, then stop doing it immediatelly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the exercises that we share here are great because they work for all body types and they won&#8217;t grow your leg muscles! Feel free to use them and get those lean and toned legs you are looking for. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/female-guide-how-to-get-lean-and-not-bulky-skinny-legs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RELATED POST: The Female Guide on How to Get Lean and not Bulky<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Combine these Exercises:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do them all in one circuit, or pick a few to add to your workout.
