My legs are really leggy and longlike hers. I'm tall like you are too. I could probably get them to look like them with a lot of work! Lots of jiggle right now :(

You can do a lot to tone your legs through strength training. Squats, lunges, calf raises, hamstring curls, leg raises, the list goes on and on.

I've been working out with a personal trainer for going on three years now. We do lots and lots of leg exercises and I have to say that I'm very happy with how my legs have shaped up. Sure, you can't change your basic body shape, but with strength training you can do a lot to make what you have look a lot better--firmer, leaner, shapelier. I hated my legs, especially my knees and thighs, and now I'm thrilled with how they look. I've been buying skorts and shorter skirts to show them off.

So start strength training. Join a gym and use the leg machines. If you can't join a gym, research exercises that you can do with just your body weight or inexpensive equipment like resistance bands, free weights, a Bosu, or exercise balls. Self.com and About.com are are couple of great sources for exercise ideas. Or try the book New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women. A lot of folks in the Weight Lifting Forum are using it and seem to really like it.

Something else that would help is running uphill. Are there any hills in your area? Try adding some hill work to your running and that will do a lot to shape up both your legs and your butt. If you run on a treadmill, try increasing the incline for some of your workouts. If you don't have access to a treadmill and live where it's flat, find a local football field and run up the steps in the stands. Just don't run downhill, that's a really good way to injure your knees. Walk down the hills.

I will never have legs like hers lol I am just not built that way and I have thick ankles lol BUT I do tons of miles of walking aerobic videos a day. My legs are very toned and very tight. All from the walking aerobic videos, which of course are full of kick backs and knee lifts and side to sides and kicks. Nothing else just those videos.

I want legs like these :lol:

I love Beyonce's womanly shape.

thanks guys, i think i will def give some of those things ago. i already run regularly and do exercises designed to help butt and legs on an exercise video, i suppose i could introduce more of my own training into the sessions .

I have already noticed a difference in my legs since i have started running regularly again, just tightness, strength and general shape is improved, but where im trying to loose the fat on them aswell it is difficult.

anyway thanks for the advice, wish i could join a gym but alass low moneys...so i will try some home training :-D

Oh my gosh, I was at the store last night and saw a woman with legs just like those in your little pic. Wow did they have muscles. They looked just like men legs.
