Getting my legs in shape

[keelyj]

If I want my legs like this (please see link - I hoping it works), are squatts and lunges using weights the way forward? Or am I best sticking to the machines at the gym (i.e. leg press, inner and outer thing machine and the one that works your hamstring)?

I'm not necessarily looking to build huge muscles, I'm just looking for good muscle definition. I need to clean up my diet (especially as I have eaten anything and everything over Christmas). I'm 5ft 2 (Think that's about 1.5 metres tall) and weigh 8.5 stones (117lbs).

hmmm I clicked on your link and I didn't see any legs, only a girl sucking on a lollypop lol.

And to get your legs to look a certain way, it's hard to tell you what exercises to do, because well we don't know what you're working with?

Also you have to work with what you're given. And here's an example of what I mean, I have a friend who has very thin legs, and does not like them, she's always telling me she wants a track runner's legs. Yes she can improve her legs, but getting that thick track runner look isn't going to happen for her, it's just not how she's built.

Well I've always wanted skinny legs but have come to the conclusion that I'm never ever going to get that so, to me, the next best thing is quite muscular legs. I have quite short legs. It's hard to describe them and I don't imagine it would make a difference because, like you say, everybody is different. I just want to make the best of my legs. I would like a lot of definition on the thighs and inner thighs. I also like it when you have that look where your knees look really narrow compared with muscular thighs and calves (if that makes sense).

TOTALLY makes sense! I like that look too! Do you know your bf%?
