PLEASE help!

Hi there! I need serious help with my thighs! I need to know what workouts to do in order for my thighs not to get bigger, but have definition and "shape". I am 5 foot, weigh about 108. I have NEVER had legs shaped like everyone else that are just born with them, probably due to genetics. I feel like my legs are like a chicken leg, just a big round mass on the top, which makes below the knee look so small... IT really sucks. I NEVER have worn shorts and am sick of not ever wanting to wear a bathing suit in public because of my embarassment. I am not overweight, but have giggly untoned thighs. A couple of friends have told me that I just need to walk, jog and run. Should this be enough? Will I ever see results? PLEASE HELP! I don't want to go a whole other summer not wearing shorts or a bathing suite! 

what equipement is available for you ? do you have access to a gym or do you only have some dumbells and barbells ?
This is going to be easier with this infos.

I have access to a gym.

First of all...don't start going crazy in the gym...go at your own pace.
You should start by looking at your nutrition. Take a look at our nutrition forum, the best of sticky is really worth it.
At the gym, never do the same body part more than twice a week...more is NOT better !
You should start by doing some bicycle for 5-10 mins in order to warm up a  little bit. Then some leg extension, about 4 sets of 12-15 reps. Slowly, no race here feel it all the way. After walk to the leg curl machine and add 3 sets of 12-15 reps..same thing slowly. Walk to the squat machine (or smith machine) and try adding some 3 sets of squats 12-15 reps. Be careful with your form here. Then to complete the leg add some seated calf raises, 2-3 sets of 15 should be quite enough.
Now the tought part...after every workout you will need to do some cardio, 20-45 mins each, jog, step, elliptical machine...don't care but do it !
This should help your leg routine. If you need help with the other bodyparts, feel free to ask.
Note : you cannot spot loose fat...you won't just loose fat from your thight...you'll loose fat everywhere.

Hope I helped you a little here !
Have a pleasant evening !

Exactly- Losing fat is done more through proper nutrition and cardio than through area specific exercise- The way to get nice toned legs is to build some muscle there, and then lose the fat that's covering it- And don't worry about your legs getting too big with muscle. You have no idea how much you have to feed yourself in order to gain muscle.

thanks guys! I have been doing about 30 minutes cardio a day on the treadmill or elliptical and actually trained my legs today. i have been using the machines some (every once in a while) in the past, but will start doing it at least twice a week... along with the cardio.  Since I feel my thighs are already large, I have always been nervous in lifting very much weight...so Im glad that you made that last statement cpl! So as long as I do cardio I should lose the fat covering my muscles while I am developing them more and as long as I eat a sensible diet and do at least 30 mintues cardio I should have no problem?
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it! Hopefully I will be able to see enough results to want to wear some shorts this summer!!

but will start doing it at least twice a week

good but no more than twice !!!!!!

I have another quick question. Does it matter when I do cardio, before or after weight training? I have been doing cardio before I do weights...that way I have already warmed up and done my cardio...should I start doing it after?

lol, dont ever do your cardio before hitting the weights, try doing them on different days.

what is the reason for this? can you not get as much in your weight training or something? thanks 8pack...

do your weights first as this will use up your glycogen stores and then after weight training jump on the exercise bike or treadmill afterwards and do your 30 minutes or so of cardio.

you shouldnt have enough energy to do cardio after hitting the weights, I know i dont.
 
or am i the only weirdo? :/

yeh, I am doing weight training in the early afternoon and then cardio in the evening. I was going to try to do cardio after weights the other day, and I was too tired and my muscles too sore.

the soreness you are feeling is normal, laughin. Your muscles are healing and as you keep up your routine you will find that the degree of stiffness you feel following a workout will mimimize/become non-existent. (that is until you significantly increase plate load/add a variation to your routine).

Drink lots of water. Cut all the crap out of your diet. This is no joke. I have now dropped 14 pounds of unwanted weight which I gained from drinking 2L of coca cola almost daily. As women, thighs are one of the places you will start to see jiggle. Personally I only drink water now, or natural fruit smoothies. Cardio 30 mins in the morning, weight training later in the day. On off days, 45 mins-1 hour cardio.

I have no jiggle left on my thighs. Yes it can be done. I reached my goal weight in about 2 months and have no plans on going back to the way I was eating before. For my thighs/bum, I do leg extensions, not overly heavy, (for now maximum 45lbs.), squats, lunges, abductor/adductor machine, good mornings, deadlifts (variations), and I run stairs and jog.

Thats my suggestion to you, because it worked for me.

Good luck!

Watch the  Carbs intake  you inherited gaining weight in the thighs ect, so you must watch the diet eating style everyday.
