i just got into going to the gym for treadmills.... before this i use to do A LOT of martial arts... but now... i just run on the treadmill..

i do want to lose a lot of weight but i heard that if you run a lot, your legs will have lots of muscles... and around the tigh area will sort of be um... big... i dont want that.. help?

At first, when you start building muscles, they may be a little bigger, but then the fat will melt off and you will have lean, awesome legs! Try not to lift too many weights (lower body) if you're concerned about not bulking up.

Angel,

I would like you to take a look at this woman here. She is Tawainese, and may have a similar lower body profile to you, or she may not. But the point is that she does not naturally have skinny calves, but even while she worked out (running AND lifting heavy weights), her legs never got bigger or looked more masculine. And good Gods, look at how the rest of her body has changed!
