Too muscular legs! Whatcan I do about it?

[Anonymous]

So i'm petite but then my thighs are average (19inches) making my body dispoportionate. (*I used to be an athlete) I want to slim my thighs down. Any tips?

If the added size comes from fat, you lose it through calorie deficit. If the added size comes from muscle, there is no safe or healthy way to get rid of it. Muscle only decreases through atrophy (muscle loss through lack of use) and undereating, which poses other health risks. Your best bet is to accept that you have a body that is unique to you. Many guys would love the look. If you are concerned with proportion add size to the upper body through strength training to make everything balance out.

why don't you try to be taller instead? you're under 18 and you might still grow

from what I've been told once you stop doing exercise your thighs can get thinner? I don't know if its true but thats what I've heard aha :)

Not nessicarily. You can lose muscle but this is highly dependant on activity level and food as well. I having not working in over 5 years still have maintained my muscle mass through diet.

Why not just add weight on the top side? It will possible be easier than becoming more seditary. Not to mention that seditary may not fix but increase weight issues.

you can't choose where to add weight.

Well technically no, but focusing your works out on certain body parts will increase those body parts. You ever see those guys with big arms but small legs. Guess what they only work out. ;)
