How to lose weight from thighs without building muscles?

[Anonymous]

Title says it all, I am afraid of starting to run regularly everyday and instead of making my thighs slimmer they get more muscular and huge, and what is better for me running, jogging or walking?

running is cardio. Cardio does not build much skeletal muscle if at all. So you don't need to worry about building muscle from running.

Also before you start building a noticeable amount of muscle your body will tone up. So if you did squats say once a week it would tone your butt and thighs but it would not be enough to gain any enough muscle to be particular noticeable.

You can either jog or do body weight exercises. Body weight exercises don't increase the amount of muscle or the size they basically just get your heart rate up and tone what you already have. So things like body weight squats, lunges, leg extensions, etc

Running won't build muscle, dont worry. Jogging will show results faster, but walking is easier on your body.

So should I start jogging?

Yeah.

Why would you want your legs to be muscular? If you lose the fat & just have muscle they will look better but be the same size.

You lose weight by eating less. Every single exercise will help you build muscles. If you don't want muscles, don't exercise.
