You can do the following exercises to lose inches off of your thighs while not
building much extra muscle.

The most important factor in exercise that affects how much muscle you build
is the repeat (rep) range that you do.

To build more muscle mass, you shoud do low numbers of reps (3-5) with
enough weight to cause muscle failure in that range. This essentially helps
tear apart some of your muscle fiber, and when you eat protein after the
workout, that helps your body rebuild the muscle, adding to it; and making
it larger.

To avoid building muscle mass, and focus on burning the fat on your legs,
just do many reps (15+ per set) with medium-low weight amounts.

For example, running or brisk walking are good methods to help burn
fat on your thighs without building your muscles. Cycling and using the
stair-climbing machine are also good workouts.

Other, more specific exercises include squats, leg curls, leg extensions and
calf raises. With a focus on fat-burning, I've found the cardiovascular exercises
like power-walking and running more effective.

Thanks for the info. I defiantely do not need to bulk up at all. I will stick to walking. I am afraid to try any weights.

The walking & stair stepper ARE finally working!

Thanks ian!
