how can I make my legs look thinner?

I have a naturally muscular build and I run, walk or bike ride just about every day, and I watch what I eat, but I have some “cotttage cheesy” looking stuff on my thighs and the back of my calves. I’m very self-conscious about it and don’t like to wear shorts or short skirts because of it. I’ve been using Nivea Skin Firming Moisturizer with Q10 that’s supposed to help with cellulite, but I don’t know if it’s helping or not. I think I’m also retaining water (probably from my birth control pills…ugh). What can I do to get rid of the water retention (are there special drinks I should drink beside water – I already drink a lot of water – about 10 glasses a day)? What else can I do to get rid of the fat? It’s really depressing.

Before I start I want you to know that I think that a muscular build, especially in the legs is very sexy on a woman, but I won’t let my personnal preference to get in the way of your goal.

I’ll talk about the water retention part first, water retention can be caused by any combination of things, keep in mind though that you don’t want to necessarily stop taking in water. Water retention can be caused by allergic reaction to different things that you put on your body or in your body (certain fish, chocolate, or even certain lotions) so make sure that isn’t whats causing it. Another thing is, in women, any rise in estrogen in the body can increases the tendency to retain fluids. .

Some people’s bodies seem to retain water with no apparent explanations. Puffiness may come and go in cycles and may be related to hormone fluctuations (your birth control) A good diuretic could help with this. Diuretics force the elimination of water from the body without correcting the underlying dysfunctions that have caused the problem. A very good one for women is XPEL by MHP you can get it online at a lot of supplement stores. I recommend massnutrition.com.

As far as your workout, a high rep leg workout will be what you need to do. Within your workout include these:

Find a treadmill at your gym that will incline and raise it to the steepest setting, on the speed keep it very slow around .8 mph as you walk push the treadmill belt slightly faster than the belt is turning. This resistance should be felt in the calves, hamstrings, and glutes. I’ve had lots of success with clients that needed to get rid of cellulite with this excercise. Also add light cardio in 3 to 4 times a week. Good Luck, and stay dedicated to your goal. Dedication will be the main key here.
