Lately I have noticed that in shorts, spandex, even in dress pants my quads show. They look like two Thanksgiving turkeys glued to my femur!
I've been Cathe-ing for 6 months, maybe 3-4/week, and running 5 miles twice a week. I am relatively small and quite muscular: 5'3" and 119 lbs. I think MIS and Power Hour (or is it all the stepping?) have imparted these new quadriceps on me! I do either MIS OR Power Hour once a week, plus two other Cathe step vids (usually IM and Circuit Max) and the two runs.
I have already reduced my lunging weight to zero lbs, but I still use 12 lb dumbbells for squats and plies. Is this the problem? I want my thighs to be leaner and less muscular.
What exactly is making them so big and bulky? Should I run more? Step less? Squat less? I don't really want to stop lower body resistance training...Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks, Lisa
