Slimmer rather than thick legs

[Mic]

Hi Cathe, I have a pretty easy time with putting muscle on in my legs, atleast in the upper area, my question is if I want a slimmer leg should I go lighter with the weights more frequently and if so how frequently? You see I'm only 5'2 so I would prefer a leaner look as opposed to a stockier look. Thanks hope you get better soon:.)

Hi Mic! I have the same situation with my upper thighs developing much easier than my lower leg. What works nicely for me in this area is having two or three high rep moderate weight leg workouts for every heavy one. But works even better is clean eating. The minute I let unclean eating become more mainstream in my diet vs a treat here and there, my thighs are right there jumping at the invitation

Thank's for the suggestions, I'll remember to try both of them, clean eating and working in more moderate weight leg workouts. Thanks Cathe for such a quick response.

Great question! I'm 5'3" and struggle to lean out my legs, too. And clean eating is not my forte, unfortunately. Thanks to Cathe, too, for your insight as a shortie!
