ok, here's the thing
i'm male, 14 y.o.
i don't look so much fat, except that lower body of mine
i started working out in the morning n i can c slightly results in my upper body (arms, belly), but non changes in my lower body
my lower body really disturbs me, looks terrible, i really have big legs, buttocks n thighs.....i even look good in my upper body, muscular....
so, if any1 is willing to help me, advise me of good exercises to tone that part

here's what i do for now:
squats (20 reps)
lunges (20 reps)
jumping jacks (5 min)
leg lifts (20 reps each leg)

few more exercises that i don't know name of ^^
i'm watching what i eat, i cut sweats n that stuff......

i could really use help with this :D
thx in advance

oh, n one more thing, i would like to notice some results in a like month or max 2
 
just keep working to get your diet under the necessary amount needed to keep your body going. Once you run out of fat in your belly and abs, and you keep cutting weight, it has to burn the fat in your thighs and glutes.
 
YOu're doing too many reps, and thus not enough weight.

Increase the weight, drop the reps to 8-12 per set. Lift HEAVY.

skip leg lifts. Squats, deadlifts, lunges...these are you friends. I doubt you have fat legs as a male. Likely you have muscular legs that need to be worked harder so they take shape. Men store fat in their abdomen..women store fat in their butt/legs (generally).
 
hmm, ok.... so, around 12 reps, on how much series? 2-5?
and, what do u mean by "increase weight"?
cycling will also do the thing, right?
 
Typically 3-4 sets, 8-12 reps as Malkore said.

Increase the weight, simply means increase the weight lol.

Lift heavier, ideally you should be reaching the point of near failure on the last rep.

What exactly is you FULL routine? Are you looking to drop fat, or simply gain muscle?
 
my goal is to tone legs (whole lower body)......reduce fat.....i don't want built muscle so i look like body builder.....just to have smaller toned legs, thighs, buttocks........
n, why would i increase my weight when i'm trying to loose it :p
 
If you're looking at getting some smaller legs and so on, I would really look into some distance running and reduce doing squats and lunges.
I'm not sure why people are saying to increase weight and decrease reps? If you're wanting to decrease the size of you're legs....

We meant increase the weight your lifting.

Lift weights, run a calorie defecit, and do cardio.

Yes, that will help him tone his legs. But he is saying he feels his legs are too big and wants them to be smaller. If he's upper body is in reasonable shape, I am guessing his legs are naturally bulky or larger, so lifting heavy is not going to help in decreasing what's there.
 
Yeah I understand. I guess I just understood it, that his legs were too big in terms of muscle... as some people seem to have stocky legs.
 
Your other option is to increase weight even more, and reduce reps to only 5-6 per set. This builds strength, but not much muscle mass.

And as stated, distance running will be better than cycling to 'shrink' the legs.

Honestly you're probably beter off trying to bulk up your upper body, since right now you're too big in the lower body (again I doubt its mostly fat, likely mostly muscle)
 
i have this machine at home, called orbitrek

-can't post links, so just google it :p

can that do the trick instead of distance running?
i worked out on it like, 20 mins, then lil rest then 10....

so, at the end, should i decrease reps?
it's kinda more logical to me, to burn fat, to do more reps...but i'm no expert :D
 
Once again, my opinion would be to increase sets and reps with a lower weight and get some distance into your legs. That machine may help a bit, but I tend to stay away from machines like that.
