How to reduce the fats or muscles in the legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question?: I'm not sure if you want to get rid of fat or muscle or both in your legs. I would advise against getting rid of muscles as it's good for you, helps prevent osteoporosis in later life, and the muscles give you nice curves. To get rid of fat (legs and everywhere) cut your daily calories and get at least 30 min of aerobic exercise every day. See your doctor for help if needed.
