Body Beast: Have a look at the above program...And "dial-it-back" from there! seriously, putting on serious muscle and gaining size is not easy to do without focused motivation, adding more calories than you'd need for basic fitness training, lifting heavy, and resting a lot. My vote would be accomplish this gradually, over time.

None: How to loss mass from one spot on the body is a common question. Unfortunately, you cannot do this with significant results. If you burn more calories than you take it, you will lose weight. This will decrease the size of your thighs. All leg exercises can build muscle but you are not likely to make big muscles without lifting heavy weights. Tone your legs with light weights and aerobic exercise.

Interval training: Jumping jacks and burpees (see youtube) are great aerobic activities that when combined with interval training greatly increase cardiovascular protection and improve fitness. Exercise for 20 seconds and rest for 10 secs. Repeat this 8 times for a total of 4 mins. Enjoy!

Be variable: I would suggest aerobic exercise such as
running/ walking, cycling, swimming 3-5x/wk
i would also recommend flexibility exercises
along with strength exercises for lower and
upper extremities along with core strengthening
the key is to be consistent and not go overboard and get injured.

What is a workout routine and why do people do it?

Lots of reasons: A workout routine is simply a collection of exercises grouped together to achieve a particular goal. That goal is the reason people do it, and it varies from person to person. Some do it to lose weight, others to gain weight, some do it to improve endurance, sometimes it's sports specific, and some do it simply because it makes them feel good.

Strength & Aerobics: A balanced routine of strength, endurance and aerobic conditioning is optimal. Consistency is key and each component need not be done at the same time. Appropriate, clean nutrition will assure fuel for workouts and bone strength.
