What will make your legs thinner walking or running 5 miles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Running-more quickly: Both of these exercises will improve the definition of your legs. However running will burn the fat and calories more quickly and usually will lead to results more quickly. Exercises that work the legs can also lead to more tone if you do increased # of repetitions.
