Awesome and interesting article, Shimmer. It makes a lot of sense. I don't directly overtrain my abs or back, but I do tend to overtrain my obliques... while I feel my lovehandles are less giggly, I also believe that long distance running is the sole assistant in slimming them down. I never realized that working the muscle is also building it back up.

Great article!I agree with the writer and I have to say this:If you want to bulk use heavy weights,if you want to have more lean legs the answer is PILATES!
so for thinner inner thighs do inner thigh leg lifts and circles with no weights !you can use an exercise band instead!

They would provide better tone all over, because they are cardio, you'd lose weight all over therefore allowed the muscle tone to show better. Then you do weights & resistance training to build the muscle or you will look like one of those skinny fat people haha.

all the step machines, Hip adductor machines will some how "tone" the muscles there(or build muscles), if you really want it to look "smaller", the best way is running. Yes, running!!! lose the fat for the smaller thighs.
