Re: Can anyone recommend an exercise
lay on the floor as if you were going to do a traditional leg lift. Cross your top leg over your bottom leg putting it in front of hte bottom leg and lift your bottom leg
I will do an internet search to try and find a picture for you.
Starting Position: Lie on the left side, and rest the head on the arm, keeping the neck in linewith the rest of the spine. Hips and shoulders should face forward with the abdominals engaged to help stabilize the spine and pelvis. Straighten the lower leg, then bend and cross the upper leg over it.
Action: Slowly lift the lower leg through a full range of motion. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg.

Cardio! Try an elliptical machine or a stationary bike. That trims the fat off your entire body. Strength and resistance training is just that - builds your strength.
Best thing to do for everyone is work on overall fitness... cardio to burn fat, build strength/muscular endurance and flexibility.

When the weather gets nice (I know, not helpful now!) do an intense hike - I cant wait til spring, I will go hike early AMs - you wouldnt believe what it does to your legs (no strolls - I mean, uphill terrain!!!)

Re: Can anyone recommend an exercise
please DO NOT STOP squatting!
what is makingyour legs bigger is that you are gaining muscle under your fat. you just need to diet down and add more cardio to your scehdule.
eventually you will have lean shapely legs, instead of flabby small legs. it is just a matter of time, and if your diet is tight on, you should start seeing results- trust me.
