Question: Lunges and squats= bigger or slimmer.?
does squats and lunges makes your legs bigger.? I'm 16, female, 5'1 and i weight bout 50-52 kg. My legs are pretty fat, my lower legs are like big and so as my upper legs.

Hey angela, first, you're a girl.. your legs won't do exactly what a guys do, they won't get huge and muscular, mainly because you aren't able to do the amount of weight a guy can do... unless of course you use steroids. which are BAD!!!! any-who, if you want to slim down, i suggest lunges and squats, but with little to no weight... but I also suggest doing this after a cardio exercise. Jump rope is one of the best exercises for cardio. That and running. What you're aiming for, is to sweat a lot and then target the areas you want to burn fat... ie. legs. but yeah... don't worry, you won't end up looking like arnold.Health Question & Answer
The hips and legs are where your body likes to store excess weight.
Once you lose the fat surrounding this area you will reveal beautifully toned muscle.
The only discouraging part is that if you do squats before you lose the fat, it will appear that you are getting slightly larger in those areas. After around five weeks of fat burning cardio, you will notice more shape and less fat.
Don't eat fat and your body won't deposit the fat there. Your body can't do anything with fat. It is hard to dispose of once it is in your system.Health Question & Answer
