How can you get great legs?

I went out on the weekend with a friend who wore tiny shorts and high heels and she had the most amazing legs.

She is a runner and had fake tanned them.

Can you improve the shape of your legs eg through exercise or is she just naturally lucky?

I have short legs with podgy knees. Is there any hope?

you can't change their shape or length!

you can slim them down with the rest of you, and tone them up.

I have chunky thighs whatever my weight, and my legs are a little short for my height. It's how I'm made.

they work. Be grateful.

The only thing that saves me are my slim ankles. My legs are shapely but thick. I think slender legs carry off skirts and shorts in a way that thick legs cannot.

I wear dresses/skirts that fall below my knees, stopping at the slimmest part of my legs.

At this time of year, you can feel conscious about your body. I spotted a woman walking her dog with a mid top and shorts. Flat stomach, slender legs with no hint of cellulite. I was very envious.

My legs are long and slim, but I wouldn't say they are lovely. However, I've noticed a real improvement in them since starting to exercise regularly.

I walk a lot and do weighted squats and lunges at the gym.
