    Both running and walking are great exercises for your legs, but it depends on the intensity of your exercise. If you're power walking, walking uphill, or hiking then you're going to build muscle. It all comes down to the person and what you're doing.

    You may not notice a dramatic difference in how your legs look in just 2 weeks, but you can make a good start! Do cardio exercises, like running, walking, or biking, for at least half an hour per day, 5 days a week. Make sure to set aside a couple of days for strength training, and focus on lower-body exercises to tone your legs, like lunges and squats. Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean protein (like chicken breast or tofu), and healthy fats (such as olive oil, fish, and nuts).

    The best way to tone your legs is to do exercises that target the muscles there, such as lunges and squats. Doing cardio will also help burn fat all over your body, which will eventually make your legs look more defined. Staying hydrated, getting plenty of exercise, and getting leg massages may help reduce cellulite.

    What if I need help boosting confidence?
    Community Answer
    Firstly, you must know that the shape of your legs should not dictate your confidence, because you are perfect the way you are. If your legs aren't your best feature, focus on the features (not just physical, but internal qualities as well) that are your best assets. And remember that pretending confidence is sometimes a necessary step toward achieving it.
