💪🏻The workout routine I did to lose fat and tone up: https://stan.store/katarinathesecond  *EDIT*: Oh my god, dear ladies...breathe. This video seems to really hit a nerve, but before you get triggered, take a few breaths. I see many people have misunderstood this video, so I want to address it clearly because it raises important points.

First of all, if you don’t wish to reduce your quad size, why are you watching this video?

For those concerned about longevity. Your muscle strength and functionality matter, not just size. Research doesn’t just look at “how much muscle you have,” it looks at things like: how easily you can stand up from a chair, how fast you can walk, and how strong your LOWER body is. These are some of the strongest predictors of aging well and living longer. Also, your grip strength, btw.

So yes, strong legs matter, but bigger legs don’t equal better health or more longevity automatically because here is the thing: muscle size and muscle strength are not the same. Here is the key difference: muscle size can influence strength, BUT muscle strength does not always predict size. What matters for longevity is your muscle STRENGTH AND FUNCTIONALITY!! Not just muscle size or “bulk”. That’s also why things like walking speed are used in research as a “vital sign”; it reflects real-world lower-body strength and coordination.

Saying that reducing muscle size (for aesthetic goals) automatically harms your health is not accurate because you can maintain strong, functional legs, stay active and mobile, which supports long-term health, without needing maximum muscle size.

And if we look at real-world longevity patterns, such as populations often referred to as Blue Zones, there is a consistent theme that pops up when it comes to people living long, healthy lives:
daily natural movement (walking, gardening, staying active), strong family ties, and a purposeful life. That doesn’t mean muscle strength isn’t important; it just shows that health and longevity don’t require chasing maximum muscle size at the gym.

But more importantly, did you actually watch this video till the end, because the stats I see for this video tell me otherwise. Let's clarify this. I'm not telling you to get weaker. I'm telling you to shift from quad dominance to glute strength, which actually means you're building one of the important muscle groups for long-term health, posture, and functional movement. They play a role in reducing fall risk, which is linked to hip fractures, spinal health, and, as mentioned before, functional movement like getting up from a chair or climbing stairs. Idk if you ever tested it yourself, but if you activate your glutes when climbing the stairs, it's gonna be less exhausting😉.

In this video, I advise shifting training from isolated movements and the gym to other things, which also support strength, not "atrophying" muscles as someone commented...  

It's also targeted at women with muscular and dominant quads who wish to reduce the size of their thighs because some of us just like that more. The irony is also that in some cases, women with "bulky" quads actually have underactive glutes, meaning their quads are overcompensating for weak glutes. This video directly aims to fix that problem.

And well, I follow this exact routine, and I'm still the strongest girl in my dance class when it comes to leg strength, and yes, there are girls with quads twice as big as mine. (This is not to disrespect anyone).

Please remember, all bodies are beautiful; there's nothing wrong with having muscular or slim legs. People have different aesthetic goals (so let's respect that), and that doesn’t automatically mean they’re neglecting their health. Be sensible!

Lastly, this video was requested. I got so many questions about muscular and "bulky" thighs, so I decided to make an entire video about this topic. If this video triggers you, I'm truly sorry for that.

But for those who were looking for this, hopefully it's helpful to you!! 🙏🏻❤ As always, the best way to support my channel is to give this video a thumbs up, subscribe, share with your bestie, and leave a comment 💬🙏🏻.

Finally someone said it! Walking, yoga, pilates instead of crazy cardio, weights and cutting calories! Thank you so much ❤

I love being an athlete, I love my muscular legs, what they can do

Sorry, I saw this, and no one asked, but as a man, thick thighs save lives❤

slim legs may look cool but strong legs will carry me better in my old age. I will rather keep my muscle and look bulky but be able get up out of a chair as an oldy. But goals do differ. Glad you found what works for you.

Okay but..the photos youre showing is girls that are just super skinny in general with really long legs, thats why they look like that. Someone on the short side will never achieve that look no matter what they do. I would have to be extremely underweight

I was shocked by the leg she showed as "slim" it is not just slim , it is def unhealthy

I hope this doesn't discourage anyone from building bulky leg muscles! It's hot af and often comes as a byproduct of playing sports like football (soccer) anyways. Qutting those types of exercise for the pursuit of skinny legs will never be worth it. Especially if you love doing them. It's completely fine to have personal preferences though - your body, your choice! Either way is beautiful :)

i’m just shocked she didn’t realize training her thighs with weights and heavy cardio increases muscular thighs. I train for bigger more muscular, yet still soft thighs and behind, and you’d have to train the opposite way to get an opposite results.

As ex ballet dancer want to say you can absolutely have slim lean legs that are also strong and healthy. It’s not an either or.

can relate!
my inner thighs has always been a nightmare to me and whatever I've done to lose it, did not work. I was skinny fat and looking like a fat kid. The game changer was  eating less and burning more fat without lifting weights!  (pilates, walking and swimming)

Am I the only one that likes how thicker thighs look instead of thinner ones? I just feel like there’s nothing wrong with a big muscle group looking bulky

0:01 chat that is thin and toned😭 it's unhealthy asf atp yall osteoporosis is waiting for you in the future

the comments here are insane lmfao. equating thinner legs to unhealthy legs is insane work. yall think ure so feminist for that shit but u arent 💀💀💀 same as how sleeper builds work, u dont need huge arms to show you can lift your bodyweight. yall gotta CHILL OUT lmfao. let people live without thinking thin = an ED. im thin asf and have a good thigh gap but im a cyclist that does 70-100km mountain rides, running 5km in 24m+, etc.. my legs are strong as hell but thats because i do the right things. i also primarily do yoga/active flexibility stuff which also help the leg muscles strengthen A LOT without bulking them. coz strength =/ large muscles. theyre sculpted but thin. same with arms, they look like sticks till i flex them. these people in these comments are insufferable

like that one flexibility guy made an entire video 2 yrs back on why hes really strong but dont look like a bodybuilder. he can do so much stuff with his body, hold so many positions, do lots of reps, lift heavy, but he looks average except from the back lol. its totally possible to be strong without looking huge.

I am a young ballerina who wants to one day go into the proffesional world. I’ve got a thicker and curvier body type, especially in my lower half. I have thick legs and I really hope to make them toned like the professionals.

My great grandmother was thin and kept having falls. Her last fall was devastating and she died not long after. Please take care of yourself. Muscle is an important investment to prevent and delay serious issues from occurring.

Skinny legs wont Protect your bones from injuries- bone density

Why click on the video if this is not your goal

I have had those chicken legs most of my life, and I HATED having my knees stick out in the front, just like it looks when old people have muscle wasting. I'm frikkin happy with basically no separation between my thighs and knees from the side! 😂 My butt is big too, but it's about exercising the RIGHT way, which involves NO KIND of squats. You need to be on all four, doing exercises against gravity.

This trend that's going on, with being skinny, and apparently, now also weak is stupid. I've been there, and the closer to it I got, the more body dysmorphia I had.

Now that i  managed to stop staring at the thighs on picture on 0.03sec (sexy), i'm able to pitch in even though no one asked me to. I get loving the aesthetic of model-slim legs, but still i cannot ignore that no matter our personal preferences, the more muscle mass (on a rational and doable level of course) the better our metabolism, health and longevity. Given the fact that women often suffer from sarcopenia and osteoporosis when older, intentionally skipping weight lifting on legs our biggest muscle group seems really wrong to me from a health perspective. But of course, you do you. As long as you stay fit and healthy no biggie i guess. I just wanted to pitch in my comment for other girls and women to read in case they forgot about these factors when it comes to our training routines.
