Stop exercising them. The muscle will atrophy. (Also, you'll probably lose weight rather than gain it; muscle is more dense than fat.)

If you have been running about 15 miles a week for one week is it common to gain some weight at first but eventually start losing weight?

yes the extra weight you gained is just muscle... your legs are burning fat and gaining muscle. you'll lose size in your thighs and whatnot, but the "weight" you're gaining is muscle (which weighs much more than fat). try not to judge your body by the number displayed on the scale. try measuring your thighs once a month or something. i promise they'll get smaller, and then they might actually grow in size a little but they will be toned and firm


How do you gain weight on stomach and lose weight on legs?

That sounds like a really weird desire. Losing weight on legs would be through losing some weight all over, and not doing any strenght building exercises for the legs. For gaining weight on stomach I have no idea, unless you can get pregnant.


How can you make your legs smaller?

"Big" legs are caused by an increase in the amount of muscle and fat buildup in the leg area. If the person is overweight, then the leg consists mostly of fat and muscle needed to support the weight of the individual. However, if the subject is low in weight and feels that their legs are "too big," this is either due to genetics or too much workout on the legs. The best way to achieve smaller legs is to go running (though it will construct the legs into a muscle power hard as rock). If running only causes your legs to blow up by muscle gain, then the legs were small to begin with. Also, running gets rid of the cellulite gathered around the thigh area, creating a smoother look on the thighs rather than the ripple effect from the cellulite. Overall, losing weight can have the same effect as gaining smaller legs. This is through experience and not through any type of superficial knowledge.
