How to get great legs?

I'm 5'3, so my legs aren't that great as it is. I feel like I look horrible in dresses. My legs feel so stubby and "boyish" And to top it off, my stomach has absolutely no curve to it. How can I get great legs? I want to really target my butt and thighs, without squats and lunges. For some reason, when I do them, my legs shake and I can't hold it. I'm not trying to lose weight, just tone up. Would using a stationary bike work? How long each day should I use it?

I just recently started doing tabata squats, because I don't like original squats either, im 5'2 and 102, small framed, Ive only done the tabata squats once so far, but a day later, I saw a difference in my legs and thighs,more toned, and butt, I am gonna keep doing them, only thing is, u have to rest for 2-3 days afterwards because your legs will be sore, but it goes away. I also do stairsteps, 20, just running up and down the stairs, which is one complete stairstep, i started with 15 then moved up to 20 a week later, stay hydrated during this too. I do these 2-3 days a week, but diet is important too, make sure you are eating enough , so you dont lose weight doing these, but ull gain definition and muscle, for the stomach, crunches work, do some before you go to bed, with the squats and the crunches, ur body shape will change, and u will see a curve, I didnt have one before either, now i do, of course every body is different, but thats why u gotta do trial and error to find out what works for you, gluck

ur welcome, thanx 4 best answer, hope they're working for you, I really think they're more effective than original squats when you're straining to get back up, these you just pop up with a burst of energy :) but you gotta pace yourself or you'll run out of energy happened to me once, lol.

Squats make them bigger. You should do yoga and lots of running and drink plenty of water.

I have the same problem, im 5"1 so my legs look all short and fat.. ive heard that walking is great for toning them up so thats what im gonna do..
hope this has helps
xxxxxxx

sorry, no matter what you do, you'll NeVER get great legs!!!! Hahah =)

Plenty of walking

there is nothing, that let presses, squats, hamstring curls, and calf raises cannot do.. they will give u great results.. try doing those once a week... twice a week maxiumum....

and no, a stationay bike will do very little in achieving what u want.. no resistance with that.... take my advice..

you need 3 sets of each exercise,
