bulky legs

Sonrisa713 Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/02/10	2004/04/27, 10:15 PM How do you tone down some overly muscular, bulky thighs? I have been doing a lot of explosive movements and work outs because I am in the martial arts and we do a lot of explosive leg work--and since summer is coming rapidly and shorts-season is approaching, how do I make my muscles more lengthy and long, as opposed to short and bulky? Do you suggest long, moderate cardio sessions? Short, high intensity? thank you for your suggestions. (And if it helps, I am 5'6" and weigh 140 lbs.)
