I think I have sort of thin legs compared to the rest of my body, mostly my calves I think. Can anyone suggest any exercises - gym or otherwise - to add a bit of muscle to them?

Thanks :cool:

Knee Extension

* Lie on your back with one leg straight and the other leg bent so the foot of the bent leg is flat on the floor.

* Perform one set of reps, then repeat with the opposite leg.
* When the exercise gets too easy, try adding ankle weights.

Knee Raise - Standing and Twisting

* Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width and your hands behind your head.

100% agree. This, in my opinion, is the best leg excersise. But be carful if youre going to do it withought a machine, I mean using only bar and wieghts, it can be a little dangerous.
