Is running good for weight loss in your legs?

I’d like to either lose weight in my legs, or at least tone them nicely. Even if they remain about the same size but turn to muscle I’m fine with that.
Would running with a Wii fit work to achieve this if I only run for 10-20 minutes a day? I have a disability which prevents me from doing more than that unfortunately. Will this be sufficient enough to achieve weight loss in my legs or tone them, or is there nothing I can do since I can’t push myself more than that?
Thanks!

Running is good for health and fitness
no matter what i do, my legs always stay the exact same size. my stomach will change and my arms with somewhat change, but never my legs. for some people its the other way around, sometimes you cant target certain areas.
ps- i love wii fit =)
You would probably get more result from a bicycle.
Lower impact and a lot greater articualtion.
It gets the whole package from calves, to hamstrings to quads and best yet the glut.s.
any type of exercising it wonderful and will help you further tone yourself. diet right, and do whatever you can do and you’ll see improvements!
haha, exercising will make you lose weight in an even amount all over your body. There is no way to make yourself lose weight in a specific area and only that area. But yes, you will lose weight in your legs along with the rest of your body. And i would suggest doing other cardio, such as biking or swimming in addition to running, since 10 – 20 minutes is not too long. You can also walk.
Running is good for weight loss in general. it’s an aerobic exercise which is the kind you need to do to lose weight. I’m sure 20 minutes will be fine, I have heard of 20 minute aerobic workouts, which wouldn’t be successful if they didn’t work.
