Can I run to make my legs slimmer? What can I do to slim my legs?
It is better to do the type of cardio first thing in the morning – this also known as fasted cardio. When you first wake up, you have not eaten anything for at least 10 or so hours. This means there is not much glycogen(carbs) in your body to be used up for energy. As a result, when you do cardio first thing in the morning, you will end up burning more fat instead. You can accumulate periods of cardio over the day. For example, you can do 3 x 15minute walks, which equals 45 minutes of exercise. However, as discussed above,the longer you exercise in a single period, the fatter you will burn. Personally though, I have experienced significant fat loss from my legs by both accumulating cardio over the day, and doing my cardio all in one hit. Resistance training is predominantly an anaerobic activity and therefore glycogen (and creating phosphate) will be the main fuel utilized, not fat, as I described above. However, weight training can help improve your metabolic rate,which in turn increases the number of calories you burn. This is important to improve your body’s overall fat burning potential. Resistance training is still an important part in getting lean and toned legs. However, you need to be careful not to do them the wrong way so you don’t pack on too much muscle and in the wrong places.
How much should you run everyday to get your legs slimmer?
First, I'm a long-time runner. Running WILL make your legs slimmer. You don't bulk up if you do a lot of training. Doing squats WILL make your legs bigger since it's muscle training and not cardio. Here's the thing. Running everyday will lead to injury. You'll end up hurting yourself from fatigue, overuse, and wear-and-tear. Try running 3 times a week for three miles. Once you do that for a month, up it to 4 times a week. Then, start doing a longer run on the weekend (5-8 miles), and three short runs during the week (Tues-Wed-Thurs 3 miles-4 miles-3 miles). You HAVE to give yourself time to heal and repair your body, or you'll have problems. Good luck!

How to get slim legs while doing taekwondo?
Doing Tae Kwon Do is supposed to be a workout for slim legs all in itself, so i am guessing you're either overweight with fatty legs(no offence), or muscular with big legs. Now if you have fat legs you could always workout harder by kicking more and kicking harder, faster and kicking very frequently, like a hundred kicks a day, or more. Muscular legs just mean that you stop working out. Don't eat as much protein and your musclemass will decrease. Don't rocket it, though. You'll lose more than what you want to lose. Your workouts should include TKD moves. It'll make you a better fighter doing that, too.
