Will running 30 minutes 3 days a week on an elyptical machine make my legs bigger, thinner, or neither? I have chicken legs and don't want to get any worse, but, I kinow I need cardio for overall health.

depends. it sounds like you don't have a lot of fat on your legs, but getting cardio exercise will burn fat, and your legs would lose a little fat, and get skinnier. at the same time, you are building muscle, so your legs could increase in size. if you are wanting to build muscle, do some additional leg exercises, or do the elliptical at a higher resistance. it would be reasonable to expect your legs become more toned, but you shouldn't expect a huge difference in size based only on doing the elliptical.
