(Cover) - EN Star Style - Michelle Williams hated her legs when she was younger.

The American singer is best known for being in Destinys Child, alongside Beyonc Knowles and Kelly Rowland. As part of the group she used to perform sexy dance routines and wear skimpy outfits, but the star wasnt always happy to show off her body.

She used to worry her legs werent in shape, but its not something she thinks about now. Michelle is currently taking part in UK dance contest Strictly Come Dancing, and hours spent practicing the quickstep and foxtrot have seen her thighs tone quickly.

My legs are more toned and defined. You know, I hated my legs growing up and always wore long pants or a long dress. But now people are focused on them so Im forced to deal with them, she said. Being petite is not something I do on purpose. I know people who weigh 250lbs. And they could be healthier than a skinny person. Ive got to eat more vegetables and drink more water.

Michelle still cant believe she is appearing on the dancing contest, and is loving every minute. Although it has helped improve her body shape its also caused her some problems, namely some dance-related injuries.

Ive got blisters on my feet and burns on my legs from falling on the floor, she laughed to Look magazine. (C) Cover Media
