Unless you are a 6-foot woman with very long legs, 3 mph is quite a brisk walk.
I've had my treadmill for about a year and have lost 65 lbs. (diet, too). I've heard from family and friends that I'm losing mostly in the legs and butt. I don't know if that is because of the type of exercise I do (mostly treadmill). I started out walking at about 2.5 mph and now do 3 mph for 45 minutes every day.
I have been debating starting pilates, as it's been recommended to me to focus on muscle groups and tone them. Maybe you could try that.
Here's their website: http://www.winsorpilates.com/

brisk walking for 30-60 mins a day will not create muscle bulk, i promise. ive been doing that exact thing for 3 months now and my legs more toned if anything. even 20 mins wouldnt make your legs bigger.
however if you sprinted each day, for a short time, this would create bulk. its all about how long you work the muscles for.
low intensity exercises *walking etc, do not create bulk.

I would say brisk walking. You may wish to try also stretching and lateral leg raise.

begin with brisk walking...
slowly increase mph for max results...
cardio will not create bulk...
