Running. Jogging. Walking. Jumproping and yes skipping all fall into aerobics. You will not get bulky doing aerobics...In fact the fatest way to lose weight is to weight train, since muscles require more energy to build, done properly you will not get big.
Let me break it down.
In order for someone to get like Arnold, you must train a certain way. The way muscles get bigger is by lifting a heavy weight, one you can only lift about 6-8 times. Lifting of these heavy weights cause tears in your muscles. Tiny tears. It's when these tears heal that muscles grow bigger. This is why weight trainers who want to get big often train every other day and load up on protein, which help rebuild muscle.
Now, for toning, you don't want to make these tears. You want to work your muscles just enough. This is done by lifting a weight you can lift about 12-15 times. You will not get bulky this way, but your muscles will work just enough to require energy to burn.
I recommend you do aerobics in general everyday. Whatever you can. You will not get bulky doing any type of aerobics, with an exception of swimming (since there is a lot of resistance), but it will be more of a toning than a chunky, bodybuilder look. Running in place burns about 700 calories an hour
If you're looking to get toned, 30-60 mins of aerobics everyday + light weight training every other day is the best way to go.

i have larger thighs in preportion to my claves but still wear minis. although i do wear quite dark black tights/leggins to give that slimming effect but mainly because its winter and i like that look!
But what I do when I have time is I lay one side on the floor, and lift up the leg, put it down.... At least 50 times for each leg. And keep the leg straight.
