i think that's the name for them, lol... calves = lower portion of your legs? i have pudgy calves and i really wanna tone them down for spring/summer skirts and shorts.

any good exercises (i know that you have to do cardio and lose weight overall...) specially targeted for that area?

i'd kill for legs like this!



(well, maybe those are a little too skinny for my taste... but yeah, at least they're not pudgy lol)

i believe the only way to get toned calves without getting muscles is to walk alot. running and jogging would make your calves bigger.

[some kind of therapy]

You should try slow jogging for i heard it was.. three miles? or at least three miles to slim calves. I've been doing that for maybe two or more weeks now and when i measured around my calves, they went down half an inch. It might not be much but at least it's something.

[xSOOJI]

EVERY MORNING before you brush your teeth or something, stretch them out...
and try to massage them occasionally

thats how mine slimmed down. but you really ahve to stretch everyday...
and if you want to run, run long distance atleast 2-3 miles a day...then they'll start to tone down

[ah-jefu]

I suggest:

START PLAYING DDR ahaha. it may sound wierd, but it works ^^ trust meee =)

(and play until you are exhausted. I recommend you do it in the evening before you shower, and have nothing better to do =)

I have this problem too.
My friend suggested I do kickboxing. Apparently that helps burn leg fat.

LOL, I love the ddr suggestion. haha =)

[Spiritm]

be careful the way you do it though you might get more muscle xD

[urbanature]

I'm pretty sure jump-roping would help tone down your calves.
I remember when I started jump-roping after not doing it for...years.
My calves burrrned. >_> There's evidence that it works out your calves, lol.

[dodo]

what is the speed of slow jogging?
cuz i've been running alot at the gym like 5km in 30mins
BUT
my muscles on the back of my calves are fully grossing me out
Like if i wear 2-3 inch heels the muscles i getting defined =[
I hve a formal thing soon so I need to get rid of it

[witchery]

its reeli weird because i have skinny calves but i neva, neva, neva eva exericse, and i reeli mean it wen i say "never".
but den i got ddr mat (yay!) and played ddr and now my calves hav gotten a little bit thicker coz of muscle
so i wud simply recommend walking at a leisurely pace each day
2 simply "tone" them
if u run or wateva ull just get muscle
so just dont strain those legs 2 much! hehe

[chocolateturtle]

Yeah, I walk(pretty fast since I'm late) everyday to school and from school and they really make your legs skinny, and my friend always says "dayam, your legs are so skinny" I personally don't think they're skinny but they're pretty toned, ya know? And my walking PE teacher says power walking is way better than running since you're working your legs and burning calories longer than you are with running. Also while you're walking, move your arms.. and suck your stomach in so you can get a total fitness =]

[edit]
and always stretch before you walk if you dont want muscle build-up.

[Becca*]

I sooo want thin calves
I get jealous of emo kids and their skinny jeans

[Emy]

^HAHAHA, that is so true.
I wonder how they get such skinny legs O__O

[missxsuong]

you have to distance run

[i KITTY x3 =)*]

I thought running makes your calves get more muscular.. o_O
I actually wanna tone my calves too to wear skirts/shorts T_T
But I'm too lazy to do any exercise LOL

[ilovemesomekorean]
