Skinnier calves? Is it possible???

sendmeonacruise · Jul 29th, 2006, 11:30 PM

I used to run almost everyday and had developed some muscular calves. Then I stopped running...and they turned into fat

Is there anything I can do to make them leaner? I hate wearing shorts and knee length skirts because I feel like my calves look so huge

I'm going to start running again....are there particular stretches I can try...???

Someone help, please?

I think this was posted before{?} . . .
Pilates and Yoga are known for lengthening muscles, you could try those.

^ Thanks!

I tried looking for the other thread, but didn't find it.

If there is one, can someone link me?

I find that running makes my calves bulkier. I totally agree with Swanky Mama of Three: PILATES! I did a Pilates tape 5 days ago and the next morning my thighs, calves, and abs were so sore! Also, if you have access to an elliptical machine, put the intensity and slope a bit higher than you're used to and voila, instant skinny calves!
