I'm so active and athletic and try like hell to get more muscular and defined calves ... to no avail. I guess we're not in agreement w/ our genetics. |

make-up-junkie | I guess I'll accept it...haha on Sep 15, 2009 @ 05:24 pm
spotty- wish I had your genetics! ;)
happywifehapplife and mizzrobin - ur right I will just have to accept it and I'm glad I'm not alone (but I doubt your calves are really as big as mine are! it's like I have scary man legs on a petite body!) :( |
mizzrobin | psh! on Sep 16, 2009 @ 11:07 am
I am sure your calves aren't as big as mine! I will measure and let you know next time I see ya! hahahah! At least you have a petite frame to go with it! |
tigerlilly | Is it muscle or fat? on Sep 17, 2009 @ 06:42 pm
The only way I can think is to exercise - cardio and strength training focusing on your lower body. You should be able to burn away some of that fat and tone the muscles in your lower body. |
make-up-junkie | definitely not fat on Sep 17, 2009 @ 06:53 pm
tigerlilly- my calves have always been easy to build muscle ever since I was a kid. if you touch my calves it's not soft and flabby but very solid. yah I think hardcore cardio and strength training will help tone but I don't want to make my calves more muscular... |
mizzrobin | same here... on Sep 18, 2009 @ 06:22 am
mine are muscle! People are always asking if I play soccer! hahah! |
spotty | measurements on Sep 20, 2009 @ 05:06 am
Ok, I felt compelled to measure to see how big is big and how small is small.
I measured 6" down from my knee cap. Then from there I measured the
girth of my calf, non-flexed. Its 14". Sorry for the US
measurements. In metric try for 15 cm down from your knee cap. My
girth was 35.5 cm.
I know, I'm a dork! :-) |

Oh, one more thing, b/c I am short (5'2") 6" seemed more or less the meatiest part of my calf. |
