| How you want your calves to look like? |

2. Muscle: Simply because you are exercising the wrong muscle group.
3. Fat: No other way to look at this. Slimming therapy is one way to reduce the size of your calves. BUT legs are the hardest place to lose fat and tend to be the last place for women, so it will have to be paired with exercise and a balanced diet.
4. Exercise: If your calves bulked up because you were exercising the wrong muscle. There are ways to reverse this.

1. Cardio is a great way to lose weight overall, however, you may be unknowingly growing your calves if you are not running on a flat surface – running on an incline will increase your calf size.
2. Walking is great alternative, For the not-so-athletic – but again, do not walk up hills. You’d be pumping up your calves.
3. Any Uphill Exercises, including step machines and staircase climbing. As much as they are effective to reduce overall body fat, they are not how to get skinny legs
4. Skipping uses mostly your calves so you can run away from bulking up your calves quickly.
