How to slim down calves?
First, you can't loose muscle, your calves are probably big because of genetics and it's probably one of the places where genetically fat will collect. Second, think about it, if you are walking that's exercise Right..so HOW would walking make you lose muscle in your calves? It may cause a little fat to burn but it will just be replaced with muscle AND you can't tell your body where to lose fat. You will burn fat everywhere NOT just in your calf muscles. You could always go see a plastic surgeon to see if you can have the fat sucked out.
How do I slim down bulky calves?
Well your not wrong running can slim down calves as well as walking, calf raises any endurance aerobic activity along with a proper diet with regular exercise, you wont bulid up muscle unless you overload keep it simple with plenty of rest periods. I would suggest: - Pilates Some like to do a bit of Pilates, which helps to achieve long, lean legs. When you purchase Pilates exercise videotapes or DVDs, you can find a few which target this area. This method is good because it does not use resistence training, which sometimes leads to bulk. Pilates is similar to yoga. - Swimming Helps to trim the legs instead of bulk them up. When swimming, try to do a few leg drills, as well as use a kickboard while on your back and the reverse. Swimming works well because it doesn’t deal with any weights that can lead to bulk. - Bike Riding Helps to trim the legs instead of bulk them up. You can do this by riding a stationary bike in the comfort of your own home or by taking the bike riding to the streets. The advantages of biking in the house are that you don’t have to go anywhere and you can pass the time by watching a little T.V. The advantage of biking outside is that you get a chance to get some fresh air while passing by changing scenery. - Walking You can slim down your lower legs by walking because it lengthens the muscles between the back of the knee and the ankle. Walking 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes is a good start. Not only does walking stretch out and help the shape of your legs, but it is also good for the rest of the body. - Stretching Stretching lengthens bulked-up muscles. (maybe ask a fitness instuctor for some stretching exercies Hope this works for you good luck:)

How do i slim down bulky kalves
Are we talking "muscle bulk" or just all around bulkier? If it's muscle bulk, your workouts are incorporating too much calf work. Meaning that you are conditioned to use more force at the pads of your feet to push off. This may just be your genetics. The only way to stop the "muscle bulking" is to cut back on the intensity of your run. Another scenario is that your muscles are finally at their potential and the cells are volumized. Inactivity makes cells flat and weak and since you've been running and jogging, you have caused the cells to revitalize and "puff up" to what they are supposed to be. If it's just all around bulkier, it may be excess water. This is more common in females. Agitation and the shock absorbing motion of the lower calf causes the tissues to swell. Swelling requires more fluid. Since water will gravitate to lower areas, these tissues will swell up. It's a great human response to shuttle fluids to areas of agitation for protection (think of a blister) or intense muscle workouts to flush out acids and keep the muscles hydrated. However, these days, we are more concerned with how things appear, rather than the prupose for why they are that way. One note of caution. If they are bulkier due to water, the longer they stay that way or the longer that the body area is subjected to activities that cause this response - the more likely it will be for the water to habitually accumulate there. So if it is muscle, you have to back down on the calf work. If it is water, eat better, intake even more water and keep your sodium (salt) intake to a minimum 1400mg per day. "Wherever salt goes, water goes. Where ever water goes, salt has to follow" (If you want to know the side effects of sodium to your body's appearance, please feel free to email me). By keeping your sodium intake low, you can prevent your body from storing excessive amounts of water which should help prevent your skin from stretching and looking puffy. Hope this helps. Have a GREAT workout!
