What exercises can slim tree trunk calves and thighs because the rest of the body is thin?

Answer 1

Muscular calves

Unfortunately this is largely genetic, I have bulky legs too, and I'm a size 4 US. Cardio doesn't help, neither does any exercise I can think of. I've stretched and stretched. Don't notice much difference either. There's surgery in Korea, it cuts out part of the muscles.

I noticed that people who've been immobilized usually experience reduction in muscle tissue. Maybe we can sit in a wheelchair for six months.

ANSWER:

Common reasons for large calves include:

1. Genetic: You may have inherited your calves from your parents.
2. Exercise: Inadvertently exercising in a way that increases the calf muscles.
3. Gait: You may be overusing your calf muscles when walking.
4. Fat Tissue: Rather than having large calf muscles, you may actually have a lot of fat around that area, making them look big and bulky.

To slim large calves:

• Avoid walking on the ball of your foot, keep your heel down.
• Running for longer distances can slim down calves.
• Stretching can lengthen muscles and make them look leaner and longer.
• Pilates can also help elongate legs.
• Avoid exercises that will build muscle mass in the calves, such as the step machine or walking up steep hills/ high incline on the treadmill.
