I'm a very avid jogger because I've deduced in my head that it's the only proper way to burn all the calories I eat.
But I'm having trouble accepting my calves, which are quite muscular now.
I don't like it. And I want them to shrink.
DearAbby92 answered Tuesday June 26 2007, 2:07 pm: Try exercises that are meant to slenderize, not build muscle. Pilates, Yoga, swimming, and even trying ballet can help. Streching a lot will also help. You can do other forms of cardio besides running that don't focus a lot on the legs.

They usually think it's because I'm a gymnast and cheerleader, but actually it's just the way I was made... my parents both have big calf muscles, too. I've finally realized that there's really nothing I can do about it. You just have to accept it. And besides, some people think it looks good. Girls sometimes tell me they wish their calves looked like mine. And some guys say its sexy! So even though I'd like them to be smaller, I try to remind myself that it's just one part of my body, and focus on the parts that I like. =] [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

If you stop,
the muscles will shrink.
Try other exercise.
Crunches,
sit-up,
weight lifting.
