bringing back an old thread........

has anyone try the suggested exercises to slim down their calves?

during my pregnancy, my calves gained an inch and a half wide. now 15 1/2 inches in circumference. i hated my calves to begin with, now their wider and i can't fit into my boots anymore.

please provide any feedback on exercises or diet...

 

I'm in the same ballpark as you. I have big calves. I used to work on the stepmaster alot, which turned my calves into muscles, then I stopped working out and now they're all out of shape and thick. I hate it and it's embrassing especially when trying on knee high boots and I can't zip up the suckers.

I wear heels to make my calves look more slender but heard pilates works best to lengthen the appearance.
