Are you calves too big?
Do you want to get your calves toned and defined?
First understand that fat claves have nothing to do with having big muscular calves, the two are often confused for one another
To get your calves toned you need exercises to reduce calf muscles and size which usually means getting rid of the fat accumulation around the calf muscles
Exercises for calves work only if your calves are stocky due to accumulation of fat. The calves may be stocky due to accumulation of fat or due to stocky muscles- water retention is also a factor.
The chances of reducing the size of the calves with reducing muscle size is very unlikely and that should not be the goal.
But a great deal can be done to reduce the size of the calves which have excess fat. To determine whether your calves are stocky due to fat or muscles, tighten your calf muscles, and then pinch the top layer of fat and skin. If you have a lot to pinch, then fat is the culprit that has made your legs big. If the pinch is very little, then it's mostly muscle that is making up the bulk of your calves.
To reduce size due to fat, long distance running and walking can produce stunning results. You need at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week Fat can also be shed with the help of cardiovascular exercises to reduce calf muscles.-these include running and spinning
Exercises to reduce calf can make great grounds through aerobic type of exercises, which aims at burning fat. Running, walking, jogging, swimming, biking, aerobic classes, using a stepper, etc., are some of the aerobic activity that can help to shed fat in the calves.
The calves can be shaped by lifting heavy weights and combined with exercises like squats, lunges, and other leg exercises will help shape and firm the calves. Another means to get that balanced well proportioned body is to shape up the upper body to match your legs and calves that have bulky or stocky muscles and not fat.
Diet is also an important aspect in the slimming calf and legs process. The diet must be low on fat to avoid fat accumulation. Slimming of the legs can only be achieved through balanced diet and exercises to reduce calf.
