Hello i have a problem with my calves bulking up super easy and i really dont want that (and no other part of me wants to bulk lol). Being female i am Longing to wear all those beautiful boots out there but none fit because of my calves. I do have some weight to lose but unfortunately i dont seem to have much fat on my calves so i can blame it on that. Any suggestions? I try not to train to heavy with them and i do lighter weight and higher reps but it doesnt seem to be helping. I look forward to your input. Thanks in advance

The only other thing I can think of is to stretch them! Do toe raises and go aaall the way and aaall the way down (stand on the edge of a bench). 4-5 sets of 20, three times per week for at least 4 weeks.
By stretching them this way, you'll be able to make them look longer and a little leaner.
There you should definitely be able to see a difference!

Being a girl w/skinny calves (wish they would grow to help make my thighs look a little more proportional!)...I'm jealous. So instead of trying to shrink them, why not look for boots that fit? J.Crew makes boots with a "fuller" calf, as does Liz Claiborne (I think, might want to check some dept stores).
Good luck!

Hmm J.crew? Kirby Is that only in the states? I've tried stretchy boots here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and they still dont fit, im really bummed because i absolutly love boots :( . Do they have a website? All i can seem to wear is ankle boots i miss my long boots. Thanks for your input.

J.crew has a website - www.jcrew.com/ I just checked and they do ship to Canada. They can be pretty expensive (I always get their stuff on sale), but it's all nicely made - not cheap.
