How can you slim down muscular calves?

Question

I have always had muscular calves (and no I do not have cankles) but lately I made the mistake of doing about 45 minutes a day on the eliptical making my calves even larger, at least in my opinion. I switched to running recently thinking that would help, and although they seem to have stopped growing. I was hoping the running would elongate the muscles, but it hasn't seemed to help. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Try doing stretches to slim them down, and don't do anything to make them bigger....

As a former dancer, I understand your pain.lol (:

Answer 2

swim it doesnt work ur calves and if ur looking for a great cardio exercise it's like 2-3x effective as running cuz it's like whole body workout it's great i think it's so much better than running too! but when i say swim it's like swimming laps otherwise stop running to make ur calf muscle reduce

Answer 3

try not working out ur legs as much as you have been
