Calves

[run4fun]

Hi everyone,

I was reading the calves post over in the Ask Cathe forum. It was soo nice to know I am not the only one with big calves. My right one is bigger than my left by almost a 1/2 inch. Anyone else have that problem? My right is about 15 inches and my left is 14 1/2 inch. I seem to be a tad lopsided.

I do find that working the calves without weight (like Cathe does in her videos) actually makes mine slimmer.

I am lopsided too, one is 15.5 in. the other is 16 in. so I am with you there. I can get them both down to 15.5 or up to 16 but never any lower. I don't have a problem with it, I am 5 ft 7 and large boned so it just goes with the territory. The only tape I do that works calves is PS Legs and abs and you don't have to use weight for it, but I feel it. I think my calves are big from years of wearing heels and living in 2 story houses.

Once you develop your calves my dh says that they are very hard to get rid of, because you are constantly using them.:-( Oh well learn to live with what God has given you!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I too have big calves. I think besides combination exercises, calf raisers are the only thing to do. I do them without weights too, to try to thin them out. And I know cardio and over all fat loss will help. I think that is the last place the fat will come off, although most of it is muscle.
