Cellulite and Cankles exercises?

I have been told I have “cankles”. I know I have chunky calves but this was the first time I was told this after I wore a knee length skirt for the first time in a decade.
I am slim but I have cellulite lots of it including my calves. My knees are also fatty. I have a photo which is a bit blurry as I took it through a mirror so cellulite not clear on the photo.
What exercises would help improve tone my lower legs?
I have started running, doing squats and lunges and fire hydrants. Anything else I can do?

Who in earth told you that? What a dick!

I am with you OP, very similar legs. Even when I was a size 8 I had chunkier legs. Your legs are fine it’s just the way our fat is stored and different shapes. Some women have really tiny bony ankles and I think it’s just natural on them.

I think probably cardio is best to lose fat generally. I’m not sure how you target ankle fat??

How rude! Your legs look absolutely fine. I think I have straight up and down legs including cankles. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do about it so I will see if you get any suggestions!

The back leg is blurred, so can't comment, but the front leg does not indicate cankles. Your critic is rude and unkind - I hope you don't have to see much of them. If you want to exercise, please ensure you focus on general fitness and forget about your ankles. I feel very angry on your behalf.
