Boot emergency - best way to slim off fat calfs?

[ZZMum]

Just bought most gorgeous pair of boots of internet - bit daft given voluptouness of calfs but could not resist .. and sadly the zip is also resisting doing up on said beauties..

So, any advice on how to slim down legs - what exercises would work - probably do need to lose 1.5 stone (actually no probably about it)..

Does running slim off legs or create muscles of steel and huge girth - I have to wear them, prepared to do what it takes!

Thanks!

I have the same problem.. My mum keeps telling me to cycle?
Wide leg boots are always so unfashionable!

Heel lifts are good for toning calfs. Stand with your feet flat on the floor, lift heel up, hold for 3-5 secs, lower, repeat.

thanks - shall try the heel lifts whilst considering theh cycling!

I have large calfs, I get wide legged boots off internet but you're right, finding trendy, nice ones is very hard.

Without wishing to put a downer on you, I cycle, run, weight train and have varied my weight by 3 stone over the years and my calfs have remained the same. I suppose it depends if your calf is muscley (just big!) or actually fat! (my thighs are fat and i can imagine them getting thinner but my calves are solid and I think they are just big)

Large calves are rubbish!

(plus I don't even know how to spell them calfs, calves - isn't that a cow?)

LOL Me too I've been considering the cycling for YEARS

MissDuje - yes did originally write calves but thought that made them sound even bigger .. thanks for your input - sounds like we suffer the same curse of the calf.. quite depressing to think I could lose 3 stone and be an anorexic waif atop my thunderous calfs..

I love these boots SO much - looks like it will have to be lipo hence making the bargainous boots less bargainy!
