How To Have Toned Legs and Smaller Calves?

[kuliglig^^]

I'm not a gym attendee pa naman din, pero I have huge calves and untoned legs. Niloloko na ko ng hubby ko.  Help sisses!

Naku, problem ko din po ito eh. Hehe. I'm only 21 and yet malaki na yung binti ko. My friends would tell me na may papaya na daw ako sa legs. Hehe.

I think lunges and squats will help.

Nightly 45-minute walks helped for me when I was overweight.

I want to have. Chickenegs again. My legs are almost like
Ballerina shaped. I hate it when im wearing high heels mastadong formed. Gusto ko parang barbie lang hahaha. Pano kaya yun

These are my target areas now sis. Bottom heavy kase talaga ko and they became much more obvious when I gained weight post-delivery.

Here's my routine to target those areas:

treadmill - 30 min (4x/week)
cycling - 30 min (4x/week)
lunges - 60 reps (4x/week)
squats 60 reps or until kaya (4x/week)

I've been doing this routine for a month now (plus calorie counting diet) and I have seen results. My legs are becoming slimmer kaya bumabalik na yung self-esteem ko. Hopefully by April, beach ready nako

Jumprope is a good exercise that does both cardio and tones the calves since you use the calf muscle to propel you upward when you jump.

but there's really no way to make the calves "skinny" if they're really built big. all you can do is lose as much fat in the area and tone it. it's my problem as well.

[iamshiela]

i usually do squats/plies to tone my legs, then heel raise, then a lot of running.

[mscharming]

squats and lounges sis

problema ko rin to, payatot pero yung exta fats sa legs and thighs ata napupunta ( genetic predisposition ata toh) . I've started with squats, wish ko lang hindi ako tamarin ituloy

[hearty_flakes]

me 2 same dilemma.. skinny but the legs fatty talaga he.he.he. now i do minimum of 100 squats and stationary running for 30mins.. mag 1 week pa lang ako... sana madali ang result... 

[iamshiela]

^same din ako im thin pero minsan may mga excess fats yung thighs ko. haha! if you got bored on a certain routine you can always do another routine. ako if napapagod na akong mag-squats kahit di ko matapos yung set i do running agad.

Women are really prone to pockets of fats and cellulite around the leg and thigh areas I really wish hinde ako nagpabaya dati eh ngayon, may orange peels na sa may butt area na mahirap na maalis. The only thing I can do now is lose excess weight and tone the area para hinde masyado pangit tignan. At least now, I can see the results of my hard work paying off kase nakakapag-leggings na ko ulit na hinde mukhang giant logs ang legs ko hehe Wala na din ang muffin top

Ay sorry sis, I missed that part ^^;
Thanks for sharing
by the way, nag start ka agad sa 60 reps para sa lunges and squats?
ang kaya ko pa lang is 10, so hindi ako umaabot na pagpapawisan ako e

[twelvth_goddess]

^I started with 2 sets of 10 repetitions each sis. Regarding the pawis thing, nung una kase kong naggym, hinde din ako pinapawisan. Naturally, hinde ako pawisin talaga eh. But when I changed my routine to this, pawis to the max talaga ko. I always start with cardio to warm up my muscles.

Sabe din nung PT ko, important din yung pagbilis ng heart rate in burning calories. Kaya when you rest in between your sets, dapat no more than 30 seconds. Siguro sis what you can do is to prolong the squats. Count 5 seconds each time you do the squats, chaka dapat pag nag-squat ka, naka-protrude talaga palabas yung butt mo.

You can also start trying to plank to strengthen your leg muscles and your torso.
