Ye it won't slim them a would not of thought just make them more defined a would think it might help a little but nothing major if you think they have fat on them it could help a little with that but you look perfectly curved to me a would not change a thing😚

Your legs are fucking hot, I don't know why you want them to be skinnier 🤔

[Asker]

I want it slimmer lol. I think its fat

You can build muscle in specific areas, which would make them bigger, but fat loss happens over the entire body, and is affected by how your body naturally holds fat. But spot treatment is impossible

True. If anything you will build muscle. You have a big ass so naturally you have big thighs, hips and calves to go with it.

working out a body part will make that body part bigger, cause it creates muscle. you can exactly control how much muscle you want on which body part, cause stimulating a muscle makes it grow.

however the energy for the muscle does not come from the fat around it so you have no controll over where your body decides to take fat from. that's in your genetics

They won't make them smaller, they will make the upper calf bigger, which might create a more attractive ankle vs calf ratio.

Your calves look fine to me, I suspect you are visually comparing your lower leg to how women look with heels on.

you have to focus on your diet and taking long walks every day. Raising calf will get you more muscle which make it bigger.

You will have to lose overall body mass. So better diet will help. I recommend keto short term. 🖤

Walk 10000-20000 steps everyday for 3 months and do not do any other leg exercises and dont wear heels

Calf raises will make it bigger. You might lose fat in that area, but it will still get bigger, becoming more muscle than fat.

Do short burst cardio to lose overall fat. I don't think you can target legs. It probably would make them stronger and appear bigger anyway.

[Anonymous]

[DDpsy]
