It all depends on what exercises you are doing. Is it muscle or fat? If it's muscle than I wouldn't worry about it. It's hard to have fat in just the lower legs..unless you are talking about the area just above your ankles. It your calves are really toned then I would say that is a good thing. Most women(including myself) love toned calves(so do men on women) and have more problems with the thighs....so if your thighsare looking good...I won't worry about the calves......

Do you wear heels on the regular. I found that once I started wearing heels on an everyday basis, that my calves got HUGE from the constant work on them and I had to totally cut out heels.

Have your calves always been large. Mine are, and it's just genetic. I'm a pretty thin chic, but people are always looking at my calves like Woa!

No I dont wear heels and no it hasnt always been large...its probably been like this for maybe 2 years now...I just really wanted an exersise to help them reduce.

Try doing lots of calf raises(on your toes) without weight. Less weight and higher reps means less bulking up (muscle wise). You might want to PM Carrie she can definitely give you some tips...
