All about Legs

Is it true that wearing high heels can make your calfs more toned but not bulky? I basically only wear flats , and am noticing that my calfs are getting quite big... Are there any exercises that i could do to reduce this?

My legs look a lot skinnier in heels. And you can see the calf muscle def. better too.

I really need to start exercising, especially on my legs, but in between school and my job, I just want to spend my free time relaxing. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm starting to eat healthier so I'm hoping it gives me the energy (and willpower) that I need to get in shape. Too bad I can't rely on the "growth spurt" metabolism I had when I was 15-16...those were the days..

ooh metabolism, where have you gone?!
I feel the same way, I dont work - but school takes up so much of my time now it seems impossible most days to even go. I usually just end up having to map out my week in advance and plan what times i actually HAVE time to venture to the gym. Planning helps make me go even when i dont want to - since i already allotted the time and have so few opportunities to make it there in the first place

I built up muscle pretty quickly as well. but yoga, and lots of stretching in general after workouts help me a lot.

I also thought that less resistance with more reps is better than the heavy stuff.

Hi girls,
I have a question.

I'm quite happy with my legs, barely vissible hair, not too thing or thick leggs.
But sometimes you can see my veins (not varix), and it's more visible in the summer (my doctor said it is because it's hot)
I haven't have this before untill last summer.
I'm afraid this summer it would be the same and I'm also afraid not to be aible to wear dresses and shorts

Does someone have the same experience and knows a solution?

Silvi I have very bad appearence of veins in my legs, for me it's actually genetic, I get it from my dad. And it's only going to get worse the older I get. I noticed going to the tanning bed makes them darker, so I've stopped doing that. Thank god for tights and pantyhose! :s
