I've always had heavy calves, simply because that is how my body is built. Some of it is fat, and this is one of the places where I see fluid retention immediately. Exercise has, if anything, taken them down in size, but not by much, as it's simply my genetic lot in life.
Still, when I felt low-spirited about them the other day, and started googling "calf reduction," I came across this article & began to wonder about myself & what kind of aesthetic standard I've got in my head. This really made me rethink how I feel about my body.
