    I don't want to know! I've always had big thighs and calves my entire life! ANDDDD I'm only 4'10" which makes it worse :/

    Anyone have exercise suggestions for slimming down thighs (especially inner) and calves?? I desperately could use some advice! I already do squats, inner and outer thigh press machine, sometimes lunges...

    That sounds awesome...add running to that. Long distance. Add some sprint workouts as well. You have to find your happy medium with running though. So there's plenty of research out there & suggestions for workout plans.

    Not really, you're right around my size & I don't consider my legs "rather large" I am happy my legs aren't sticks & have meat on them. Don't compare to others, you're just fine :happy:

    I realize this is a very old thread that someone just bumped up,

    But I wanted to post just because this is hilarious. I have such chicken legs.

    Height: 5'10"
    Weight: 210 lbs
    Body Fat: 31%
    Thighs: 20"
    Calf: 14"

    Considering that my calves and thighs are the same size as people with like 135lbs and such.... hahaha. I've always held my weight at my stomach.

    Hi MFPals!

    I'm trying to find the average thigh and calf sizes for women online and found nothing substantial to compare myself to. I am bottom heavy and my goal is to fit in regular rain boots but am unsure what the standard calf size is for women. I want a number to set my goals to! Here are my stats:

    Calves: 14.25"
    Thighs: 21"
    Weight:117lbs
    Height: 5'3"
    Body fat: 24.5%

    Stats from women of all shapes & sizes welcome! Thanks for helping a girl out!

    Wow it's like we're twins!

    Calves: 14, 14.5
    Thighs: 21, 21.5
    Weight: 120lbs
    Height: 5'3"
    Body fat: 19-24% (depending on which calculator I use)

    Im 5ft 6"
    177lbs
    Calves 15.5"
    Thighs 26.5"
    Not sure on my BF but my BMI is 28.1

    Not sure on the average as there would have to be many as we are all different heights, i also think genes play a part ive always had quite chunky thighs, they can be lean & muscly but have never been skinny, my calves are pretty much the same but alot leaner than my thighs, ive also seen top heavy women with the slimmest of legs & no bum so who knows !
