Particularly your thighs and calves? My legs are so bulky, especially my calf muscles.... I really have been dreamin of having lean and shapely legs but how do I get them? I have been doing strength training, ChaLean Extreme, and it just seems like the muscles get bulkier, not leaner :(

    If you want the muscles to be smaller, stop excersisng.

    The only way to make muscles smaller is to get them to atrophy, which no one in their right mind would recommend.

    I've heard pilates can lengthen your muscles.

    Otherwise, no not possible. Your muscles cannot get longer, that's determined by genetics.

    No pilates doesn't.

    The only way to make your muscles longer is surgery. Otherwise they can't change length. You can only make them bigger or smaller.

    What exercises do you do with ChaLean?

    I paid good money to have one of those used on me.

    You can make them appear longer. Try The Bar Method...its tough but really works to sculpt leaner legs and strong back = longer looking stems :)

    Have you seen the movie Braveheart? That thing they do at the end might help.
