My ankles and lower calves are really skinny compared to my thighs. I'm aiming for a thick, muscular look for my legs but I'm not gaining around the lower calf. Are there any exercises to see gains in this area?
I'm doing alot of high incline walking on the treadmill and calf exercises, but nothing seems to touch the lower part of the muscle.
Thanks!

I do seated, weighted calf raises with an 88lb (40kg) weight. I'm thinking about doing standing raises with the Smith Machine. .
I know I cant add bulk to my ankle, but surely I can exercise the lower part of my calf muscle? ie: the one that runs down the inside of your calf, under the main bulge of the gastrocnemius?

skinny ankles
Dear Gecko,
Consider your thin ankles a blessing! The muscle on my calf goes down further than I'd like (I don't have "cankles" though), and I would LOVE to have those feminine thin ankles. I'd save up my money and show them off with a pair of $695 Manolo Blahniks!
In fact, I found this website after I entered 'exercises for thin ankles' into Google because I want to slim mine down.
Go out and buy yourself a fabulous pair of high heels today!

Same! My ankles are not skinny at all and I wish they were. I think if I got fat I would def have cankles. Its weird cause my mum has the skinniest ankles ever and you would think I might have a different mum if you saw how different our body shapes are! Seriously my arms are nearly as big as her ankles haha.
