CANKLES WHAT ARE THEY AND SOME UNIQUE WAYS TO EXERCISE TO GET RID OF THEM

THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE WAYS TO IMPROVE CANKLES- WRITTEN BY ANGELA KIELAR, CPT

What are cankles, you ask? The Urban Dictionary has quite a few definitions and here is the top rated one: The area in affected female legs where the calf meets the foot in an abrupt, nontapering terminus; medical cause: adipose tissue surrounding the soleus tendon, probably congenital, worsened by weight gain and improved in appearance only by boots. From the English "calf" meaning wide portion of the lower leg, and "ankle" meaning slender joint of leg with foot.

On a recent Good Morning America clip , Juju Chang offers a history of the cankle outbreak, explaining they're "associated with pregnant ladies, the elderly, and the obese, but even skinny people can suffer from the 'curse of cankles.'" (Both Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston have been afflicted!)

Brandy "Gotta pocket full o' sunshine" B. says: I was standing behind this girl at the bank about a month ago. She was pretty, probably about a size 6, her hips were a bit big (total hourglass features). Anyhow, she had on a tank top and some capri's... her ankles were the same EXACT size as her calves..no joke. I felt so bad for her...it's like her legs had eaten her ankles and somehow just flowed into her flip flops.

Men do not seem to like cankles at all. Tim "I’m going to shaBOOMS" o. says:
I was always told it means the girl is gonna be big when she's older... cankles(bad legs in general) are a deal breaker

July is cankles awareness month. New shows mentioned some solutions:
Traditional calf exercises, Squats with heel raises, Jumping rope, Liposuction.
Style expert and author Sam Saboura tells Gold's Gym cankle-frighteners to avoid sandals and shoes with ankle straps, tight "skinny" jeans that bunch at the bottoms and bright socks. Stick to wedges, boot cut jeans and flowy fabrics around the lower leg for effective cankle camouflage.

Here are some new ideas from American Council on Exercise certified personal trainer, ANGELA KIELAR, of Fitness Rx, Farmington Hills, MI
Begin a step mill exercise program for a minimum of 30 minutes per day five days per week
Climb stairs as often as possible
Purchase shape up shoes and wear them a minimum of 30 minutes per day, every day
Lose weight
Do not bring attention to your cankles by wearing Capri pants and shoes with ankle straps
No ankle tatoos
You can always hide your cankles if you choose!
