Same question again…but i think it was misunderstood slightly.
I have thin calves genetically. They have become slightly thicker with muscle after two seasons of both winter and spring track. I have also been wearing ankle braces- that were thick and heavy that might’ve added some bulk to my leg. I will not be practicing over the summer much and i will take on swimming instead, or walking around. My legs are still nice, but just not as slim as they used to be.
How long would it take for the muscle from running that i don’t use as much anymore to slowly leave? And how can i speed the process of making my legs leaner? Should i diet because of i am less active now and i could return to my daily life?
I heard from a friend who did several sports that every sport she took made her legs thicker but after a few months of inactivity, her legs became slimmer- and not full of fat..just less bulky. Anyone know from experience about the changes in between seasons?

What excercise?
How long?
How many pounds lost?
NO DIETS OR CARDIO OR SPORTS. Any other suggestions?

Science and technology have transformed our lives, but made us more inactive as a result. What are the long term benefits of increased cardiorespiratory fitness? Flexibility? Strength and endurance? Reduced body fat? Which of these key components of physical fitness do you currently possess? Which ones would you like to improve or develop?
