Question
Hi!
I recently started doing jump roping every day..I normally take like 10~20 second breaks after I do a hundred and do it again until I go to 1000 jumps. Will it make my calves skinnier or increase in circumference? I really wanna lose the circumference..not gain more muscle tissue..

Answer
Cant say because I dont know your body or your previous exercise history. Not sure why you would want skinny calves instead of muscular calves, but if your calves are getting bigger than you want, you will need to do something else instead jump rope.  Or at least reduce the amount of jump rope you do.
