Looking at my fat ankles all I could think was how do I get rid of my cankles!
If you're suffering from cankles, the odds are you desire to do something about them and you desire to see the results instantaneously. Believe me, I've been there and though the cure for cankles is not essentially quick, there are ways for you to hide your cankles in the meantime. So let me outline a few methods for you to cover your cankles, while at the same time, getting rid of them as quickly as likely.
The easiest means to hide your cankles is through clothing. Trousers, long skirts and dresses may clearly cover your cankles totally while you work to get rid of them.
If you choose this technique of cankle disguise I'm guessing that you're enormously conscious of your cankles so you have to launch a full scale attack against them! Try cutting down on your salt / sodium eating and increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat, as this helps to reduce water retention and weight gain. Also, try gentle work out (swimming is best) for half an hour every other day and do precise leg exercises (such as calf raises) on the opposite days to build and tone leg muscle and lose weight overall.
If you feel a bit more sure about your legs, footwear can be a great way to hide your cankles while still being capable to wear shorts and skirts. Boots that come to higher than your ankles can hide up your sins, but be sure want a style that can go with your clothing, the last thing you want is to draw attention to your lower legs. If you don't like the idea of boots, you can even wear longer socks with your shoes and ruche them slightly around the ankles. This works particularly well if you have "skinny cankles". Proceed with caution here though, your socks can make or break your look and, again, you don't want your cankles to look worse.
If you are opting for footwear to cover your cankles, I'm guessing you're a little more confident about how they look. At this stage you are trying to figure out how to be doing a half hour's light work out and explicit leg workouts six days of the week (taking one day off for the muscle to get chance to repair) to really tone up your body and define your calves. You should also take particular effort to drink plenty of water and keep your salt eating low as this will help reduce puffiness in the ankle area.
So the idea of sporting boots or long socks doesn't appeal? Fear not, there are techniques to disguise your cankles even when you have them fully on display! This technique involves fake tan, which you can put on yourself or have a professional to do. You may probably have heard of the "double dip"? This is the process where your body gets a light all over tan, and then a slightly darker colour is applied around your muscular areas to create the illusion of definition, and it is possible to do this at home. I would recommend utilizing a body lotion with fake tan in it rather than a proper fake tan, at least at first, though.
Bearing your cankles like this is a sure sign of cankle confidence so you're probably in the final stages of beating them for good - congratulations! To finally get rid of your cankles you need to step it up a notch. Make sure you're doing a variety of lower leg workouts six days a week as there are many muscles in the lower legs that can benefit from this. Some of the best workouts are calf raises, lunges and squats and you can find instructional videos for each of these on YouTube. Keep up your swimming (or other light exercise) and really concentrate on eating a variety of fruit and veg each and every day and drinking lots of water.
This full process of getting rid of your cankles may not be that quick, but it will work and with the cankle camouflaging tips I've addressed here, no-one have know you ever had cankles in the first place!
