First of all, ankles can be slimmed. I have seen various treatments applied and have witnessed most suecessful results.
Beauty parlours make a speciality of this particular problem and aecomplish surprising reductions, providing you are prepared to take what they call "deep massage." And when they say "deep" they mean deep.
But do not be afraid that they will wring your ankles in two. It only feels like it, and that, after all, is a small matter in so good a cause.
For the calves they do a similar movement, with a little "hacking" thrown in, This requires neither horse nor saddle, but merely a pair of good strong hands and the equivalent of elbow grease.
If so desired, you can do sorfié- thing the same for yourself at home by hitting briskly with the outside edge of your hand (in a line from little finger to wrist) first on one side of the calf and then on the other. If you happen to have one of the vibrating' belts for slimming, you can use this on ankles and legs for vibrating the inches away.
