Hi, I’m 53 years old and I’m 5′ 5″ tall and weigh 125lbs. I’ve always been kind of thin except my belly. I don’t really have much trouble building muscle in my upper body (arms and chest) but I find it hard to lose my belly fat. I also have very skinny legs. I’ve tried to build my calves by going up and down on my toes. If I do that too many times my toes start to hurt. I can’t go to the gym to workout (my husband) so thats all I know to do. When I do exercise my calves they just tighten up and get smaller. What else can I do? Please help me. I would love to wear dresses and shorts in the summer but I am to embarassed. Thank you for your opinion. Dona

I’ve always been a small framed girl. I’m now 53 years old and my calves will never grow. They are rediculously small. The more I try to exercise them the smaller and tighter they get. I can’t go to the gym to use their leg machines so all I can do is raise up and down on my toes. What do you think I can do to make my calves grow? My toes start hurting when I try to go up and down enough to think I might be making some progress. Help me. Thanks so much. Dona

@ Liam: Awesome dude. Glad you got started. I’m 99% sure I’m going to go to Thailand this May to do Muay Thai Training too! Except, I’m pretty sure we’re going to go to Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket. How do you like your camp so far?

Caleb, this might be the best article you could have ever written. If I only had one chance, one article to read to motivate, inspire, and instruct me on my diet and health (or success in general) this would be it. I have emailed you numerous time with multiple questions i had on the topics diet and training, BUT THIS ARTICLE TRULY ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS ONE MAY HAVE ON THE SUBJECT OF DIET, TRAINING, AND SUCCESS AS A WHOLE. I strongly encourage you to repost this article again (on your main page) so new veiwers of this site can see that this is the only article they would ever need to read, EVER! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hey Caleb – you are spot on with this. All 5 of your reasons are mental. Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain weight, develop lean muscle mass, bulk up, run a marathon, or anything else that is a physical challenge, you first have to do it mentally. Thanks for the reminders!

Gurmeet,

Your body gets stretch marks because your muscles grow faster than your skin can “keep up”. In other words your muscles get bigger faster than your skin can stretch and that leads to essentially “micro tears” in your skin, that show up as stretch marks.

The good news: they tend to fade with time… although how much they will fade is not certain.

Best,
Caleb
