Cankles: Another Body Part That Needs Your Attention

by Miss T on July 25th, 2009

First discovered and brought to my attention by Jcoe in the GoL Lounge, I had to take a second look, and googled the latest news. Ankles – the latest body obsession - are all over the news. Below is an article I found on abcNEWS that describes the whole ankle fuzz more detailed:

While you were busy worrying about “muffin-topping” over the waistband of your jeans or the “cottage cheese” on your thighs, you should have been fretting over the shapeliness of your ankles.

A growing number of Americans are working to eliminate unwanted ankle fat. “Cankles,” or less-than-svelte ankles, are the thunder thighs of the new millennium.

Summer staples like shin-length capri pants and ankle-accenting gladiator sandals have made the area where the tiba and fibula meet the latest place to obsess over.

With ankle-mania in mind, the fitness chain Gold’s Gym has humorously declared July Cankle Awareness Month. While the fitness chain is poking fun at the latest body obsession, it still offers some trimming exercise tips, including calf raises and dumbbell exercises.
