Jumping Rope- Makes Calves Bigger or Leaner?

[Jung Mi]

I love to jump rope. Just recently I've read about how great of a cardio exercise it is and I really want to try it out.

However, I'm worried that my calves will get bulkier from doing so. They're already big to start with, and I couldn't bear it if they became any bigger!

Has anyone used jumping rope as their exercise routine? What kind of results did you see?

Please help! Thanks so much. ​

Chances are there won't be any significant impact on calf muscle size.... especially if you are eating in a deficit.
