Hi! I understand what you mean. :-)
These behind muscles are called biceps. To reduce them you have to work less on that area. I mean, you have to avoid excercises that increase those muscles (=bicycle, ascent & descent stairs a lot, sitting on your legs much time..) for a while. If you stop excersising at all the muscles will be decreased >>>but this area is going to be increased in fat. But if you continue some excersise (Prefer stretching excersises,yoga,walking or even fast walking/"light running" but never running!!!) it will help you "increase" [-not much of course-] some muscles in other areas of your legs among the fat and the biceps will be reduced. So your legs are going to look more equal and smooth.
Just eat normal. It's ok if you eat a sweet or something more sometime but try to eat healthy. If you are already too slim then you have to put on some weight (around 1 kg maybe) because otherwise you might look "musclier". But if you have normal fat just continue eating as you do now. You will see changes in the next 1-2 months.
And remember, you are 16 years old and you body changes all the time, even you see it even you don't, so don't wait for fast changes and don't give it up!
You're gonna make it! ;-)

These are your calf muscles. If they are musular you can't do anything to reduce them short of surgery or injury and that would likely cripple you. If you don't exercise, they will get larger, because your muscles will go flabby on you and be less dense/take more space.

If they are flabby, the opposite is true and you can reduce your calf size with target toning. Do reps of tiptoes and back down or sand volleyball or walking, or walking or jogging. Watch impact and weight training with squats, etc these are for your front thighs (quads) anyway. Anyway, be careful that you don't hurt your knees trying to develop your legs.

Fat loss is also supported by strength training anywhere in the body because improving muscle tone affects your metabolism esp in the major muscle groups. The major muscle groups (where this is most significant) are thighs and abs, if I'm not mistaken. And metabolism I think is also affected by cardio and aerobic exercise. Metabolism, of course, being how stingy and efficient or wasteful your body is at burning fuel. If you are fat, you want your body to waste it, this is the opposite of starvation or famine mode.

All this to say, if you need to tighten up your body anywhere, you can improve those areas with overall weight training and cardio.

Women sometimes have overly muscular legs from extensive fitness routines but on average, a woman can't get as beefed up or even as "ripped" as a man can anywhere on the body without a whole lot of extra workouts, or help from nutrition and weight gainer powders, or steroids...so I would check your body image too...maybe your legs are fine, or maybe you need to quit messing with your body chemistry with regard to hormones, steroids, etc. Who knows what women are thinking about their bodies these days...not assuming, just saying. If this is your situation that could be why. If not, please forgive me, I am glad to be wrong.

I too have big calf muscles. I think its important that you not give it too much thought because you are still so young. I'm older and I love my legs. I get it from my mother. One day you'll think its beautiful. If you do a lot of running this will also make your muscles more defined, but if you don't take care of them they will just look flabby. I wouldn't recommend trying to do anything about these muscles because they can be sensitive and I wouldn't want you to really hurt yourself

If you're buying only a few items, skip the cart in addition to carry a basket.

Get your book group to slip on sneaks and chat moving around.

Skip waiting locations. When you have an visit, check in and then setting off for a walk until the actual receptionist phones you.

When collecting your kids from school, escape the car and greet them using a hug instead of waiting in the car curbside.

Take a lap around the grocery store before starting shopping.
