What are they? "Cankles" is a combination of the words "calf" and "ankles." If you can't tell where your calf stops and your ankle starts, you may have cankles.
Where did it start? No one knows exactly who first uttered the term "cankles," but the subject came up in a well-known episode of "Friends" back in 1995.
The natural remedy: Some fitness experts say certain workouts can help. This gym dedicated a whole month to them.
Under the knife: Some women choose plastic surgery.
Stylish solution: Maybe the easiest way to get rid of cankles -- or at least the appearance of them -- is to dress around them.
Guys can have them, too: The term "mankles" was used to describe "man cankles" in a 2007 episode of "Weeds."
Not to be confused with: The Lithuanian stringed instrument known as the kankle.
I found these facts on a website. I found them interesting and a little inspiring. It also gave me a good laugh after one of the hardest weeks I have had in a long time.
Stay tuned for more important updates this weeks :)
