Calf raises
You know the drill; after all it is just calf raises. But just make sure not to slam down on your heels on the way down. Make a brief pulse after reaching the top. Maintain your form by tensing your abdominal muscles throughout the exercise. Bend knees slightly to prevent your knees from locking up. Keep your arms in front of your body slightly bending at the elbows. It is a body weight exercise. That means no weight. Note that using weight may increase the size of your calf muscles. Do 3 sets of 10.
Seated calf raises
Sit on a low chair or steps you can use to adjust the height of the surface you will be sitting on. Place between 5-10 pounds of dead weight on your legs, maintaining the sitting position. From here you are going to do calf raises, lifting the weight you have resting on your legs. Doing seated calf raises lowers the intensity of you calf work. This translates into making you less prone to build large calf muscle making your legs look big.
Checkpoint Don’t forget to stretch between each calf work exercise
Hops
Hop, don’t jump. These little back and forth movements give you great calf work. What you are going to have to do is find a spot giving you enough space to stretch your arms out without hitting anything. Then, you are going to start to hop. First, forward in front of your body. Then, then back to where you started. Do 30 seconds to 1 minute each set. And don’t forget to give yourself enough time to recover between sets.
Skater hops
These hops are going to require a little more coordination than regular hops. You may be tempted to have to choose between hops and skater hops, but just know that they completely different areas of your calf. That is why you should use regular hops as an excuse to skip out on skater hops.
Squat to calf raises
Leaning over too for when you squat and doing squat to calf raises are two entirely different animals. So, instead of paying attention to your form squatting you may just want to alter you exercise. What you are going to do is after completing a squat without activating your calf muscles is activate your calve muscles by finishing with a calf raise.
Yoga
Doing yoga is good for stretching and toning your muscles. I know. I know. You are probably thinking, “Save it for the birds.” One thing that people who practice yoga like to boast about that it works the body mind and spirit as a whole in addition to helping you deal with emotions. On the other hand, if you’ve ever sat in on yoga class, you would notice how most yoga poses require a considerable amount of effort from you calves. That is you get the calf work you need to make your calves smaller, all while you stretch.
The importance of dehydrating connective tissues to slim calves
The main reason why your calves may be swelling up is due to water retention, also known as edema leg swelling. The number of women suffering from calf swelling late in the evening, especial right around the time you get off work, is not few. That is why it is so important to dehydrate the connective tissues in your legs.
That is why when you are trying to slim down you calves, dealing with edema leg swelling is the only way.
