What are the exercises for calf muscles?

Not only men need to exercise their calf muscles, but women also need to develop their calf muscles through exercise. This is because many women have relatively thick calves. If they exercise in a special way, they can form muscular and slender calves, making women look slimmer. If you combine exercise with necessary diet measures, muscular calves will form quickly. Let’s look at the method below.

The shape and function of the calf are closely related to the muscles on the back of the calf. Therefore, in order to change the shape of the calf and effectively improve the function of the muscular calf, you must first perform appropriate exercises on the calf muscles to eliminate excess fat while reshaping the muscle lines of the leg, striving to make the muscles narrow and slender. This will make the muscular calf visually thinner.

Tight calves are usually not easy to lose weight, so the first step before and after exercise is to loosen up the firm calf flesh. The method is very simple. Sit on a flat surface, bend your feet naturally to 90 degrees, hold your hollow fists and hit the calf muscles. Alternate between your legs, and pat the sides and back of the calves from top to bottom. This patting action can also be performed before going to bed, no less than 200 times each time. It can effectively promote circulation, help relax tense calf muscles and reduce swelling.

After bathing, apply slimming liquid with fat-burning and firming effects on your legs. Sit on the bed or the floor, relax your calf muscles, and rub your calf muscle groups with the thumbs, index fingers, and middle fingers of both hands. Use a little force, and it is best to feel a slight warmth or pain. Massage each leg for about 5 minutes each time.

It should be noted that not all exercises are suitable for muscular calf training. For example, fast short-distance running and long-distance running are not suitable as methods to train muscular calves. These two types of exercises will only make the calves thicker and make the calf muscles more masculine and developed, thus making the legs even uglier. Horse stance is not suitable for women to exercise their calf muscles, because it will cause fat accumulation in the calves, making the legs thicker.
