Step 1: Loosen and strengthen your calves

In fact, if you want to slim down your calves, you should first check whether your calf muscles are loose or tight. If your muscles are tight, it will be more difficult to lose weight. Therefore, the first plan to reduce calf size is to start by loosening up the firm calf fat.

Method 1

On weekdays, you can sit on the ground, raise one leg to a right angle, and beat your calf with your fist. You can do this for 5 minutes on each side.

Method 2

During holidays, you may put some bath salts on the market in the bathtub and soak your calves for a while to relax the muscles. After bathing, you should also pat your calves to speed up blood circulation.

Step 2: Strengthen fat-burning and tightening exercises

When the calves begin to become loose (or the calves are naturally loose), the next round of weight loss work is to enhance the fat-burning and tightening effects. You can do some tightening exercises every day.

1. Place the front end of your feet on a raised platform and press your feet down as much as possible.

2. Then use your calves to lift upward to raise your whole body.

Repeat this set of movements rhythmically for 20-30 times. Try to tiptoe and press down as hard as you can. It will be better if you feel a little sore. You can use one hand to hold on to something to maintain balance.

1. Lie on the ground, stretch your legs up to 90 degrees with your body, place a long towel across your instep, stretch your arms, and stand on tiptoe.

2. Press the towel down with both hands, and press down with the soles of your feet at the same time, keeping your hands and feet straight.

Repeat this set of movements 40 times to tighten your calves and make them more slender.
