Walk everyday. That will help you slim down all over but more so the legs. Also, to tone the calf muscles as you slim down, do some calf lifts with lite weights. Stand up straight up with maybe a 5 pound dumbell in each hand. Then just stand up on your tippytoe and come back down. Do maybe 3 sets of 25 each morning. Don't use to much weight as you will bulk up the calf muscles. You said you wanted to slim them.  Try the above and then adjust as to what best suits you.

Running,jogging,and walking are simple leg work outs.  But also some weight training like squats and calf raises and leg incline lifts help as well as swimming.  A stair stepper maching works also but make sure you work all the areas of the legs so they don't develope misproportionately.  Trying going to womens health and fitness site and see their work outs

i have worn a size 12 since i was 12. more than 10 years later and i still wear the same size. i am peerfectly happy with my size and i always have been. more than likely you will slim down after you lose all your baby fat.if youre happy falt out tell your mother that you are happy with your size and wish she wouldnt try to make you feel bad about it. remember if you dont love yourself nobody else will either.\n\nPS theres no such thing as normal!!!

Cardio workout are really good. Buy a video, and some weights (5 pound or so, however is more appealing to you), and try it. The video tells you how many calories and how much strength you are getting based on how long you do it. It is fast and easy. For your calves, running is a good exercise. I am fit and I have tried this. It works.

You'll need to be strong.  \n\nExercise your calves by standing, then lifting your heels up and down: up, pause, down.  up, pause, down.  You can start by holding onto the back of a chair for balance if you need to. \n\nTo strengthen your quads, do lunges.  Step forward and dip your back leg, keeping your front leg at a 90 degree angle. \n\nYou'll also want to strengthen your inner thighs.  Do leg lifts lying on your side or get an old Thighmaster.  Or if you go to a gym you can use the thigh (and other leg machines) there. \n\nMake sure you lose weight healthfully.  Gaining muscle will help you lose the weight.  If you do increasing numbers of repetitions with little or no weight, you will get stronger without getting to bulky or heavier.  \n\nYou'll want to keep you core strong too (abs).  it wouldn't hurt to strengthen your arms too.  \n\nAlso - if you are working at a track, ask some of the exercise riders around there. \n\nGood luck to you.

Your in luck, cause the exposed skin area thats in style this year is BACKS.  So whip out your low in the back top, pair it with a cute dark colored mini, some black tights/leggings and some over the knee boots (also very hot this season).  It should be low enough on the teachers radar at school, but sizzling enough to catch your guys eye

work out your calf muscles, a simple way would be to put your hands against a wall and and just using your calves go up on the balls of your feet over and over. \n\nstronger calves will help, but some people are just born with better "hoops" than others, plus white people can't jump :)

You need to get in the weight room and do lot of low weight reps on your quads and hamies.  This will increase your force production without increasing your weight, which should increase your speed.  Working on your calves should help some, too.

Assuming you are not talking about livestock...\n\nWhile standing on tippy-toes, use your hand to feel your calf. The "rock hard" part is the muscle. The softer outer part is the skin and fat (should be relatively thin).\n\nIf you are trying to get rid of the muscle, the only way to do that is to stop using the muscle. Tongue firmly planted in cheek, you could perhaps break your legs, which will give you a 6-week excuse to do nothing. Otherwise, it is rather tough not to use your calves, since standing and walking give it exercise.\n\nIf you are trying to get rid of the fatty part... targetted dieting doesn't work. You basically have to eat fewer calories than you you use in your day. Either eat less, exercise more, or preferably both.

There are several things you can try.\n\nAnti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen or Naproxen may be helpful, taken with food.\n\nFill an empty soda bottle with water and freeze.  With a sock on, roll your heel over the ice bottle for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day.\n\nNEVER go barefoot!  NOt even to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  Always have good supportive shoes on.\n\nStretching your calf muscle may help, particularly if you have a tight achilles to begin with.  Face a wall, and place your plans on it.  With the affected leg further behind you, lean into the wall, keeping your back leg straight and the heel on the floor.  Then stretch with your knee slightly bent.\n\nIf these methods don't work, see your health care provider.  A stronger anti-inflammatory medicine may be prescribed, he or she may evaluate you for orthotics, or supports that go into your shoes.  Physical therapy may be helpful, and some people even have a cortisone injection into the heel.

A real easy way to slim them down is to lift up onto the balls of your feet a bunch of times.  Like your tippie toeing in rapid succession.  It's easy at first but after doing it about ten times you should start to feel a burn.  We do this in my karate class and it's surprisingly effective.  It's also good because you can do it almost anywhere (probably not in public though) :)

Not if it is muscle.  I have built calves and haven't been able to slim them down through exercises or machines.  The only time they got smaller is when I was sick and down to 102 lbs but at 122 they are still "sturdy" shall I say.

A great excercise that you can do if you have stairs at home, is the calf lift.  Place your toes at the edge of the stair and lift up on your toes and then sink your heels past the stairs.  Lift up and down.  These excercises are great and can tone calfs beautifully.  Do high repititions daily and it only takes 5 minutes a day.\n\nHave fun, and good luck.

Skating, jogging, elliptic, walking, that is the best workout you can do for that...\n\nI would suggest a diet additionally but just diet... Will not work...\nWomen are propense to accumulate fat in the thighs, it is recommended to stay away from fat as much as possible... for many reasons, this is one...

They don't get smaller darling I've been trying my whole life!!! I've done every imaginable exercise. I've resorted to just living in really high heels all the time they make them look a little smaller. I hated my calves all my life then my friend's mom told me that she also hated her's all her life too until she got into an accident and they were scarred then she wished they were at least the way they were before. My point is like all of your body even your calves, they're not just to make skirts look good, they actually have a function and I'm sure they do their job really well.
