How to slim down our calves especially for people who tend to build up muscles too easily?

Go on a high fat no excercise diet. But your calves should be in proportion with your body. Its hard to get a massive amount on your calves if your body is not proportionate (while the reverse isn't true) its kind of like your forearms.

Leaner doesnt necessarily mean you have to "work them out" - you may want to try Pilates or Yoga - remember to stretch..\n\nLeg extensions will help as well - you can find most routines for this on line - extensions of the leg in exercise fashion will help get the leaner look ... \n\nhope this helps

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) :)

If you are already sound in your volleyball skills, conditioning seems to be your problem. Building your calf muscles and strengthening your calves should help out. Explosive movements, like jumping and sprinting heavily envolve your fast twitch muscles in your calves. Jogging in the soft sand always helps. Sprints up hills and stretching your calves will help. Calf raises will strengthen your calves but speed and your vertical jump height will come from keeping your calves fully loose and stretched out.

Calfs are tough to build.  Mostly it's a genetic thing.  You genes determine the percentage of slow twitch muscle fibers in a muscle compared to the percentage of the fast twitch fibers.  Since calves are involved a lot in walking and posture, they tend to consist mainly of slowly twitch fibers, which do not tend to react to weightlifting as well as fast twitch fibers.  The guys with the big calves tend to have a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers.\n\nThe best bet for getting bigger calves is to vary the number of reps that you do.  To target the fast twitch muscle fibers, do sets of 6-8 reps.  To target the slow twitch, try setswith higher reps, sets of 15-20 reps and also very high reps like 50 with lower reps.  Also, since there are two muscles that make up the calves, the gastroc and the soleus, you need to do exercises that target both muscles.  To target the gastroc, do exercises with the knee straight -- and to target the soleus, do exercises with the knee bent (usually in sitting).

There's no way to entirely avoid affecting the rest of your body.  Any exercise raises your metabolism generally, heart rate and respiration, and that affects your whole body.  But you can emphasize the thighs and buttocks with walking and running, bicycling, swimming; anything that uses the lower half of the body more than the upper.  The calves are almost always affected by anything that affects the thighs, of course, since the leg is a single functioning unit in most exercises.  But the good news is that, since thighs and buttocks store fat more than calves do, when you "burn" by raising your metabolism, those storage areas are affected more than the more lean areas.\n\nOne exercise that affects the thighs and buttocks more than the calves is something I've never been able to do, but which if you can do it, works well.  It's that thing called "bicycling" by the gym teacher, which you do upside down.  Stick your legs in the air, hold your butt off the floor with your hands, and rotate your legs as if you were riding a bicycle upside-down.  \n\nIf you are lean enough to do it, it should be just what you want.  If, like me, you simply cannot hold yourself in that position, it's humiliating.  But then I was always being humiliated in gym class . . .

Well from your measurements you seem to have a nice build.  Maybe you should try Pilates, the moves involve a lot of stretching which gives your muscles a slendor look and add low impact cardio to shed a few inches.  Our builds are quite similar (28y/o african american 5'6 34  26  36) and I find that my legs will bulk up if I place to much weight on them when exercising; however I have to do lunges and squats to get the tone you are getting from the hills you walk daily.  \nTry pilates and a little cardio, you should see your thighs slim down. Also if you workout don't focus so much on leg strengthening exercises as you are already doing that each day on your walks.

Eat protein and do not exercise as much. Eat protein laden foods, like red meat or peanut butter.

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.

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 :)

Pushups with extra weight in a backpack.  Eat lots of steak and few carbs.  Get plenty of aerobic to reduce the body fat.
