Hello all :)

Does anyone know of any exercises or stretches etc in order to tone/shrink calves?

Mine are huge, they look like a superhero dolls calves haha!

Any advise on this would be excellent :)

    Heel raises are good. That'll make your calves ache : )

    STRETCH THEM!!! Won't make them smaller, but will help the cramping.

    If you mean reduce the fat on your calves, that's impossible. But if you are just trying to reduce the muscle mass there then I can't really see that happening either. Any proper exercise routine would include something that activates your calves (squatting, running, group fitness) so I think you're SOL.
