    Do 30 sets of 30 calf kickbacks with a soup can strapped to your foot daily to get tone :flowerforyou:

    Start off by just walking. Bigger people have bigger calves usually so u will get great results from even bodyweight calf raises. Then maybe get a gym membership and start lifting(squats etc). Good luck and remember we all started somewhere.

    Sista, you gotta get moving!! Low weight and a whole lot of reps on the calf raise thing switch around back to front machine. Finish with 2 hours on the elipical to burn off any free flowing residue carbs that have gathered on your calves and your halfway there to fab summer ready legs babe!!!

    I used the Fluidity Bar!! It gave me the long, lean calves of a dancer and it only took 6 weeks, even tho when I started I had 60 pounds to lose!

    I used a contraption rather like that one because I wanted to make my calf muscles longer and leaner, and my shin bones grew an entire three inches, and so my calf muscles became longer too. And what's more, my BMI went from the overweight range to the healthy range, because, you know, I'm three inches taller now.

    Awesome!

    However, please clarify type of dancer.

    The types of dancers in my head, of course. And all I had to do was pay $500 for a chair rail with a yoga mat attached to it! What a deal!

    get a 2X4 and do toe raises

    Omg aren't you listening?! I don't want toned toes!!

    Perhaps you should look up what toe raises are before you get your panties in a twist. Not sure why you're working under the assumption that every comment is meant to be rude when people are just trying to help.

    FYI, toe raises are when you stand on your toes on the edge of something (a stair step will usually do) and move your heels up and down. Go slow and count high. Add weights if you're feeling really ambitious. Be prepared to not be able to walk normally for a few days afterwards.

    They are also commonly known as calf raises, as they work, you know, your calves. Which is what you wanted to work. Some people call them toe raises because you are standing on your toes.

    Also, all the people insisting that calves are purely genetic should check mine out. There's genetics in there somewhere, but there's also a lot of running, toe raises, and rock climbing involved. They're the most toned and sexy part of me, and nobody else in my family has anything like them.

    Majority of the people answering to you are trying to be very helpful with their answers, ... you on the other hand.... hmmm, how do I put it ... Are you "trying" to sound like a d-bag, or does that come naturally?

    "Please I just wanna tone my calves, why are you being such a rude person? I don't have a degree in biology so I can't change my genetics"

    "Omg aren't you listening?! I don't want toned toes!!"

    "Please stop being a hater. You can enjoy your turkey calves if you want but I am going to rock my summer calves."

    :flowerforyou:

    For being so pretty, you sure are rude!

    Op, thanks for posting this thread . I always like threads like this where I learn stuff!
    Today I learned that you can use soup cans to spot reduce, that a yoga mat attached to a bar can create results in as little as six weeks, and that humans can change their genetics with a degree in biology!! That all sound sooo much easier than regular weight training and doing silly TDEE calculations! Who knew?:flowerforyou:

    With summer around the corner and shorts season already here, I was wondering what I can do to tone my calves so I look great in my jorts?

    Any help please?!

    Check out the post called "How do you get Summer Arms" and you will see OP is just trying to be a funny guy. I kinda chuckled, to be honest. :laugh:

    I don't mean this to sound...um...mean, but why are you waiting till NOW to decide you need to improve your calves for summer? If you had started 6 months ago, you would be ready.

    The best calves I ever saw on anyone was a guy I used to date....he was an avid hiker.

    Mine look pretty darn good now after a year of using my stationary bike. Cycling works.
