Best Calf Slimming Exercises

Sumo squats

Let’s start by doing 20 sumo squats as our warm up. Stand up with your feet wide apart, toes facing out and just squat down and up. This exercise will warm up your legs and your calves at the same time.

Sumo squat calf raises

Stand tiptoe and squat down and up. Squeeze your calves on your way up. Do 20 reps of these calf slimming exercises.

Skater hops

Imagine you’re skating and what you wanna do is to hop from left to right and back using your calves. Do 15 reps on each side.

Calf raises

If you have a high platform at home, use it. If you’re in the gym step on a high platform or even the stairs. If you’re standing on a platform you will feel more. You’ll add intensity and I encourage you to stand on a platform.

What you need to do is to stand straight with your feet wide apart, look straight forward, keep your balance and rise on calves. Stay there for about one second and get back down. Perform 30 reps.

To work on your inner calves do the same moves but with your toes facing in. For the outer calves keep your toes facing out.

Calf stretches

Stretching your calves will elongate the muscles, therefore it will appear to look slimmer. So just choose any wall that you have, support your body weight into the wall with your arms. Put one foot forward, bend your knee at 90 degrees and the other foot back and straight. Push the back leg down by pushing the heels into the ground.

By doing this, you should feel your calves muscles being stretched out on your back leg. Don’t do it quick, do it for at least 2 x 30 seconds on each leg.

Long endurance cardio

Pick a cardio that you like, either running, jogging, dancing or swimming. Do it for 30-40 minutes at moderate pace, 2-3 times per week. That will help to burn fat and slim down your calves as well.

Full Leg Workout Routine – Get Sexy Legs

It’s leg day!!! Well, now we’re talking! Legs are my favorite muscle group, actually they’re the biggest muscle group. We want to work out all of the leg muscles, and that means, the quads which are in the front, the hamstrings in the back, and the calves. Most of the girls are afraid of doing hard trainings for legs, because they are afraid that they will build up their legs. But that is not true. Girls, you can not over do the legs. And when I read an article on how to get sexy legs in 15 min.. That is a fiction! The legs are used daily for basic activities like walking, standing, going upstairs or just getting up from a chair. Half-ass, 15min workouts will do nothing. Your legs are accustomed to working all day. Only dedication to intense hard work in the gym will bring you to sexy and strong legs. Now, when we made that clear, now lets see what contains a full leg workout.

 Squats

The first exercise when it comes to leg workout, and the most important of all, are the squats. You should do squats with head up, chest up, butt back, abs in, and you should drop it down to the floor! I prefer squads with a barrel, because they are more effective. By doing squats, you burn more fat, you make stronger legs, and also, you pop up your butt. Who needs butt exercises, when we have squats?!

Leg Press

The second exercise you want to do is the leg press. Because of the fact that your body is stationary inside of the machine simply pressing a sled, neuromuscular stimulation is not nearly as high as that of the squat but it still makes for a great leg exercise.

Lunges

The Lunges are very important exercise. Whit this exercise, you are working mainly on your Quadriceps, but also your butt, your calves and your hamstrings. You can do it with a barrel, or with dumbbells, and you can do it in two ways, with open legs, or with one leg behind another, but either way it works perfectly! I prefer doing this exercise with walking, not standing in one place.

Leg Curls

The leg curl is an isolation exercise that targets the hamstring muscles. There are two types of leg curls, seated leg curls, and lying leg curls. With either one, you will get the same results.

Dead Lift

Deadlifts work your legs, your butt, and your back, but mostly, deadlifts work for your hamstrings. Leg curls and deadlifts, are two exercises that go perfectly together. They are made for each other, and they are made for you to get sexier legs. So, don’t even think to skip them.

 Calves

Many girls don’t want to work their calves, and that’s ok. This is an optional exercise. But when it comes to full leg workout, I personally think that calves workout will give a marvelous finish to your legs.

For every exercise, you should do 4 series with around 12-15 reps. Between the series, there should be at least one minute break. And if it’s too easy for you, don’t forget to put some weights.

If you like this leg workout routine, don’t forget to share it with your friends!
