After at least 2-to-3 weeks from walking on your toes daily 3-5x a week for at least 10-15 minutes
Hi Adrian
How long will it take to see noticeable results- Bigger calfs?
Thank you
Bianca
Walking on your toes will build up your calf muscle fully
Hello Adrian, Hello everyone!I have watched many of your videos on self help with working out different areas of the body and i want to say thank you for putting such great useful workouts that actually work!! I wanted to be sure that walking on the balls of my feet was the correct workout for building up my inner calf muscles?
shefali
their is no exercise you can do to reduce calf muscle but what is your weight and height?

It's better to walk on your toes instead of doing lots of reps.

Most people calves are mostly muscle
Hey Adrian,
When doing calf raises, will it help to build calves faster if we do more repititons ??? Lyk instead of doing 15-30, will it be better if v do it 90-120?????
So how much tym more will it take??????
m a grl nd my frnd has noticable calves bt those rnt as hard nd strong as mine ...... D buldge thing on her calf is very soft, is it fat????
Arnaz K
nothing extra really need to be done in your case.
You can walk on your toes like im doing in the video also
I am 12 yrs old and i am in d sports club of my skul. We do quite an extreme workout to strengthen our leg muscles (so dt v can run)
I've been doin all d calf raises jumps, squats, nd all types of exercises; my calf muscles have toned bt dey rn't noticeable, so i jst wnt 2 noe st if i need 2 do extra exercises and how much more tym will it take 4 me to make my calf creases noticable......
TY

You can do 4sets of single leg calf raises for the shorter calf and 1-2 sets for the bigger calf to attempt to even them out
yes but mine is very noticable and i am extra paranoid is there any sort of rutine i can take up
eileen
I was the same way when I was your age but you know what...
everybody has one arm / one leg that is bigger than the other and guess what...
nobody else can really tell!! so take my adivce and... dont worry too much about it
since i was young my right calf is very noticably bigger than my left calf, i am very paranoid about this especially when i go out at night when i wear skirts, could you give me some advice as to tone up my left calf or loose weight in my right calf so as to have them the same size or near to the same size
Hey there!!! You werent kidding when you said ASAP!!! I'm going to start working on my toes tommorow!!! I have really thin calves so wish me luck ne other exercice suggestions that would work towards getting thicker bottom legs (calves and ankels)and how long do you think I would see some results
Thanks again
Tim
Yes -these will make your calves bigger and that's mainly how I got my calves bigger
I am a 6' 190lb man with small calves ("15') Would these exercises you mentioned work for me also?
BTW..I am not able to get out and get to the gym.
Thanks
Tim

To some extent YES but...
you'll need to walk on your toes to keep progressicvley seeing reuslts
can wearing high heels around the house help build up my calf muscles
Jessica,
The calf is ONE muscle really and there is no inner or outer parts but what you can try is this...
You can vary your feet postion by pointing your toes out or in at 45 degree angles to target inner or outer areas
Hi Adrian!
I am natually very slender (5'7" 110lbs) I've tried to build the inner part of my calves with no luck during my 25 years of existance... I realize most calf exercises work both parts equally, so do you have any suggestions for targeting the inner part specifically?
Thanks!
Lisa,
Yes - walking on your toes will help

aldenebrown,
What do you mean by lose?
Go here to fight cellulite
I use to have large calf muscles but now they are perfect except that it is all lose and I am afraid they are going to develop cellulite. What can I do.
maria,
The best way to get the look you want is to do calf exercises while losing overall body fat
i have cuhbby calves i want to tone... not really FAT but more on the chubby side.
im 16 5'4,and 160 but toned and dont look like i weigh so much and go to the gym 3 to 5 times a week and practice yoga and kickboxing.
my calves aren't skinny, can i still get the toned 'bump' at the top??
brenda,
You can get away with waling on your toes everyday but I don't think it'll produce any faster results but to get faster results...
walk on your toes while holding weights for 5-to-15min 2-to-3 times a week.
Hi, why is it that we cannot do it more than twice a week?
Because i want to gain calf muscles badly as i am skinny
Holly,
Are your calves mostly muscular or fat?
Like most people - your calves are probably mostly muscular so really the only thing you can do to reduce your calf size is NOT TRAIN or do any exercises for them and hope they atrophy (shrink) from non-use
Hello,
My calves are so large I have to buy very wide leg jeans. I had bypass surgery 5 years ago and lost over 100 pnds. My body looks great for the most part except my calves are just as large as my thighs, I have been told to try calf lifts holding on to a chair with no weights. I am desperate not to have liposuction on them, due to not being able to buy jeans that will fit around my calves. They fit very tightly and feel as though circulation is being cut off. Thats very hard to do when your body is a size 4. Stretch jeans look hidious. Its very embarassing for me I have a great hour glass figure small waist line but my legs are shameful. They are huge. Can you please give me some advise I have been seeking for years.

Jayme,
The only thing you can do to reduce "fatty" calves is to keeep losing overall body fat and for muscular calves - the best thing to reduce your calves is to do no exercise at all or if possible...
stay off your feet to allow your calves muscles to atrohy or shrink from non-use
Hi Adrian
I have big calves and ankles and have had for most of my life. Even when I lose weight they are relatively bigger than the rest of my body. They are not muscular rather more fat. What exercises can I do to reduce them?
Thank you
Elizabeth,
Whenever you want to get rid of fat on your body you simply go on an easy weight loss plan
I seem to gain weight in my legs and even in my calves and ankles but not in my upper body. What can I do to get rid of lower body fat?
Temika,
The kind of cardio you're doing shouldn't affect your calf building goals and since your calves are already toned...
Have you tried doing the calf walk exercise while holding dumbbells and...
Try walking on your toes longer while holding weights or even try walking on your toes all thru-out the day (without using weights of course) so you can make your already good-looking calves more sexier
I get on th elliptical 3 days a week and do the stair stepper twice!!! They are tone but not as sexy as I want them to be!!!
Temika,
What kind of cardio are you doing if you're doing cardio daily then your calves may be fully toned or mostly muscular already.
Have you tried doing the calf walk exercise while holding dumbbells and...
How long are you walking on your toes when doing the home calf exercise?
Teika,
That's not too much b/c each exercise works different muscles
I am 5.9 and 153 pounds. I work out everyday from 45 minutes cardio to 40 minutes weight lifting daily.But I really have a problem with toning my calves and I have tried the home workouts. Do you have any other suggestions. Please help!!
mztlt@yahoo.com
my question is can do both exercises in the same day tippy toes and balls of feet ir is that too much I am trying to make my claf bigger. Thank u for site
Dana Lee,
I think the problem you're facing is minor and you shouldn't worry about it - Everybody - even myself -have bigger right calf than my left side and...
It's only really noticable to me and not to other people
For a few months now I've been training my calves. On my left leg, one of the muscles is bulkier than the one on the right leg (I thinkk that it's called the Gastrocnemius muscle), howeverr, the line that you get on your calves at the side of them (I thinkk that it's called the Soleus muscle) is bigger on the right leg. I've tried to exclude my left leg in calf exercises but the Gastrocnemius muscle on my right leg just won't tone up! and then there's the problem that the Soleus on my right leg will become even bigger.
When I stand on my tip toes my left leg's Gastrocnemius is quite bit more toned and the bigger Soleus on my right leg is too!
What can I do? =S =S
Thanks
Dana Lee

Melissa,
Please understand that If you have big calf muscles that are mostly muscular - the only thing you can do to reduce your calf size is NOT TRAIN or do any exercises for them and hope they atrophy (shrink) from non-use so...
For cardio workouts - you may want to foucs on swimming and the elliptical machine instead of treadmills or running since they work your calf muscles.
I hope this helps you.
Hi - I have big calf muscles but very small ankles. What exercises can I do to reduce the size of my calf muscles?
