Many people have large calves, but in most cases they can be shrunk in a variety of ways. To keep your legs always slim and graceful, pay attention to the simple exercises below and some tips. Such exercises help to dry out the calf muscles and transform the shape of the leg.
Instructions
Step 1
Rise on toes. Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart and your feet parallel. Inhale and rise on your toes as you exhale. Repeat this exercise 25-30 times.
Step 2
One-legged toe rise. Stand straight, transfer your body weight completely to your right leg, and lift your left leg off the floor, bending it at the knee. Take a deep breath and stand up on your toes. Repeat the exercise 15-20 times for each leg.
Step 3
Another climb with "club-toed feet" on toes pointing inward. Stand up straight, place your feet hip-width apart, point your toes inward. Now inhale deeply, rise on your toes as you exhale. Repeat the exercise 25-30 times.
Step 4
This small set of exercises should be repeated twice a day. But it will be possible to reduce calves by a couple of centimeters with the help of these exercises only in at least six months. To reduce this period, additional exercises should be performed.
Step 5
Sit on a soft rug or mat on your knees, keep your back straight, place your hands in front of you and sit in this position on the floor alternately, then on the left, then on the right side of the thighs. Do as many repetitions as possible.
Step 6
Stand on a small hill with your heels hanging down. Now get up on your toes and get down. Keep your back straight.
Step 7
Stretching them will also help to reduce calves:
Take a step forward with one foot, resting your palms on your buttocks. Slowly begin to bend the leg in front of the knee. Gradually squat deeper and deeper down and forward, while stretching the back of the thigh, as well as the calf muscles of the leg located at the back. To increase the stretch, simply push your front leg further forward, but never put your hands on it. And one more thing: in this exercise, the main body weight should always fall on the back leg.
