I don't know if this is the right category but erm yeah.

So, I have really jiggly, big calves & I want to slim it down and tone it. I've started to run 2miles and walk 2 miles 6-7 times a day & I know that it should help. But what are other more targeted exercises for the calves? NOT the thighs!!!

& I have really weak arms. I can't do a single push up, pull up, or hang on for more than .01 sec on flex arm hangs. And I'm not exaggerating either. You can go ask my gym teachers. I play violin but that's about all I do with my arms. Are there any exercises that I can do to improve my arms strength but not bulk it up? I can't do push ups very well & I was wondering how I should go about in starting it so I can improve on it.

I don't have access to the gym & the only weights I have at home are 2lbs and 8lbs >.<

Help please =)

well hold the 8lbs and lock out your knees and lift your heels off the ground, hold for 5 secnds and then repeat 20 times.

but only do this 3x a week b/c you have to give your mucles time to heal. and the running is great, and if you ran with the 2lb weight you would have good results

hope i helped


well if you hold the weight its more of a challenge for your calves.


see #1 pick up the weights, #2 stand traight up with your knees locked out. #3 using the mucles in your calves lift your heels off of the ground and hold for 5 seconds, #4 then repeat 20x.
