Well you could run at least 2 blocks every day and when its cold you could go to a gym like the ymca or something!! You cold also do 10 pushups and 20 situps to get strong!!! Hope I helped!!! Happy Holidays!!!

equestrians do these exercises to help slim the calf and build muscle in it: stand on a stair or a stool; the ball of your foot should be on the very edge of the stair or stool. push all of your weight down in your heel (you might need to hold onto something so that you dont fall)and bounce a couple times. then stand all the way up on your tip-toes and bounce a couple of times (not like jumping, just a movement that is similar to bouncing without leaving the ground) knee crunches will help too, but if you have a bad knee or knee problems, this isn't ideal. lunges are a good idea too, but these are more directed towards your thighs than your calves, but they will help some. the stair exercise will wear you out, even though it sounds simple. do as many as you can without hurting yourself. you will need to stretch before you exercise so that you dont hurt yourself.

You can do toe presses, squats, and lunges. Try running or jogging on a tredmill. I just searched on Google for "Calf Exercises" and so many pages came up. So just search and you'll find some exercises. Hope I helped :)
