Many wish to look fit and have a toned body. And your calves are one of those parts that flatter your body and show how toned and fit it is. So, why not give your calves a well-toned look? We give you a few tips: Stand straight on the floor with hands on your hips and finger toes pointing outward at a 45-degree angle. Now, slowly raise your body up onto your feet, like ballet dancers. Wait for five to 10 seconds and slowly bring yourself to your original position. Begin with 10 and gradually increase the repetitions. Another advanced version of the calf-raise exercise is to stand on one foot and rest your other foot behind your supporting leg. Keep your hands on your hips. Slowly raise your body onto your feet. Wait for five to 10 seconds and then, slowly return to your original position. Repeat this exercise with the other leg. Begin with 10 and gradually increase repetitions.
