Running
This is one of the most effective exercises you can do to slim down your calf muscles. There is however no need of sprinting all the time.
Endurance runners have thin legs as they cover long distances by running slow. On the other hand, sprinters have well developed calf muscles as they need strong legs to run fast. So, try to run slowly on flat surfaces to develop well toned legs. -
