Learn a martial art.

As well as toning up the whole of your body, and controlling your fat storage, this will make you feel more capable and confident, and help you to cope with stress.

Try out a few different styles of MA, and also try different teachers' classes for each style. Each art has its own 'approach' (for example, the very 'firm' art of Tae Kwon Do needs a totally different attitude from the one used in Capoeira, which is performed to music). The way a particular teacher runs their class can also make quite a difference to your motivation and enjoyment.

Women's Muscular Calves- How to Build Slim Calves

Most women would love well toned calf and leg muscles

But the problem is, many women just don’t know how to develop beautiful toned feminine calf muscles! There is a myth out there that men and women should train their bodies differently

I disagree with this especially when it comes to training women’s calves.If you want results as a woman you should train with the same intensity as a man. To get beautiful calves you need to develop your calves’ muscles and to do that you need adequate weights and high intensity training.

Women’s calves should be well shaped and well balanced in look. The calf muscles must be well proportionate. With the development of other parts of the body- again this means you need to Build those calf muscles!

If you are scared that your calves will get too big fear not! Women don’t have the necessary testosterone levels to build big muscles as men do! And if you envision those muscular women on ESPN rest assured that you can never get to that level unless you are on steroids! On the contrary if you train your calves like a “man” (with heavy weights and high intensity), you will get beautiful toned female calves.

Another problem is that most women usually don’t train their thighs and hips correctly as well! Most women rather place more emphasis on their upper bodes and trouble areas like the arms and abs. The lower body is the most important muscle groups that supports the weight of the body.
Training the lower body will also boost your metabolism which means you will be able to lean out and lose weight faster..Remember your calves carry your entire weight of your body all through the day and hence should get a lot of attention in your workouts. Women’s calves function better when both the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus muscles are well trained and developed.

The Gastrocnemius muscle is a fast-twitch muscle and comes into action During fast moving activity spanning a short duration after which it gets Exhausted. The Soleus muscles come into action during long activities requiring a lot of endurance. The Gastrocnemius muscles of the calves responds well to heavy weights, while the Soleus responds well to light weights but more reps. Train both the muscles appropriately and equally to develop great women’s muscular calves.

To get well toned muscular calves you must be on a well balanced diet to enable the calf muscles to grow. Your regular diet may not be complete in all the essential nutrients and therefore must be compensated with supplements. Other tips for building your calves is you should flex and stretch the muscles before , during and after exercising your calves as doing so will make your calf muscles work more efficiently and allow you to prevent any injury!

As a general rule for building muscular female calves, you should choose exercises that target the calves from all the angles.Good calf exercises include Standing Machine Calf Raise, Donkey Calf Raise, Seated Calf Raise, Seated Calf Press, Leg Press Machine toe raises, and One-Leg Standing Dumbbell Calf Raise.All you need is to select 3 exercises and perform 3 sets of each in the 12-15 rep range! If you follow these simple tips you will get the calves muscles you desire
