Knee lifts are an excellent exercise for burning calories, working on your breathing and toning your calves.

- Stand up and jump on the spot lifting your knees as high as possible.
- If you feel comfortable, you can gradually speed up the pace, lifting your knees faster and faster.

## Cycling

2 or 3 times a week
40 mins.

Cycling is the perfect activity for toning your calves.

Simply adjust the height of your seat correctly so that you can get the most out of your excursions:
- Your legs should almost be straight when the pedal is at the bottom.
- Your feet should be positioned with the ball of the foot on the pedal.

Avoid having too much resistance by opting for higher gears so as not to exert yourself too much.

## Stretching

3 to 4 times a week
2 mins.
30 secs per calf
x 2

Stretching your calves will prevent you from obtaining a muscle that is too round over time, ultimately giving you a slimmer appearance.

For this, find a solid support, such as a wall, that you can press against without it moving.

- Position yourself as if you wanted to push the wall, arms straight and hands flat.
- Move one foot back and stretch your leg, your heel should be in contact with the floor. Then, move the other foot forwards slightly and bend your leg.
- As you exhale, push firmly against the wall. You should feel the calf of the leg at the back pulling. Then change leg.
