A member asked:

How to tone and slim down calves? i'm already doing 100 squats, 100 sit ups and 10 abdominal crunches per day to tone and slim down rest of body.

Calf raises?: Calf raises are simply raising up onto your toes - done repeatedly. You can get more bang for the buck by carefully doing these on a raised surface so that your heels drop down further and make your calves work harder. Lgromkomd.
