4 Exercises for Killer Calves

How we all crave for lower body definition…sculpted calves and toned thighs that celebrities flaunt on the red carpet in thigh high silt gowns. True we do not have an army of trainers and nutritionists to get us into shape but do not fret. According to Vesna P. Jacob, holistic fitness guru, Pilates expert and author, few easy exercises done consistently in the comfort of our homes can gives us those killer thighs and calves. "There are many ways to add variety to your routine using very little equipment or something from your household items. The following exercises are great for shaping legs and glutes while at the same time adding definitions to your calves. The only thing you need are few towels which you roll or something to lift your heels off the ground while still giving them support. I have used so called hedgehog domes which are great to add height and the spikes provide proprioceptive response making you more stabile and aware of you surroundings," says Vesna. Each exercise is to be done one after another in a flow. She suggests you work out for 30-40 seconds with 30-20 seconds rest in between to reset and assume next position. Do 2-3 rounds.
