    Hi Suki,

    The only calf exercises I am familiar with is heel raises.

    Really sorry I can't help

    Alan.

    Sometimes if you over exercise it will make your calf muscles worse. Don't push too much for a couple of days and give them a chance to recuperate.

    Make sure you are well hydrated before starting excercises. Put your fingertips on a counter and slowly.....very slowly raise your heels and hold to count of 5. Repeat 10 times. Ice immediately.
