Hello,
Based on your question about toning your calf muscles, in general the skeletal muscles of human body require both nutrition and exercise to keep them toned. The calf muscles are powerful anti-gravity flexor muscles which require to be kept toned for optimal function. I would suggest you to first get your diet back in track again and then consider exercise.
You can also consult a dietician and then after 6 weeks of proper diet you can start exercises. There are various types of exercises for the calf, like calf press calf lift, heel raise etc. You can start these slowly and build up gradually as time progress. Always do calf exercises alternate day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopaedic Surgeon
