How can I firm up my calf muscles?

Working up the calves

To work your calves, not isometrically but still with minimal motion, stand with the front half of your feet on the bottom step of a staricase. Hold on for balance. Rise up on the balls of your feet and then let your heels drop below the level of the step.

DON'T "let your heels drop". LOWER them under control or you'll over-stretch. Always keep tension on muscles worked and use slow, controlled movements for maximum stimulation.
