Gym styles immediately comes to mind, the calf work is KILLER.


I'm sure there's a ton more (probably most of the lower body-specific ones) but that's the one I think if when I think "calves"...

I agree with Kiki, Gym style is excellent for calves, but I would try Turbobarre too: lot of calf work even hidden while doing other moves!

High Step Challenge, Pyramid Lower Body, and Slow and Heavy(Legs and Shoulders) all have separate calf portions. Also, in the Body Blast Series, both Push Pull and Legs&Glutes include a calf workout.
In the cardio portion of Drill Max Cathe says something like, "We're gettting a good calf workout too!" and I remember agreeing with her at that point !

There are a few workouts that have short calf segments, like High Reps (with weights), Push/Pull (stick for balance and high step topper), Slow & Heavy Legs & Shoulders (with weights), Legs & Glutes (stick for balance and high step topper), Pyramid Lower Body (stick for balance and high step topper), and High Step Challenge (stick for balance and high step topper).

STS Disc 3 has a short calf segment during the 'meat' of the workout (with weights), then there is calf work in the bonus section of the workout too (on one leg with no weights).

Pure Strength Strong Legs & Abs (various methods are shown)

4 Day Split Lower Intensity Step has a calf segment that includes calves with no weights on the floor, calves with no weights on the high step topper, calves with weights on the floor).

Gym Style Legs has, imho, Cathe's toughest calves segment. No weights, just a stick for balance and a high step topper, but man-oh-man is it tough!

The leg discs from Meso 2 of STS 14, 17, 20, and 23 have a killer calf segment at the end of each one (using a weight, a high step topper, and a chair or barre for balance).

Turbo Barre has a calf work segment using the barre for balance.

That's all I can think of right now.
