Lunges have nothing to do with the calf muscles.
Here are the best suggestions I know to slim down your calves.
1. Keep your heels down and avoid walking on the ball of your foot.
2. Avoid high-impact jumping movements and focus on low-impact cardio such as swimming, walking, cross-training and using the elliptical trainer.
3. Walking slims down the lower legs as it lengthens the muscles between the back of the knee and the ankle.
4. Endurance runners usually have thin legs, as opposed to sprinters. Sprinting develops the calves, but endurance running does not. Run slower, but for longer distances (endurance running).
5. Stretching makes muscles appear longer and leaner. Stretching lengthens bulked-up muscles. A great stretching exercise for the calf muscles is a wall push-up. Stand with your front foot approximately one foot from a wall and your back foot about three feet from a wall. Your back leg should be straight, the front leg bent and your hands resting against the wall, while you lean forward. Your feet should be pointing straight ahead and your heels on the ground.
