Human: How do I gain muscles in the calves?

Assistant: This depends upon what you want to do. Are you planning on running or playing sports, like soccer or basketball? Or do you just want some curves in your calves?

Human: I just want them to be stronger for every day use.

Assistant: 
Here are some muscle groups and exercises you can try, but they’re all just suggestions, and you should keep trying out new ideas until you find a routine that you like!
In that case, I’d start by doing calf raises.  That’s when you hold your calves up straight. I’ll be happy to help you practice this! I can suggest different exercises to do at home.  It’s fun to learn about muscles and how to tone them.  The muscles in the legs are particularly sensitive to soreness. It can help to massage them, just on the skin above the muscle.  You can apply muscle rub or just olive oil.  I can show you some exercises with hand weights that I think would also be helpful.
