The most direct way to exercise your calf muscles are to stand on your tippy-toes, going up and down slowly. You can do this exercise with your toes on the edge of a box or stair in order to get a better stretch. Many gyms also have machines specific to calf raise exercises, and those are designed to isolate your calves and avoid using other auxiliary muscles. The main benefit of a calf-raise machine is that weight can be added beyond your body weight, allowing for a harder workout. You can achieve this effect without a machine by wearing a weighted backpack.
To exercise your calf muscles without weight training, you can run. Focus on keeping your heels off the ground as you run, because your calves will be doing a lot of the work. You don't need to run fast for this, just keep moving and keep your heels off the ground.
