Calf Raises

Calf raises are an easy and effective exercise that you can use to target the muscles on the back of the lower legs.
This exercise increases the strength of your calves, allowing you to jump higher, and improves the tone, definition, and appearance of your lower legs.

How To

  • Stand with your torso upright, your feet hip-width apart, and your toes pointing forward.
  • Raise your heels off the wedges and squeeze your calves.
  • Return to the starting position, by slowly lowering your heels, and repeat.

Proper Form

When doing calf raises, brace your core, face forward and keep your toes pointing straight ahead.
Raise your heels and breathe out as you squeeze your calves.
Breathe in as you lower your heels and slowly return to the starting position.

Benefits:

Strengthen calves.
Increases ankle mobility.
