Calves

Define and strengthen your calf muscles by following these workouts.

Seated Calf Raise

Sit on seat and place toes on lower portion of platform, with heels extending off edge. Position your lower thighs under the pad. Lift slightly by pushing heels up. Lower heels by bending ankles until calves are stretched. Raise heels by extending ankles as high as possible. Repeat while maintaining a slow, controlled pace at all times.

Standing Calf Raise

Stand on a calf-raise machine with your shoulders under the pads. Place the balls of your feet on the foot platform so that your heels are free to move through a full range of motion. Keep your toes pointed straight ahead. Straighten your legs completely and extend your body so that your feet, hips and shoulders are in alignment. Lower your heels at a very slow speed until you feel a strong stretch in your Achilles tendon and calf muscles. As you reach the bottom position, push off vigorously to rise as quickly (and as high) as possible. Hold the top position for a second to ensure maximum muscle contraction. Repeat movement. Be sure not to bend your knees at any point.
