[ ** BACK TO EXERCISE PAGE ** ]

1 LEG CALF RAISES  >

Start Position: Stand on a platform where you can hold onto something to keep your balance. Your toes and ball of your foot should be the only thing touching the platform. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and put one leg behind the knee of the other. Don't lock the knee of your working leg.

MidPoint: Pushing through the ball of your foot, raise up on your toes as high as you can go. Pause at the top of the movement.

Finish Position: Then lower your foot as low as you can go. Immediately begin the next repetition.
Do 15-20 reps for each calf.
