Standing Calf Raise

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Slowly lift your heels off the ground so that you're standing on your tiptoes.

Hold this position for a moment, ensuring you're engaging your calf muscles.

3

Slowly lower your heels back to the ground, returning to your starting position.

4

Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Avoid rushing through the movements. Instead, raise your heels slowly, hold at the top for a moment to maximize the contraction in your calf muscles, and then lower your heels slowly. This controlled movement helps to prevent injury and ensures you're effectively working your muscles. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to go through the full range of motion. This means lowering your heels below the level of the step at the bottom of the movement, and raising your heels as high as possible at the top. Not using the full range of motion is a common mistake that can limit the effectiveness of the exercise
