It's a workout to make well-toned calves!

How to Calf Raise

Starting Position

1. Please prepare an object that you can step on.

2. Stand on the object with the balls of your feet.

3. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart.

Proper Form

1. Please raise your heels as high as possible to contract your calf muscles.

2. Please hold while resisting the weight, making sure your heels do not touch the ground.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. If it is difficult to maintain your balance, support yourself with your hand on a wall or object.

2. Since strain may be placed on your ankle or Achilles tendon (the tendon at the back of your calf and heel), do not lower yourself quickly, and if you feel pain, perform the exercise with just your body weight.
