Standing Calf Raises - Animated

From eDiets - The online diet, fitness, and healthy living resource


Standing Calf Raises


Standing Calf Raises

Starting Position:
  • Stand with your feet 12 inches apart with your weight on the front or "balls of the foot."
  • You may wish to use a chair or wall for stability.

Movement:
  • Slowly lift yourself until you feel a full contraction of the calf muscles
  • Hold this position for one second, and then return to the start position.

Key Points:
  • You may place your feet in three locations:
  • Pointed forward (trains the middle area of the calf
  • Pointed inward (trains the outer portion of the calf)
  • Pointed outward (training the inner portion of the calf).

Caution:
  • Make sure to keep the knees slightly bent during the motion.
