Exercise of the Week


A calf exercise is considered to be effortless, but effectual. Today I have got nothing very much fancy or effort-asking but the exercise would prove to be a crucial one for your calf muscles. Our calf muscles bear a lot of stress and strain during our daily activities. Our each and every step is dedicated to these muscles that contribute in keeping us stand erect and balanced. Here’s the standing calf raise shown just for you. Just perform the exercise below with your heels hanging off the step.

  • Start the initial position by standing on a raised platform or step with your toes on the step and heels outside the raised platform.
  • Make sure that there is a relaxed separation between your both feet.
  • Start the exercise with your heels stretched in as much downward position as possible.
  • Keep your knees erect and taught.
  • Now raise your heels upward stretched from the ankle.
  • Move your heels in upward and downward position from the ankle in a stretched position.
