The direction which your toes are turned will vary the effect of your work-
out. If your toes are turned slightly in while pointing and flexing, this
emphasizes the outer calves. If your toes are turned slightly out while
pointing and flexing, this emphasizes the inner calves. You can also turn
you toes out and open your knees to tone your inner thighs. Regardless of
which toe position you choose, always keep your kneecap in line with your
toes.
