Calf Raise
Adjust the seat back on the leg press attachment so that your legs are
almost fully extended when your feet are on the foot plates. Do not lock
your knees! Place your feet on the foot plates so that the balls of your feet
are aligned with the pivot on the foot plates. While keeping your legs at
full extension (remember, to not lock your knees), push outward, flexing
at the ankle. Return slowly.
Variations: Angling your feet can target different areas of your calf
muscles. Angling outward will emphasize the inside of the calf muscles,
while angling inward will emphasize the outside of the calf muscles.
Primary muscles worked: Gastrocnemius (rear of calf), Soleus (lower
part of calf).
