CALF DUMBBELL EXERCISES

Single Leg Calf Presses
  • Set the back rest if the bench to an upright position. Holding a dumbell in your right hand at your side, stand upright and place your left hand on the top of the bench for support.
  • Stand on just your right leg. Rest your left foot on your right calf muscle.
  • Stand up on the tip of right toe using the bench to balance yourself. Be sure not to push yourself up with your hand, that defeats the object.
  • Slowly lower yourself to the ground and repeat for desired number of reps before changing legs.


Seated Calf Raises

  • Sit on the edge of the bench, feet flat on the floor about 12 inches apart.
  • Rest dumbells on thighs while keeping hold of them.
  • While staying seated raise heels by just using toes… in effect you are standing on your tip toes while staying seated.
  • Lower your heels to the ground and repeat.
