How to do Seated Calf Raises - Calf Muscles

Seated Calf Raises work out the sides of your calf muscles (this exercise broadens the calves). Instead of using the Calf Raise Machine, you can also put weights on your legs.

Description: Seated Calf Raise - Calf Muscles

* Sit on the Calf Raise Machine, put the balls of your feet on the foot rests and your thighs under the leg pad (like illustrated above). Use the handle to take stress from your thighs if the leg pads hurt you. The handle is not made to help you pull and lift the weight with your arms. Keep in mind that the weight should be lifted with your calves only !
* Lift your heels until your calf muscles are fully contracted and exhale. Move slowly and concentrated. Don't help with your arms or bounce.
* Then lower your heels slowly and inhale. Lower your heels until your calf muscles are stretched slightly, but don't let the weight rest on your joints.
* Repeat without bouncing or creating momentum.

Trainer advice: Seated Calf Raise - Calf Muscles

* Seated Calf Raises can also be done with a barbell or plates on your thighs.
* Stretch your calves after every set.
