Weekend Challenge: Single Leg Calf Raise
By Radiant Health EditorsPublished: December 12, 2014
Look Fantastic In Heels With This Challenge!
Don’t neglect your calf muscle! It’ll help finish the look of long, sleek legs you’re going for and the single leg calf raise will do the trick perfectly.
Step 1:
Get into a standing position, holding a chair or table beside you for balance. Slowly lift one foot up off the floor, bending the knee and positioning it behind you.
Step 2:
Rise up onto your toes and hold this position for a brief moment before lowering back down. Continue on doing this until 10 reps are completed.
Switch sides and repeat on the other leg.
Want to extend the challenge?
Perform 12 reps per leg on Monday, 14 reps per leg on Wednesday, and 16 reps per leg on Friday.
