Calf exercises
Name of exercise:  STANDING CALF MACHINE
Start Position Finish Position
What to do: Adjust the standing calf machine so that the shoulder rests are low enough that you need to bend your knees to get your shoulders underneath it.  Stand on the foot platform on the balls of your feet.  Start with your heels as far down below the platform as possible.  SLOWLY bring your heels up contracting the calf muscles.  Come all the way to the top and hold your contraction on the top for at least 3-5 seconds.  After 3-5 seconds SLOWLY bring your heels back down all the way and repeat.
Don't Forget to: Try to keep your feet pointed straight.  We don't think it helps to point your toes in or out.  Going fast on this exercise accomplishes very little. For many people the calves can be very stubborn muscles to develop.  Try doing higher number of sets something like 6-8 sets of 8-14 repetitions.
Equipment needed: Standing calf machine
Muscles worked: Calf muscles: Gastrocnemeus and Soleus
