Calf Support
The exercises of the calf muscle
His calf muscles are at the bottom of the legs and are often forgotten in the routines of exercise that emphasizes exercises for the major leg muscles such as squats. In making this great exercise, not only the look toned calves, but this exercise will help strengthen the ankle area so it is very important to include in your routine.
You've worked thighs and muscles of his butt in the performance of the squat and lunge routines that I provided in previous articles so this is another great exercise to add to your repertoire!
Initially not require any equipment weights, although this may be included once they have mastered the basic level.
The Method
-Stand on the first rung of a ladder with your toes on the edge of the step. Place the rest of their feet so they are out of step. The feet should be shoulder width shoulder apart and toes pointing forward.
"To help balance can place a hand on a supporting wall or railing, all that is sufficiently robust to prevent them from falling. As you get more confident and comfortable with the exercise you can try to perform without support.
"Slowly drop your heel as much as possible, this is your starting position.
-Keep your knees straight but not locked. Get up in the toes as much as possible.
Pause at the top of the movement and slowly return to starting position. Congratulations you have just performed 1 repetition of a lifting of the twins!
-It 's important that you keep your knees straight (but not locked) in the exercise of another way to start using the largest muscles in the legs as the muscles thigh which will result in less work for calves.
-Goal for 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions.
-Team
-To increase the intensity of the workout can perform the exercise with a set of weights in each hand.
-Make sure you feel comfortable with your balance before continuing. Variations
"To run to the inside of your calves, place your feet wider than shoulder width and lift the ball inside his feet.
-If you need to focus on the outside, place your feet in close and lift on the balls off your feet.
-Keep your toes pointing otherwise forward will put extra stresses on the knees.
One Feet HEEL
This is a great variation to make and increase the intensity of exercise more.
Just follow the instructions that I have in the section entitled 'The Method', unless you hook your right ankle around his left to make the repetitions, then switch legs and perform the same number of repetitions.
