Exercise Description

One leg seated dumbbell calf raises build stronger, more defined calf muscles. They improve ankle stability and help you jump higher and run faster.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell on your right thigh near your knee. 2. Lift your left foot off the ground and keep it relaxed while your right foot stays planted. 3. Push through the ball of your right foot to raise your heel as high as possible for the one leg seated dumbbell calf raise. 4. Hold the top position for a brief pause, feeling the squeeze in your calf muscle. 5. Slowly lower your heel back down and repeat for all reps before switching to your left leg for the one leg seated dumbbell calf raise.

Form Tips

• Keep the dumbbell positioned directly over your working leg's knee for the best one leg seated dumbbell calf raise results. • Push through the ball of your foot, not your toes, to get the full range of motion. • Control the movement both up and down - don't bounce at the bottom position. • Keep your core tight and back straight throughout the entire one leg seated dumbbell calf raise movement.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and sacrificing range of motion in your one leg seated dumbbell calf raise. • Bouncing at the bottom instead of controlling the movement through the full range. • Placing the dumbbell too far forward or back on your thigh during the one leg seated dumbbell calf raise.
