The standing calf raise exercise builds stronger, more defined calf muscles. It helps you jump higher, run faster, and prevents ankle injuries.
1. Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, core tight 2. Slowly rise up onto your toes by pushing through the balls of your feet 3. Hold the top position for 1-2 seconds, squeezing your calf muscles hard 4. Lower back down slowly until your heels touch the ground 5. Repeat the standing calf raise movement for your target reps
• Keep your body straight and don't lean forward during the standing calf raise • Go slow on the way down to get the full stretch • Squeeze your calves hard at the top of each rep • Don't bounce - control the movement up and down
• Bouncing at the bottom instead of controlling the standing calf raise movement • Not going high enough on your toes to fully work the calves • Rushing through reps instead of focusing on the muscle squeeze
