Exercise Description

The toes in seated calf raise exercise builds stronger calves by lifting weight through your toes while seated. This targets the soleus muscle for bigger, more defined calves.

How To

1. Sit on the seated calf raise machine with your thighs under the pads and balls of your feet on the platform 2. Position your feet so only your toes and balls of feet touch the platform, heels hanging off 3. Push through your toes to lift the weight as high as possible in the toes in seated calf raise movement 4. Hold the top position for one second, squeezing your calves hard 5. Slowly lower the weight back down to stretch your calves, then repeat the toes in seated calf raise

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire toes in seated calf raise movement • Focus on pushing through your big toe for maximum calf activation • Use a full range of motion - stretch at bottom, squeeze at top during toes in seated calf raise • Don't bounce at the bottom - control the weight both up and down

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and sacrificing range of motion in the toes in seated calf raise • Moving too fast and not holding the squeeze at the top position • Not going low enough at the bottom to fully stretch the calves during toes in seated calf raise
