Build Calf Strength with Out Calf Raises

Out Calf Raises

Rep Range

15-20

Hints

Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart, but point your toes outward (creating a 'V' shape with your feet). Slowly raise your heels off the ground by pushing through the balls of your feet, engaging your calf muscles. Slowly lower back down.

Common Mistakes

Avoid using momentum; each rep should be controlled. Ensure your weight is distributed evenly between both feet and you're not leaning forward or backward.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower your heels; exhale as you raise them up.
