Calf Raise – Leg Press Machine
- Sit on the leg press machine and position your feet about hip-width apart on the lower part of the platform.
- Ensure that only the balls of your feet and your toes are making contact with the platform, with your heels hanging off.
- Straighten your legs to release the safety bars of the machine, keeping your knees slightly bent to avoid locking them.
- Press through the balls of your feet to push the platform away, raising your heels as high as possible and contracting your calf muscles.
- Pause at the top of the movement for a moment to maximize the contraction in the calves.
- Slowly lower your heels back below the level of the platform to return to the starting position and stretch your calf muscles.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
