Calf Exercises for Runners

CALF STRENGTH BY REQUEST!

1️⃣CALF RAISES
SLOW down the lowering phase! Let your heels drop below the step for a bigger range.
- Start on the floor.
- Advance to a stair.
- Then to single leg.

2️⃣SOLEUS RAISES
gotta hit the different muscles in the calves. Here by coming in to a squat you’ll hit the soleus.

-I like holding weights to force extra core, but you don’t have to.
-Progress to single leg.

3️⃣Add weights to the tip toe walk I showed you previously.

4️⃣Plie with raise.
Again we’re hitting the muscles differently by now pointing the toes outward. You’re also getting some extra core, stability and leg work.👏

Start with 2 rounds of 10 reps, overtime progress to 3 rounds up to 20 reps.
