Exercises (Standing Calf Raises) Active Lifestyle

Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.

Muscles Worked
Calves or Gastrocnemius and Soleus

Position and Movement
Sit on the seat of the machine and place the balls of your feet on the footpad. Unhook the weight-sled clasps (usually located at the sides of the machine) by pushing upward with your calves and turning the handles outward so the weight sled can move freely. From here, simply stand on your tiptoes, and then relax again and let your calves get a good stretch at the bottom.

Tip
Avoid using your arms to help move the sled upwards; let your calves do all the work.
