4 Amazingly Easy Leg Workouts At Home

#4 Standing Calf Raise

The standing calf raise exercise develops strength in your calves. It also helps to strengthen the ankle as well.

Instructions

Step 1: Stand in a shoulder-width stance with your toes flat on the edge of a stair. Your heels and mid-foot hanging off the edge so you feel a stretch in your calf.

Step 2: Use the wall or a rail as a support to stay balanced.

Step 3: Push your toes into the stair so your heels raise up, pause for a 1-2 seconds.

Step 4: Then lower yourself back to the starting position, being sure to feel a stretch in your calves.

Important Tip: Do four sets of 15-20 reps each. Make sure that you drop your heel as far as possible to achieve the greater efficiency during this exercise and squeeze the calf as you go up.
