Easy Exercise of the Week: Heel Raises

Tone those calf muscles

Eric Lalor

Tone those calf muscles.

Toned, defined calf muscles always look good and here’s a simple way of obtaining them.

Instructions:

  • Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and lift your heels up so you’re on your tiptoes for a few seconds
  • Lower your heels and then repeat slowly and methodically
  • Try three sets of 40 repetitions
  • For an extra challenge, try heel raises on a step and let your heels extend below the edge of the step with each repetition
