Standing Calf Raises

I love to see well developed calf muscles and this move, although simple, is an effective way to strengthen and tone these muscles.

If you need, you can stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall to maintain your balance.  Otherwise if you feel comfortable, I encourage you to try this exercise without the assistance of a wall.    

                      Stand straight, with your feet approximately shoulder width apart (not too wide apart) – Feet      flat on the floor

                      Lift your heels from the floor, until your weight is primarily on the balls of your feet

                      Hold this position to the count of 5

                      Lower your heels back to the original position

                      Repeat!
