  1. Workout for Calf Muscles

This is the first in a series of posts that I will be writing with respect to providing exercise tips and recommendations for those of us who have 25 hours of work to do in a 24 hour day. One of the biggest issues that I hear most people complain about is getting in shape and eating right when they don’t have the time. This is less of a fact and more a time management and information resources issue. There are easy ways to both get good exercise and eat right all at the same time. This series and another I will begin called “Eating Right on the Go” I hope will provide people with the opportunity to get healthy despite having a busy agenda. OK, let’s do this!

Workout for Calf Muscles:

One of the hardest muscles to work on, in my opinion, is the calf muscle. There are many exercises you can do. Which one you do, is really dependent on your goals. Do you want to build up your calf muscles? Do you want to tone up your calf muscles?

If your goal is to build up your calf muscles then I would suggest some type of resistance exercises, such as the use of weights while doing standard calf exercises, such as standing calf raises, but if your goal is to tone up your calf muscles, than the exercise I will suggest is great for that. It is so simple that I almost feel like it isn’t even an exercise, but it has worked amazingly for me. It is simply doing 100 standing calf raises without weights, but the goal is to do these calf raises without balancing yourself on anything. And you can do this exercise anywhere. Here are the specifics of this exercise:

Balanced Standing Calf Raises:

100 Repetitions

- Balance yourself while doing the calf raises. This is the hardest part of the exercise.

- Push off on your tippy toes. DO NOT let your heal touch the ground.

- Do this exercise whenever you have a break i.e. standing in line, cooking, shopping, etc.

- If you have grocery bags you can use these as weights if you would like.

Initially, you will probably struggle with balancing yourself, so you will probably need to hold onto something until you can do the entire exercise without holding onto anything, but the ability to do the exercise with holding anything is critical to the exercise. Form is everything with this exercise.
