Wide Calf Raise

Setup

• Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart.

• Point your toes slightly outward to emphasize the inner calf muscles (the medial head of the gastrocnemius).

• Keep your core braced and your chest lifted to maintain good posture.

Movement

• Slowly lift your heels off the ground by pushing through the balls of your feet.

• Reach the highest point possible, squeezing your calf muscles at the top of the movement.

• Hold this contraction for a brief second.

• Gently lower your heels back down to the starting position with control, ensuring you do not just drop them down.

• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
