Exercise Summary
| Exercise Name: | Seated One Leg Calf Raise |
| Main Muscle: | Calves |
| Secondary Muscle(s): | N/A |
| Equipment Required: | Dumbbell |
Exercise Description and Instruction:
Like many dumbbell exercises, this version of a calf raise allows you to exercise each leg individually. Exercising muscle groups individually helps to ensure symmetry as one side cannot “carry” the other.
To Perform This Exercise:
- Place a block or two to three weight plates on the floor about one foot in front of a bench.
- Sit on the bench with a dumbbell across your upper thigh and the balls of one foot on the block.
- Slowly raise and lower your toe up as high as possible without lifting your foot off the block.
- Switch feet and repeat.
