✅ Bent- Knee Calf Raises
❌ Don’t skip this exercise next time you train your legs!
🦵🏽 The soleus muscle is responsible for providing our legs with power, strength, endurance, posture & even circulation!
🏋🏽♀️ Be sure to load up the weights as this muscle is quite strong.
👨🏽⚕️ If you have pain in your lower body, training the soleus may be your answer!
💡 With each repetition
1️⃣ Pause for 1 second at the bottom of the repetition
2️⃣ Explosively push your toes down and feel the squeeze in your calf bringing your ankles as high as possible for 2 seconds
3️⃣ Gently bring the weight back down with control for 3-5 seconds
4️⃣ REPEAT
📔 If you are not sure where to start, aim for 12 repetitions at your max weight x 3 sets with an approximate 90 second break between each set
