6 calf exercises that don’t suck 🦵🔥
Your calves aren’t just for looks.
They help you walk, run, jump, and protect your knees & ankles.
Most people only do calf raises…
That’s why their calves don’t get stronger 😬
These 6 hit your calves in real life ways:
1️⃣ Heel raises with a lunge → build strength where you actually move
2️⃣ Sled push → power + endurance (your calves work HARD here)
3️⃣ Single leg stability → balance + ankle control
4️⃣ Heel-floating lunge → trains control
5️⃣ Isometric heel raise → builds tendon strength (great for Achilles)
6️⃣ Box jumps → teaches your calves to absorb and produce force
If your calves are weak, stiff, or always tight…
👉 this is your sign
📍Save this for leg day
