Calf Raises — Build Killer Calves

Toned calves combined with Summer wedges complete the sexy look you're wanting for your legs. Don't leave the gym without working your calves, too. To make these harder, Chadwell suggests completing calf raises while holding dumbbells or by putting a plate on the floor and "hanging 10," thus using the plate as a platform for the exercise. Or you can do both!

  • Position your feet approximately hip-width apart. Place your hands on your hips.
  • Slowly raise up on your toes until your heels raise off the ground. Pause and hold for one to two seconds.
  • Then slowly lower your heels back down to the ground.
  • Complete two sets of 20-25 repetitions.
