| Lay back on the leg press machine. Place your feet on the force platform and press the weight out. Now, place the balls of your feet on the lower edge of the force platform. Lower your heels as far as possible below the platform. Get a comfortable stretch. Exhale and press the plateform back out until your toes are pointed. The weight should be heavy enough to exercise the calves, but not so heavy that you cannot come all the way up for most of your repetitions. Don't go too crazy on your calves if you have never worked them out before. They can get very, very sore and even make it difficult to walk if you do too much! |
