45 Degree Calf Raise Exercise Video

Exercise Instructions:

Load the desired weight on a 45 degree leg press and sit down on the seat. Place your balls of your feet on the bottom edge of the foot plate at around shoulder width apart. Push the weight up and disengage the weight platform from the safety using the handles by your sides. Slowly allow your toes to come back as far as possible. This is the starting position for the exercise. Keeping your legs straight, slowly push your toes up as far as possible. Squeeze the calf muscles, then slowly lower back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips & Advice:

Make sure the balls of your feet are right on the edge of the foot plate, if you position them further in the exercise becomes easier. Use a full range of motion by allowing your toes to come right back and then raising them as far as possible. Keep the rep timing slow and control the weight, don't bounce!
