As today is the last day in which we will learn new bodyweight exercises, I had planned to present a few mire if my favorites. Despite this plan, I have now remembered that I forgot to cover one important muscle group of the body. Though there are merely a few bodyweight exercise created for this muscle, it is imperative for you to know them.

Calf Raises

I have never been very partial to the idea of doing weighted calf exercises. I believe that the most important necessity for athletic calves is not their ability to create power, but rather their pure ability to endure. This is why I believe that athletes should settle with unweighted calf raises. This exercise will not only help you to increase calves endurance, it will also help your calves to grow.

Calf Raises should always be done on a block of wood or other raised fixation. A necessity to correctly doing calf raises is to go below the level of regularity. This negative action will allow you to easily build controlled explosive strength in your calves.

To perform calf raises, place the balls of your feet on a sturdy, raised fixation. Standing erect, raise your heels until you have reached the apex your range of motion. Slowly descend to below the level of regularity, then repeat exercise. Use this easy exercise in with high reps and velocity for good results. For maximum results, make use of a calf pyramid, a training plan for calf development.
