One Legged Calf Raises

One legged calf raises are not seen very often. They are of much higher difficulty then the standard, and incorporate additional balance skills. This exercise can be done standing or seated, but standing requires much more strength. One legged calf raises allow athletes to isolate each calf, allocating a balance of strength to each individual muscle.

Begin exercise standing straight with both feet planted on the ground. Put the balls of your feet onto the edge of a block or other erect fixture. Pick up your weaker foot from the ground, balancing yourself on the stronger one. Lower the heel below the level of the fixture and then go back up to full height. Repeat the same motion with the other leg.
