Calves Exercises

Calf exercises isolate the gastrocnemius and soleus, the two muscles that make up your lower leg and drive every step, jump, and sprint. Calves respond best to high volume and a full stretch at the bottom of each rep. Standing and seated raises target the two calf muscles slightly differently, so both are worth including.
