CALVES

Standing Dumbbell Calf Raise

BeginnerDumbbell

A weighted standing calf raise holding a dumbbell in each hand, targeting the calves. Standing on a raised edge lets your heels drop below the step for a fuller stretch, and the dumbbells add resistance well beyond bodyweight. Good for building calf size and strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with the balls of your feet on a raised edge like a plate, legs straight with a soft knee bend.

  2. 2

    Let your calves relax so your heels drop below the edge toward the floor.

  3. 3

    Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as you can.

  4. 4

    Hold and squeeze at the top for a moment.

  5. 5

    Lower your heels slowly back down below the edge, keeping tension in your calves, and repeat.
