Instructions
The seated single-leg calf raise exercise is a version of the calf raise that targets each leg individually and helps strengthen the calf muscles. Steps : 1.) Start by placing a block on the floor about one foot in front of a bench. 2.) Sit on the bench with a dumbbell resting in a vertical position on top of the knee. Keep the ball of one foot on the block. 3.) Slowly raise and lower your heel up as high as possible without lifting your foot off the block, feeling a stretch in your calf muscles. 4.) Switch feet and repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
