Calf training with the calf machine

Want to get strong calves? With the help of a calf machine, nothing stands in the way of your calf training . Training your legs is at least as important as training your upper body. Calf training, like any other exercise, is part of a holistic fitness plan. Strong calf muscles can increase the stability and performance of your legs.

What are the calf muscles made of?

The calf muscles consist of two main muscles:

1. the large calf muscle Gastrocnemius

2. the deep calf muscle Soleus

The large calf muscle primarily provides strength and definition. The deep calf muscle is responsible for endurance and stability. For optimal calf training , you should challenge both muscles equally.

Calf exercises for calf training

The calf raise , also known as the toe stand , is a classic calf exercise for training your calf muscles at home or in the gym.

To intensify the exercise, you can hold weights in both hands. Other easy exercises include stair climbing or jumping rope.
