Exercise Profile

Standing Calf Raise Machine Overview

The standing calf raise machine is a workout that primarily targets the calf muscles.

It involves standing on a platform with the shoulders under the pads and lifting the heels up and down.

While other muscles like the glutes and hamstrings are also engaged, the focus remains on developing strong and defined calves.
