Calf Raise Machine Seated Instructions

  1. Sit on the calf raise machine with your feet flat on the foot platform and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
  2. Adjust the seat height so that your knees are aligned with the pivot point of the machine.
  3. Place your hands on the handles for stability and support.
  4. Slowly raise your heels by extending your ankles as far as possible, while keeping your knees stationary.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then lower your heels back down to the starting position.

Calf Raise Machine Seated Tips

  1. Position your feet shoulder-width apart on the footrest, ensuring your toes are pointing forward.
  2. Keep your back straight and firmly press your shoulders against the pad to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
  3. As you exhale, push through your toes and raise your heels as high as possible, contracting your calf muscles.
  4. Hold the top position for a brief moment to maximize the engagement of your calves.
  5. Slowly lower your heels back down, inhaling as you do so, until you feel a gentle stretch in your calves.
  6. Avoid using momentum or bouncing during the exercise; focus on controlled and deliberate movements.
  7. For an added challenge, increase the weight gradually, but always prioritize maintaining proper form and engaging your calves.
