Calf Raises - With Bands

Strengthen your calves using resistance bands for portable training.

For users training from home or traveling, this banded calf raise is a great way to log lower leg gains in the FitnessTracker. It’s easy to scale, and the variable resistance increases difficulty at the peak of each rep.

Instructions

  1. Stand on a resistance band with equal length under both feet and hold the handles near your shoulders.
  2. Keep your palms facing forward with elbows bent as if preparing for a shoulder press.
  3. Press through the balls of your feet to lift your heels as high as possible.
  4. Hold and contract at the top, then slowly lower back down under control.
  5. Perform the desired number of reps.
