Smith Machine Reverse Calf Raises

Reverse calf raises aren't just for looks — they support ankle function and running performance. FitnessTracker users can use this Smith machine version to target the often-overlooked front of the lower leg.

Instructions

1. Set the bar on the Smith machine and stand with your heels on a platform and toes hanging off.
2. Rest the bar across your shoulders and unrack it.
3. Lift your toes by flexing your ankles upward.
4. Hold briefly, then lower slowly to the starting position.
5. Keep your knees soft and the motion smooth throughout.
