Calf Raises
How to do it: Stand with your bare feet on your toes tip with your heels out of support. Perform full range heel lifts (with both feet) for four to five sets of six to ten reps, resting for a minute between sets.
You do not need to bring yourself to exhaustion. The purpose of this exercise is not to increase the size of the muscles, but to increase their strength, which means that you do not have to do more than is required. You can take a rest once you can complete ten to twelve repetitions without problems.
What it does: This exercise helps you to strengthen your lower legs as well as your calf muscles. [7]
