This exercise best works the muscles of the upper calf.

 

 

How to do:

1. Using the Leg Press machine, place your toes and the balls of your feet on the edge of a platform, so the heels rise in mid air. Keep your knees locked.
2. Push the platform by extending the foot (toes higher than heels, calves contracted).
3. Lower the platform by contracting your foot (toes lower than heels, calves stretched).
4. Be careful not to bounce the weight. Repeat until failure or until you have accomplished the desired number of repetitions.
