The Standing Calf Raise M7 2007 by Into Wellness/Realleader USA targets the gastrocnemius of the calf muscles
key features
Standing calf raise exercise activates the gastrocnemius and soleus; which are essential in ankle flexion and extension, facilitating the running and jumping movements.The gastrocnemius helps to control the knee flexion by working together with the hamstring. On the other hand, the soleus helps in maintaining proper balance and pumps blood from your leg back up to your heart. If these muscles are not worked out regularly then the calf muscles more easily cramp, strain, and even tear, making walking and running difficult. Strong calf muscles lower the risk of ankle and knee injuries while improving the agility for running or jumping.
