Exercise of the Day: Calf Raises

It’s important to strengthen your calves and ankles. We use them everyday when we walk, run, jump or play sports. They improve our mobility and performance. Having weak ankles and calves can lead to injuries such as ankle/calf sprains, ankle fractures or even damage to your achilles tendon.

Having strong ankles and calves are especially important for runners because it helps your foot push off when you run and your knee flexion when your leg swings.

Aim to strengthen them a few times a week by doing these 3 exercises:

Basic Calf Raise

Internal Rotation Calf Raise (toes pointed inward)

External Rotation Calf Raise (toes pointed outward)

Do 20 reps of each exercise.

They are so easy that you can do them at home, work or the gym.

Try it!

3️⃣ things: 1. Sometimes it can be really frustrating to not be where you want to😤, but look how far your come. No matter how small the accomplishment, it counts. You have to start somewhere and your body🏃🏻‍♀️ and mindset🧠 will only change in small incriminates. As they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” I have to remind myself of this all the time, too. 2. Remember that part of the reason you may not see your body changing is because you look at yourself everyday! Changes happen gradually and each day you get used to your body being that way. Taking pictures📸 or measuring (even with just a ribbon if that would be more comfortable for you! 🎀) can help you see your progress. I didn’t even realize my body had changed so much until I looked back on older pictures of myself🤯 3. It really doesn’t matter what the scale says. In the second slide I weighed around 110-115 and in the first, I weigh 135-140. Never thought I would be happy and 140 at the same time, but IM LOVIN’ IT💪🏼💪🏼

Bad days can make the gym feel like a chore sometimes, but once you’re there it actually might help! I know for me going to the gym reminds me that I am in control of my body, life and happiness + that I’m pretty bad ass😏 but there are also loads more long term benefits! If you’re not already convinced to go hit the gym then just remember that it: 😰decreases symptoms of anxiety 🧠improves brain function 😢may help reduce depression 🍺may help reduce alcohol use disorder 😪reduces chronic fatigue 😴improves sleep 🤳🏽may improve self image 🥗may aid you in creating positive habits and a healthy lifestyle for yourself And the list could go on... DON’T FORGET PROPER NUTRITION IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT🍽

Sometimes when I’m not seeing or feeling progress it makes me want to just give up, but that’s when I try to remind myself that if I push through and continue no matter what I will eventually get what I’m after. I think that’s true for anything in life.

Now I just need to be able to move like this in a handstand🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️ (at East Walpole, Massachusetts)
