I looooooove to wear heels!! You??
So, here is my favorite exercise to tone and define the calf muscles.
All you need is a step. Inside..outside..anywhere!!
Step 1: Find a STEP
Step 2: Lightly touch a rail/wall for balance.
Place ball of the foot on the step and allow the heels to hang off the step.
Next: RAISED HEEL: Lift heels up, feel the calf muscle (back of the shin) tighten.
View from behind....Heels are raised above the step, calf muscles are contracted.
(These are my adorable hubby's legs! I affectionately call them "Popeye calves")
Last, drop heels BELOW the stair.Then, slowly squeeze ALL THE WAY back to a RAISED HEEL!
Repeat.
Beginner: 1 set of 15
Intermediate: 3 sets of 10
Advanced: 3 sets of 15
If you feel a cramp starting, stop and stretch. Then, continue.
Let me know any feedback or questions you have.
Now is THE perfect time to start Fab-bing up the flab!!
Keep up the hard work, Lacee!!
