The calves, the Achilles heel of bodybuilding<\/h2>\n

Beginners and experienced will tell you all: at the gym, few people focus on exercises to strengthen the calves<\/strong>. As for the others, too obnubilated by the upper body, arms, and abdominals, they forget to build their legs.<\/p>\n

The calves are nevertheless a set of fundamental muscles to better maintain the body; therefore, working them can only improve your performance in bodybuilding but also in athletics if you practice the race.<\/p>\n

The most important thing is not to solicit the calves regularly<\/strong> but especially to vary the types of exercises<\/strong>. Test your limits by practicing daily walking. After a few weeks, the muscles of your calves, already used to be stimulated, will react much better to the exercises in the room that I suggest you below.<\/p>\n

Exercises without equipment to strengthen your calves<\/h2>\n

To strengthen your calves<\/strong>, small jumps or low pogo jumps are perfect exercises for warming up and require no equipment. Knees flexed, you have to jump on the spot, as quickly as possible and with energy.<\/p>\n

To optimize the efficiency of this exercise, which can be broken down into big jumps or High pogo jumps if you are heated enough, you have to perform a series of 50 repetitions.<\/p>\n

For the second exercise, the ankle extension, an elevated platform on which you perch is nevertheless necessary: a staircase will do the trick. Suspended at a walk on the tips of your feet, only your heels protrude; while contracting the muscles of the calf, it is necessary then to go up then down, the legs stretched. For the most impatient about the results, I advise them to add weights or dumbbells<\/a>.<\/p>\n
