Lunch hours often leave us feeling sluggish, but a few simple calf-strengthening moves can wake up your body without breaking a sweat. Here are five easy ways to do them.
Stand tall, lift your heels slowly, pause at the top, and lower them back down with control.
While sitting, press your toes into the floor and lift your heels upward as high as possible. Hold, then release.
Stand on one leg and raise your heel up and down. Switching legs doubles the benefit and improves balance.
Place the balls of your feet on a step, let your heels drop slightly, then lift up for a deeper stretch and stronger contraction.
Press your hands against a wall, step one foot back, and lift the heel repeatedly.
