Seated Calf Raise

How to Perform Seated Calf Raise

The seated calf raise is an isolation exercise that targets the calf muscles with an emphasis on the soleus due to the bent-knee position. Performed using a seated calf raise machine or with weight placed across the thighs, the movement involves pressing through the balls of the feet to lift the heels as high as possible, then lowering them slowly to achieve a full stretch. Controlled tempo and a full range of motion help maximize calf activation and improve lower-leg strength and endurance.
