TIP OF THE DAY: Your calf muscles consists of several muscles: anterior tibialis, posterior tibialis, peroneus, gastrocnemius (main calf muscle), and soleus. A standard calf raise with toes pointed forward will target the general calf area/gastrocnemius, but by turning your toes inward, foreward, and outword, you will ensure your calf exercises target all of the calf muscles. Your calf progress will become evident once you see the “splitting” of your calf muscles, which almost appears as a “w.” Don’t forget to train your calves (I typically train calves 1-2 times per week); they’re a muscle that is highlighted well in a dress or shorts!
