Calf day! I challenge you to do 150 calf raises. These are easy, or are they?
You can do them free standing on the floor (level 1) heels hanging off a step of any kind (level 2) or either of those with weights in your hands (level 3). Some people might get fancy and do one leg at a time.
Sets of 10 or 20 work well.
VERY IMPORTANT to stretch out both before and after, You will be so sorry if you don't = cramps/stiffness.
You should be able to fit these in anywhere/anytime! Just have them done by midnight!
If the amount is too much/little, just do as many as you can and report back what you did.
