200 CALF RAISES!

Here’s how to do them: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/standing-calf-raises

If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to beat your previous # by 5 or 10! Be sure to brag when you’re done!

Level 1: From floor
Level 2: Heels hanging off any kind of step
Level 3: Add weights in your hands just hanging at your sides. No weights? Get creative!

DEFINITELY stretch BEFORE, BETWEEN, & AFTER SETS.

Post once to accept the challenge and again (before midnight!) when completed! Don’t forget to brag about the level you did!

    I'll give it a try - not sure if I'll get to 200 on the first go but you've got to start somewhere!

    So, are you doing 600 total? Or do you pick which level of exercise you are at physically?

    I'm in. Last time I did this challenge I did it in like half an hour and couldn't walk for days, my calves were cramped so badly. Will definitely space it out more this time.

    I did 200 just standing. In between each set of 50, I stretched. My calves are bright and hot now after 200. so there's no way I would want to try 600. I say just pick a level and go with it. :smile:

    I have the same issue unless I take extra time to stretch. I stretched before, then after each set of 50, and I just got finished rolling my calves with an empty water bottle to help loosen the tightness. so hopefully I can walk tomorrow given that I took extra care of my calves. :wink:
