You can't go to failure here, cause if you do you won't be able to rack the weight. Learned that the hard way.

stopping the momentum is the key, I almost always forget this in every lifting work out. thanks for emphasizing this once more!

"go until your calves are on fire" haha awesome! She's a good and confident instructor. enjoyed the vid

Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item kzfaq.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

Good video. A big problem I see with people that do seated calf raises is that they do not allow their heels to go down very far. This does not allow for the proper stretch of the muscle, and their results suffer.

14 years later still helpful thank you

Nice! Professionally done, good tips. Thanks, Michelle.

Greatly appreciate this video.. No trainers at my gym, only instruction stickers on SOME machines. This one had none. Now I know how to properly work it, thank you!

Loved this video. Well done !!

Great vid. Thanks!

Great no nonsense video. Thanks!

you are awesome! thank you for posting your videos!!!

thank you for not being speed racer like most do.... peak contraction ftw!

Thanks very much for all your videos ,,I love em ..Keep doing the good job

They both target different muscles. Standing calf raises focus on the Gastrocnemius (The calf muscle), while seated focus on the Soleus (The muscle underneath the calf).

Having the balls of your feet all the way on the foot rest is key. Up until now, I could never figure out why I've been having so much difficulty with this exercise.

Thank you ma’am. Great advice there.

nicely done, informative

Thank you.

very well explained

She is the best! 💪

I appreciate the video, I tend to bounce and go fast with heavy weights as she described. Will change up and concentrate on each movement. thanks again.

this is great good video thumbs up

I love how fitness models always have on the newest workout gear with perfect color schemes.

This woman seems to be a beast...look at this bicep :)

It literally gives fire to your feet every time.

Good info

thank you

Thanks

is it better this or standing calf raise machine? my gym has both but i just prefer the standing one as i feel its more compound than the seated one that feels like an isolated movement..

It's not exactly a dealbreaker if the gym is just missing this one machine.

love her hair

She has the tibialis anterior training device by Hammer Strength right behind her too.

just saw her n sub man. nice explaination

It helps

Nice shoes

Shox og mokai! :D

for some reason when i use this machine or do weighted calf raises in general, its the bottom of my feet that hurt and not my calves

is it ok if you just stand on the edge of the stairs and go up and down?

What are those shoes, i need those!😍

There's none in the rec center I go to, unfortunately.

Is it a 'heel' movement as in drop the heel, raise the heel? Or is is stretch and 'push down' into the pad? Always had issues with this.

I got cramps by watching this

Make sure you hold the weight at the top for about 3 to 5 seconds.

imagine at the end you can’t do the last rep... 😂 your stuck. Joking but It’s perfect for calf’s this machine

you can use the leg press machine to for it.

im trying to get the most from less exercises, trying to omit what is useless.. do you do both ? and if you had to choose between one of them which one would it be?

Got It

But i feel muscle cramp in calves when i do this???

mine do too

My feet always wants to slip off. Why is that?

My gym Trainer taught me Seated Calf workout

The guy to the left at around 0:28 is also certified.

Is this exercise important?

mate i think he was referring to the fact that she mentioned at 0:11 that you could "find these in any gym you go to." which is patently untrue

👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

10 year challenge, where is she now

Ty get my like ans sub

I go to Gold's gym in Dagenham and they don't have a seated calf raise...

@Jake11229 no its a 45

What do you guys reckon, heavy and 10 reps?

is that a 45

Can this exercise make the size of ankles larger in any way?

Lol I've been doing it with the weight racked this whole time... oops

I couldnt walk the next day

High rep muscle dont go heavy

Is that Triple H's wife?

@emperadorotomano23 How did I know that you would be from the middle east...

balls.... lol

Anyone know her name?

Oh I think i didn't unrack the weights when I did it🤦‍♂️

Any gym you go to my ass!

1:10 physics not momentum ^^

Her voice sounds like she is from Wisconsin or Minnesota or somewhere East Coast. That isn't a Cali girl accent.

she looks very good, i like her. she could teach me a lot ;)

She's like a hot muscle mom.

I'll show her a full range of motion!

15 to 20 reps is fatiguing the muscle not overloading it . Bring the reps down to actually building some muscle 6 to 10 good reps , progressive overload is the name of the game. If you can do 10 reps with a weight then increase the weight . If you can’t do 6 good reps with a weight then decrease the weight . Get it ?

Forcing a deep stretch is actually ineffective, as it is exceeding the natural range of motion of the muscle and simply stretching connective tissue. If you stand straight up, with your legs straight and try to lift your toes to the ceiling, you will see how limited your dorsal flexion actually is - and that is the range of motion of your calve exercises.

can i do this exercise barefoot?

lol..looks like her but it's not

I want un attractive people showing me how to use weights.

Can you ride me

This woman doesnt have a fricking clue

just get a bike
