Overview of sit-up calf raises:
The calf sit-up is a type of calf lift in the trainer and an exercise used to isolate the calf muscles.
Calves can be an intractable muscle group for many people, so it is important to experiment with different angles when performing calf raises. You may also want to consider training your calves at a high frequency.
Calf squat raises can be incorporated into your leg and whole-body workout.

Instructions for performing calf raises in a seated position:
1-Sit on the trainer and place your feet on the platform so that your toes are pointing forward – your heels will naturally hang down. Place the base of the quads under the knee pad and place your hands on top.
2-Spread your ankles and release the safety bar.
3-Lower your heels, dorsiflexing your ankles until your calves are fully extended.
4-Extend the ankles and exhale, extending the calves.
5-Repeat the set number of repetitions.
Tips for Performing Shin Lifts in the Squat:
1-Perform reps slowly and under contro. Limit the momentum and pause at the top point to emphasize the contraction.
2-Limit the depth of the heel raises if you feel a stretch in the lower part of the foot during the exercise.
3-Try to move through the ball of the foot rather than through the base of the toes.
