3 Killer Calf Movements<\/h2>\n

by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD<\/h4>\n
\"Jump
Jump Squat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1) Jump Rope<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tTry jumping about an inch off the ground and landing on the balls of your feet\/toes (stay off your heels).
\n\u2022\tAlso, be sure to stabilize and brace for your landing by having a slight bend in your knees, and this will also allow for you to rebound better.
\n\u2022\tJump for 2 minutes. You\u2019ll definitely feel the burn.
\n2) Jump Squats<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tJust add a jump to your normal air squat.
\n\u2022\tSquat down by pushing your hips back, then jump up as you straighten out.
\n\u2022\tYour arms should move in the same pattern as in an air squat (arms up as you squat down, and down to your side as you stand up\/jump).
\n\u2022\tYou can also try these with one leg.
\n\u2022\tRepeat for 3 sets of 10-15.
\n3) Downward Facing Dog<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tThis movement will really work to stretch and elongate the calf muscles, allowing for greater muscle recovery.
\n\u2022\tStart in a push-up position.
\n\u2022\tBend your body until you are in an upside down V.
\n\u2022\tWhile holding the position, lower one of your heels to the floor for a couple of seconds (the goal is to get to two flat feet at the same time).
\n\u2022\tLift heel and lower the other one for another 2 seconds.
