Lower legsStrengthBeginnerSeated calf raise machine
A machine calf raise performed seated to specifically target the soleus muscle.
How to do it
- Sit at a calf raise machine with the pads resting on your thighs.
- Lower your heels as far as possible.
- Raise up onto your toes.
- Lower under control.
- Repeat.
Tips
- The bent knee slackens the gastrocnemius, so the soleus does more of the work.
- Use a full range of motion.
Muscles
Primary: Calves (soleus)
Secondary: Calves (gastrocnemius)
