Daily Exercise

Exercise: This is one for your calves. They are the primary muscle is your lower leg (below your knees) and when they are big and strong you'll be looking bad-ass. It's called the calf-raise. This is done on a squat rack. If you don't have a squat rack you can do it on a flat barbell but it isn't recommended because it is harder to keep balance and injuries are easily made.
 1.  Unrack the bar as if you were going to do squats and move your feet shoulder width apart or a bit closer while keeping your knees straight. 
 2. Stand up onto your tippy toes and hold this position for a second to enhance the peak contraction in the calves. 
 3. Lower your heels back to the floor. Repeat.
