Loading ...Home Workout: Calf Raises
- Filed under: Abs Video Inspiration
- Date: Nov 20,2008
Everybody has been asking for leg exercises, here is the first one. We are starting from the ground up so we are starting with calves. Calves are easy to work out at home but you need some simple equipment which I show you how to make in this video.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

fast food is rubbish just eat some oats
If you neglected your body for years then you can’t expect it to be fit in a flash. There is no way “around” this problem beside what I already outlined above.
Sorry, you cant do spot fat removal. Please see my video “6-pack abs fast”
I’m against all supplements, except for protein powder which I consider a food and not a supplement. Please check out my website under Nutrition>Supplements to see why.
I would start with either cycling or swimming till your weight gets down and your shins recover. When you start up running again, do it very slowly. The first week, run 1km then walk for 25min. The second week, run 2km, then walk for 20min. The third week, run 3km then walk for 15min. You get the idea.
is there a difference? amino acids and proteins are the same. look up on the net and u will find out that proteins are made up of amino acids
Most of a gymnast’s training is apparatus training; he repeats the movements over and over to get better at them. For apro this is an endurance and not a resistance training.
The musles they have they do get from resistance training, but they don’t do that nearly as often as their apparatus training.
If by “shin splints” you mean “medial tibial syndrome”, then doing this exercise may mean more stress for your legs, depending on how you exercised them previously.
Which would be the exact opposite of what you should do: Put less stress on them, not more. E.g., instead of running as your cardio activity only fast walking.
If after two to four weeks of lighter exercise the pain still persists you should see a doctor.
Don’t post comments if you are going to make racists remarks….
Scoob, you strongly emphasize how bad it is to overtrain, and I agree with overtraining killing muscle growth, but something that I don’t get is that people like gold olympic gymnast Paul Hamn for the 2004 “Men’s ring competition” train doing those weird maneuvers that require a lot of the same muscles to be used over and over, and he trained 6 days a week! How can these people still build so much muscle by overtraining their muscles?
Hey, Instead of building that step with wood, I simply use a thick, sturdy dictionary and use that as a step. You can also use any other thick hardcover book in my opinion, of course, building that wood step is better overall, but using a book is an easy alternative.
Hi again Sir
I am trying to getr my fitness up for joining the TA, BUT I am struggling with my simple mile and a half run, … my shins burn, i need to find a way around this problem,
ANY advice you can give me is great, i lost 4.5 stone in a year , but i struggle big time with the run, i also seem to let my breathing go in a different direction to my body, haha sounds weird, but trust me its true, i dont get to sync them together, causes many probs when running.
7-12 reps will not build your calves. Calves ain’t like other muscles, that’s why.
scooby love your videos it would be best if they came sooner tho but i love your vids
No, no syringe for me. Though if you see this comment, could you please tell me whether it is better to take protein pills or amino acids. Or none? Right now, I do not take neither, but I want to know if they have a down side.
If I do these, will it burn the fat and tone my calves?
Because I have big calves that just look fat and un-proportional to the rest of my body
I love your video’s . Good Job.
your beaner mom is stupid.
Love all your vids.
How about quads and glutes?
Have you ever considered putting these vids on a DVD?
will these calf exercises help against recurring shin splints?
When you don’t have equipment you build it yourself, which was what the entire second half of this video was about.
rbresca: Hans will be fine- he has a highly trained stunt double.
Scooby, you are doing a very good job. You always show how easy and cheap everyone can gain natural way.
Just a remark, I never train my calves in the gym. There we have a machine for calves we have to sit on. The machine sometimes causes muscle convulsions. I’m convinced the calves must be trained with the legs straight. So I do the one-leg calf raises at home. Moreover, on one of your videos on push-ups you inspired me by a backpack, so this is my weight load also at calf raises.
i have big calves but i find it really hard to get big biceps which is so enoying
You gotta love a man that knows how to hammer his wood.
