This workout emphasizes effective calf muscle development using bodyweight exercises, which require no additional equipment for resistance.
The exercises are designed with considerations for averages such as a 5'10", 180 lbs, 35-year-old male, but adjustments should be made to suit individual capabilities.
Focusing on the calves—located on the posterior leg, responsible for plantar flexion—this routine includes ample opportunities for isolating and strengthening these muscles.
The accessibility of bodyweight exercises allows this program to be performed conveniently at home.
