Plié Squat with Calf Raise
Sometimes with all the focus on stubborn thighs, our lower legs (our calves) are forgotten. But they are just as important! Besides, a toned pair of calves looks absolutely fantastic with a tea length wedding dress, especially when accentuated with a pair of heels!
To get toned calves, try this challenging but very effective exercise. It’s a compound exercise, which means you get the benefit of several workout moves in one. Work your inner thighs, butt, AND calves at the same time!
Position yourself for a plié squat. Keeping your butt back, abs in tight, and head looking forward, sink into a squat. As you reach the bottom of your squat, lift up onto the balls of your feet. Hold, then lower your feet back down and return to your squat start position.
Perform 10-15 reps. Rest. Repeat two more times.
Make this move more challenging by holding a dumbbell.
