New Calf Workout from Thatptcouple: 4 Moves for Stronger Legs
The author recently discovered and tested a calf-focused workout, developed by Dutch physiotherapy duo Cate and Davis (Thatptcouple on TikTok). This four-move routine, designed to strengthen lower leg muscles, requires minimal equipment and promises significant benefits.
The workout consists of four moves: heel raise at step, seated weighted heel raise, double lunge elevated heel, and weighted soleus walk. The author performed three sets of 10 repetitions of each move, feeling a notable tightening in their muscular system. They found the double lunges with elevated heels particularly effective. This routine, when performed regularly with increasing weights, can help build strong, healthy muscle in the calves. Incorporating such strength training and proper recovery is essential for the author's marathon training routine. The author, who enjoys trying new workouts, found this one particularly beneficial. Calf raises, when performed daily, can also strengthen lower leg muscles and support incline or hill walks. Stretching and strengthening exercises, like this routine, help maintain joint and muscle health and prevent injuries.
The author recommends this four-move calf-focused workout, developed by Cate and Davis, for anyone looking to strengthen their lower leg muscles. With minimal equipment required and noticeable results, it's an effective addition to any fitness routine. Regularly performing these moves, with increasing weights, can lead to strong, healthy calves.
