Dumbbell Calf Raises

1. Take a firm grip of the dumbbells and allow them to rest next to your thighs with your palms facing inwards

2. Stand strong, with your feet placed at slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart and a slight bend at the knee

3. Using your calf muscles, slowly elevate your body so that your weight is transferred onto the balls of your feet, just below your toes

4. Hold this high point briefly before lowering your body back to the starting position
