Day Eleven Exercise:

Calf Raises

  • This exercise can be done on the edges of stairs, wood blocks, books, etc.
  • Do both legs at the same time to start with then, as you get stronger, do them one leg at a time.
  • Hold a bag in your hand for resistance as you get stronger
  • Stand on the edge of the block with only the balls of your feet on the block.
  • Keeping knees stiff and bending only at the ankles, lower your heels down towards the floor.
  • Go down until you feel a strong stretch in your calves.
  • Reverse the direction without bouncing and push up as high as you can.

Day Eleven: Easy Exercise Tip:
  • Plan your shopping trips with exercise in mind. If there are three stores you want to visit in the mall, when you leave the first one, go to the one the furthest away and then return to the closer store.  I always try to walk as fast as I can in between as well...it helps burn more calories and
    I oftentimes feel winded!  Love the burn!
