When you pedal a bike, especially if you stand up and pedal against a high resistance, you engage your calves heavily in a way that helps build muscle. One of the best things you can do for stubborn calves is to jump rope.

   What are the best calf exercises?

   • The standing calf raise is one of the best calf exercises you can do if you want to add size to your lower legs. It hits both the gastrocnemius, the big, beefy part of your calves that gives them that coveted shape, and the soleus muscle lying underneath. Straight-legged calf raises are the bread and butter of any effective calf workout routine.

   Is cardio a good way to build a strong calf?

   • Yes, you read that right: cardio. Doing cardio is hugely underrated for building big, strong calves. The calf muscles are used to do a ton of work every day. After all, they carry your sorry carcass around wherever you go. Most other muscles don’t grow appreciably by aerobic training, but the calves are built differently.

   Why is calf strength important?

   • Since the calves are relied upon for the movements you do every day, they are susceptible to strains and injuries. Strong calf muscles can help rehabilitate existing injuries or prevent future damage to the lower leg. If you have mobility problems, increasing your calf strength can benefit you as they support tendons, such as the Achilles.

   Do you need a strong set of calves?

   • A strong set of calves can help you run faster, jump higher, and improve stability.
