The calf lifts the calf directly. You can perform this exercise with or without weights. Some people have painful feet during and after calf elevation. If you do this, stop practicing until you evaluate and fix the problem. There may be several different reasons. If you have any questions, please see a doctor.

Calf raise is to lift your feet while sitting or standing. This will force your calves to join and strengthen their muscles. The machine usually helps to raise the calf and apply weight to the knee to increase resistance to the muscles. You can use your calf to stand on the calf and add straight or curved to increase the strength by keeping the weight. Some varieties of standing calf elevations are performed on the raised surface of the toes, so the range of motion is wider.
Possible Causes of Painful Feet
Incorrectly performing calf elevation can cause pain in areas where exercise is not suitable, such as your feet. If you haven't learned the correct form yet, do so before you try again. In addition to the incorrect form, the condition of the weak foot or foot of the foot may be the cause. If the muscles and tendons of your feet are not used to force, they may strengthen with the muscles of the calves. In this case, the pain should feel like a burning sensation and a slight discomfort terward during hard lifting of the calf. If you have foot fasciitis on your feet, you may feel pain and soreness throughout the exercise. Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the soles of the feet. Only a doctor can clearly determine why your foot feels pain due to the calf elevation. Do not try to self-treat or self-assess the cause of your pain.
Painful Foot
Unless you are instructed otherwise, if you feel sore or painful, stop lowering your calf. Let your feet rest; don't use tough activities like running or skipping. If the pain persists after exercise, try to soak your feet with cold or hot water. The direct cause of pain usually determines which temperature feels the best. Massage one to keep your feet up to ease somepain. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs can be temporarily relieved. If the pain persists for more than three days, see a doctor to make sure you are not injured.
Alternatives to calf feeding
If you are approved by your doctor to continue exercising, other exercises help strengthen your calves. Sitting on a chair and raising the calf without increasing your weight can gently build your muscles. In addition, the use of a leg press and pushing the plate only with the foot provides for less leg strengthening and tension in different areas of the leg and foot. Activities such as swimming, walking and jogging will strengthen your calves and other parts of your body.
