Smith Standing Leg Calf Raise
This exercise uses a Smith machine to strengthen your lower legs. It focuses mostly on your calf muscles, but it also helps your upper legs and bottom. You lift your heels to stand on your toes and then lower them back down. The machine adds weight and helps you keep your balance.
