The Lever Rotary Calf exercise is a strength training workout that primarily targets the calf muscles. This exercise is typically performed on a lever rotary calf machine, where the user sits in a seat and places their feet on the designated platform.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the Lever Rotary Calf exercise:1. Adjust the lever rotary calf machine to your desired weight resistance level.
2. Sit on the machine with your back straight against the seat and feet flat on the platform.
3. Position your toes and balls of your feet on the platform, with your heels hanging off the edge.
4. Grasp the handles of the machine for support and stability.
5. Slowly push through the balls of your feet to raise the weight by extending your ankles, lifting your heels as high as possible.
6. Hold the contraction at the top for a brief moment, then slowly lower the weight by pointing your toes down, allowing your heels to drop below the platform.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 10-15 reps per set.
8. To increase resistance, adjust the lever rotary calf machine to a higher weight level.
9. Make sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your back straight and core engaged.

It is recommended to consult with a fitness professional before attempting any new exercise to ensure proper form and technique.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
