EIGHT WEEKS TO SLEEK CALVES ALL IT TAKES: Ten minutes every other day WHAT TO DO: One- and two-foot stair lifts AFTER 4 WEEKS: You'll notice more power in your calves when you climb stairs or hike hills. AFTER 8 weeks: Your calves will show more definition. ONE FOOT STAIR LIFTS: Stand w/the ball of your left foot on the edge of a step and your right foot tucked behind your left ankle. Lightly rest one or both hands on a wall or railing for balance. Slowly raise yourself onto the ball of your left foot. Pause for a beat at the top of the move, and smoothly return to the starting position. Complete one set of 12, then switch legs. TWO-FOOT STAIR LIFTS: Stand with the balls of both feet on the edge of a step and your feet shoulder width apart. Again, balance yourself with one or both hands on a wall of rail. Slowly raise yourself onto the balls of your feet. Hold the position for a second at the top of the move, then gradually lower yourself to the starting position. Do 2 sets of 12.
