Reply With QuoteI used to have these, and my fitness teacher got me to spell out the alphabet with my feet. By the end, if you really take your time, they should be burning.
Also walking on your tippy toes, on the soles of your feet, then on the left and right side of your feet also help.

shin splints
ive been getting shin splints lately. i heard its because i dont work my calves out. i work out at home, and i get frustrated cuz i dont really know anything i can do that works my calves enough. doing calf raises on flat ground is really not sufficient at all... maybe i need something to do them on? even so, it seems that what ever weight i can deadlift is not enough to do calf raises. ive tried sitting calf raises with a BB on my upper legs, but it hurts more than it works my calves. any suggestions?

I mean you just point your toe in the air and spell the letter "a" followed by the letter "b" etc. Just make the motion that you are writing the letters with your toes.
I usually do the walking thing when I stretch, before and after workouts.

I do one-legged calf raises while holding a dumbell. However, even with a 70 pound dumbell in hand I can do 20 reps. Of course, I have heard that calves respond better to higher reps because of their makeup of red muscle fibers.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
