Thank Your Calves For All They Do With This Bodyweight Leg Workout

By moving dynamically through your range of motion, the muscle will reach its full potential, Houston says.

If needed, modify this high-impact move with a low-impact variation that doesn't include jumping.

• Begin with the feet slightly wider than hip-distance apart and the toes pointing forward.
• Lower the hips down and back into a squat position while keeping the torso tall.
• Drive through the feet as you stand and lift the heels or propel off the ground.
• The arms can swing back in preparation and forward to help with momentum.
• Control your landing and reset or lower the hips immediately into the next repetition.
• Repeat for a total of 10-15 jumps.
