Best Answer

calf raises (aka) toe raises are when you stand on the base of your foot and simply raise up as high as you can. Calf raises are good for increasing vertical, muscle strength and speed. some other ways to do calf raises are to stand onto a raised platform such as a step and simply raise up and hold for 3 to 5 seconds.
