James Dunne Calf Workout

[CBDB]

I’ve been doing these calf workouts today, starting with my calf strengthening plan of alternating this workout (to minimise any future risks of pulled calves) with the Standing Pilates workout using dumbbell weights (minimising risk of upper back pain when rowing).

This should 🤞 work as the alternating should give one muscle group a recovery day whilst I do the other one.

Having said this, a short Yoga session is still planned for every day, as is a little, but very gentle rowing workout daily. As I’m not getting out there on my jogging routes at the moment, all this should keep my fitness and muscles up and running.

The James Dunne Calf workout is a great little follow-along workout. So for anyone needing to strengthen their calves, enjoy!

Hope this helps your calf repair. Sorry you are not able to return to running yet

☺️ thank you. I can’t complain too much. I’m enjoying yoga and James Dunne and rowing.

James Dunne is awesome. I love his videos 👍 This is very useful as I hadn’t thought about targeting specific muscles in the calf. I’ll be adding this into my routine in the morning. Thank you. 👍

These are the kinds of workouts that will make you feel as if you don't have legs. I once started something similar and I couldn't walk for the day and the next. The soreness was crazy, lol. In fact, I once tried the risk of doing cardio after leg day, man it was more difficult than I thought. And this was all because of the health article I read here; totallyduh.com/cardio-after... I don't know why but when someone is doing some sort of workout, it usually looks easy. But when you try to replicate the same, it might end in disappointment.

DOMS followed by Muscle hypertrophy 👍 It's good stuff and, provided your nutrition is on point (specifically protein), then you’ll get stronger too 💪
