Donkey Calf Raise Overview

The Donkey Calf Raise is a powerful exercise designed to target and build the calf muscles by performing a calf raise with a forward-leaning position to maximize stretch and contraction.

Muscles Worked

Equipment Needed

Raised platform or step

How To Perform the Donkey Calf Raise

  1. Start by positioning yourself in a forward-leaning stance with your hands resting on a stable surface, such as a bench or a wall.
  2. Place the balls of your feet on the edge of a raised platform or step, allowing your heels to hang off the edge.
  3. Engage your core and keep your back straight while maintaining a slight bend in your knees.
  4. Slowly lower your heels towards the ground, feeling a stretch in your calf muscles.
  5. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible, contracting your calf muscles at the top of the movement.
  6. Hold the top position for a moment, then slowly lower your heels back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

  • Maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise to maximize muscle engagement and reduce the risk of injury.
  • Avoid bouncing at the bottom of the movement; instead, perform slow and deliberate repetitions for optimal muscle activation.
  • Ensure your knees remain slightly bent to avoid placing excessive strain on your joints.
  • Focus on a full range of motion by allowing your heels to drop below the platform and raising them as high as possible.
