When we work our lower body, we usually focus on the glutes and legs. But don't forget the calves, an important, but often overlooked muscle.
Your calf muscles are responsible for supporting a lot of the load from your lower body, and they propel you forward when doing activities like walking and running.
The stronger your calves are, the faster you'll be able to run, and the less likely you'll be to get injured while working out.
Try jump squats -- a power move that targets your entire lower body and core, including your calves. With your feet hip-distance apart, lower into a squat position. With control, jump straight up and swing your arms overhead. Softly return back to your starting position and repeat.
