Calf raises

Stand up with a weight in each hand. Hold your arms next to your body. Your feet are on shoulder width. Raise your heels up so you're standing on the balls of your feet. Look for a chair or a wall or something for your support.

One sided calf raises

Same as calf raises but only one foot at a time. Your other foot may not touch the ground. This exercise is harder.

Calf raises on platform

The balls of your feet and your toes are placed on the side of a small platform. Your heels are not on the platform. The position of your heels is lower than the rest of your feet. Raise your heels up so you're standing on the balls of your feet. Support may be needed. In this exercise your range of motion is larger than the standard calf raises exercise.
