Calf Raises

 

Stand on the edge of a step or platform with your heels hanging off the edge. Push up onto your toes, engaging your calf muscles, and hold for a brief moment before slowly lowering your heels below the platform level. This exercise targets the gastrocnemius muscle and can be intensified by holding weights.

Seated Calf Raise

 

Sit on a chair or a bench with your feet flat on the ground. Place weights on your knees. Raise your heels off the ground, engaging the calf muscles, and hold for a short period before lowering back to the starting position. This targets the soleus muscle, which is essential for calf shaping.

Jump Rope

 

Use a jump rope and perform jumps by pushing through your toes. This high-intensity exercise increases heart rate and provides a good workout for the lower legs, promoting fat loss and muscle toning in the calves.

Box Jumps

 

Stand in front of a sturdy box or platform. Squat slightly and jump onto the box, landing softly on the balls of your feet to reduce impact. Step or jump back down. This plyometric exercise improves calf strength and explosiveness while helping burn calories.

Hill/Incline Walking

 

Walking on an incline or uphill naturally engages the calf muscles more than flat walking. This cardiovascular exercise is not only effective for caloric burn but also tones the lower legs effectively.

Step-Ups

 

Use a bench or step and place one foot on the step. Push through the heel of the foot on the step to lift yourself upward, engaging your calves. Lower back down and alternate legs. This exercise is great for building calf and thigh strength.

Donkey Calf Raises

 

Lean forward on a sturdy surface or place hands on a wall. Have a partner sit gently on your lower back or use weights. Perform calf raises, focusing on full range of motion. This variation increases resistance and works the calves deeply.

Lunges with Calf Raise

 

Step forward into a lunge position. As you push back to the starting position, raise onto the ball of the back foot, engaging the calf muscle. This combination exercise works on both the thighs and calves effectively.

Tip-Toe Walk

 

Walk forward on your tip-toes for a set distance or time. This simple exercise requires balancing while engaging your calves, helping in toning and strengthening the muscles in the lower legs.

Downward Dog Calf Stretch

 

Adopt a downward dog position with hands and feet on the ground and hips raised. Alternately bend each knee while keeping the other leg straight. This stretches and strengthens calf muscles while improving flexibility.

Premium Medication you can trust

Our weight loss medication is delivered straight to your doorstep from a state-licensed pharmacy within our reliable network, ensuring you receive your medication when you need it.

Each pharmacy in our network undergoes rigorous third-party testing through FDA and DEA certified labs. These tests focus on four key elements, ensuring both safety and efficacy for our treatments.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Calves Fat

 

Calf Raises and Seated Calf Raise

 

  • Combine Calf Raises with Seated Calf Raise to target both the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles effectively. Start with three sets of weighted Calf Raises to focus on the gastrocnemius, then transition to Seated Calf Raises with lighter weights for three sets to deeply engage the soleus. This pairing offers comprehensive muscle engagement for calf toning.

 

Jump Rope and Hill/Incline Walking

 

  • Pair Jump Rope with Hill or Incline Walking to efficiently combine cardio and strength for calf fat loss. Begin with 5-10 minutes of Jump Rope for a high-intensity workout that elevates your heart rate, followed by 15-20 minutes of Incline Walking to sustain fat burn and target the calves through natural resistance.

 

Box Jumps and Step-Ups

 

  • Combine Box Jumps with Step-Ups to enhance explosiveness and strength in your calves and thighs. Perform Box Jumps for 3 sets to work on power and caloric burn, then transition to Step-Ups for 3 sets to focus on muscle endurance and strength. This sequence builds calf muscle effectively while also engaging the thighs.

 

Donkey Calf Raises and Tip-Toe Walk

 

  • Integrate Donkey Calf Raises with Tip-Toe Walk for effective calf muscle strengthening and endurance. Start with Donkey Calf Raises for 3 sets, emphasizing range and resistance, then perform Tip-Toe Walks for 2-3 minutes to improve balance and endurance while keeping the calves actively engaged.

 

Lunges with Calf Raise and Downward Dog Calf Stretch

 

  • Align Lunges with Calf Raise and Downward Dog Calf Stretch in a balanced routine that combines strength and flexibility. Begin with Lunges incorporating Calf Raises for 3 sets to strengthen and tone, then finish with Downward Dog Calf Stretch to cool down, enhance flexibility, and prevent post-exercise stiffness.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
