Jump Rope

 

Jump roping is a high-intensity cardiovascular exercise that helps burn calories and strengthens the lower body, including the calves. Start by holding the jump rope handles at hip level. Jump a few inches off the ground as the rope swings under your feet. Keep your core engaged, and maintain a steady rhythm for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Calf Raises

 

Calf raises target the calf muscles directly. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Lift your heels off the ground as high as possible, balancing on the balls of your feet. Hold for a second and slowly lower down. Perform 3 sets of 15-20 repetitions.

Downward Dog Push-ups

 

Begin in a downward dog position. With your hands and feet firmly on the ground, lift your hips high, forming an upside-down V-shape. Bend your elbows and lower your arms as if performing a push-up, focusing on the stretch in your calves. Perform 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions.

Box Jumps

 

Box jumps help increase overall lower body power, focusing on the calves. Stand in front of a sturdy box or platform. Jump onto the box, landing softly on your feet. Step or jump back down. Perform 3 sets of 10 jumps.

Seated Calf Extensions

 

For this exercise, use a seated calf raise machine. Position the balls of your feet on the platform and adjust the padded lever against your thighs. Press with your toes to lift the weight, extending through the ankles. Lower slowly back to start. Do 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

Running on Incline

 

Running on an incline, whether on a treadmill or a hill, intensifies the workout on your calves. Set the incline on a treadmill or find a hill nearby. Run at a steady pace for about 20 to 30 minutes, allowing for a great cardiovascular and calf muscle workout.

Lunges with Calf Raises

 

Step forward with one leg into a lunge position. As you push off the back foot to return to standing, lift onto the tiptoe of the forward foot, engaging the calf. Alternate legs and perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions on each side.

Stair Climbing

 

Stair climbing is an effective exercise for the calves and cardiovascular system. Use a stair machine or climb real stairs. Ensure each step is powered through the balls of your feet, engaging your calves. Perform for 15-20 minutes.

Heel Drops on a Step

 

Stand on a step with the balls of your feet, allowing your heels to hang off. Carefully lower your heels as far as you can, and then lift back to the starting position. This exercise enhances ankle flexibility and strengthens calves. Perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

Hiking

 

Hiking on varied terrain strengthens and tones your whole lower body, particularly the calves. Choose a trail with good elevation gain and aim for a hike lasting 45-60 minutes. The uneven surfaces require extra engagement from your calves, providing a thorough workout.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Lower Calves Fat

 

Jump Rope and Running on Incline

 

  • Combine Jump Rope with Running on Incline to enhance cardiovascular endurance and calf engagement. Begin with jump roping for 10-15 minutes to warm up your calves and increase your heart rate. Follow this with a 20-30 minute run on an incline to maintain intensity and further target the calf muscles.

 

Calf Raises and Seated Calf Extensions

 

  • Pair Calf Raises with Seated Calf Extensions for a targeted calf muscle workout. Start with calf raises in a standing position for 3 sets of 15-20 reps to activate the calf muscles. Transition to seated calf extensions, performing 3 sets of 12-15 reps to focus on the lower portion of the calves.

 

Box Jumps and Stair Climbing

 

  • Combine Box Jumps with Stair Climbing for power and endurance. Perform 3 sets of 10 box jumps to work on explosive strength in the calves. Follow with 15-20 minutes of stair climbing to enhance endurance and engage your calves through continuous effort.

 

Downward Dog Push-ups and Heel Drops on a Step

 

  • Integrate Downward Dog Push-ups with Heel Drops on a Step to balance stretch and strength in your calves. Begin with 3 sets of 8-12 downward dog push-ups to stretch and activate the calves. Proceed with 3 sets of 15 heel drops on a step to enhance flexibility and strengthen the calf muscles.

 

Lunges with Calf Raises and Hiking

 

  • Combine Lunges with Calf Raises with Hiking for a dynamic workout blending strength and endurance. Perform 3 sets of 12 lunges with calf raises on each side to build calf muscle strength while engaging the whole leg. Follow with a 45-60 minute hike on varied terrain to challenge and tone the calves effectively.

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.
