Who's ready to feel the burn?! 🔥 Trust me, your calves will be on fire after this one. Once this starts to become easier, you can always hold onto something heavy to increase the intensity. 5 minutes is all you need! 💃 Xx - Maddie
I am 56 years old and have only regularly exercised on and off over the course of my life. I can't always keep up with every move you do, but I appreciate the fact that I find every move you make easily modifiable and that you have a good variety on your channel of short 5 minute videos (for when I'm tired but still want to be consistent and do something) and longer ones when I have more energy. I love your channel and you are a beautiful girl ❤️
I started on nov 1st, and it’s now the 18th.. I was sup insecure abt my legs bc they are so skinny.. I took 3 rest days in the timespan AHHH IM STARTING TO SEE A MUSCLE IN MY CALVES, THEY LOOK GREAT edit: I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE BIG CALVES, THEY LITERALLY LOOK SO GOOD EDIT AGAINNN it’s been 5 months!!! I’ve been eating good, and this works so well I no longer have chicken legs 👌 this is a rlly good workout!!!! It’s so worth it, you get good results and it’s only 5 minutes 1 YEAR UPDATE!!!!!🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 so I have somehow been consistent with this, when I go to the gym I make sure to include this in my routine on leg day and it HELPED SO MUCH! I wish I took progress pics I didn’t bc I thought I was just going to forget
YAS!! More calf exercises please! I finally got calves because of your videos (a goal of mine for years) and I want to to see them grow more. I'm so happy to see this video pop up this morning. Thanks Maddie.
Ok, Maddie, let's have a serious talk now: Idk how you always know what type of workout we need😂 it looks like magic 🔮 Thanks for it💕 gonna do this today 💖
Ok I'm pretty sure now that you can read my mind: yesterday I was at my orthopedist because I've had a strong pain in my shins and calves while running and he told me to strengthen my calves. Well this is perfect now 👍🏻
Yes, me too, I have been having the same issues. Try foam rolling your shins and calves and elevating your legs for 10 mins everyday. that has also help me.
@Eileen you sure its not just muscle pain (do you run often or was it the firsttime)? Moving your leg up requires calve strength, by going down again you a lot of force is being stopped by your shin muscles
I wanted this workout!!😂 I always include a 5 min calf routine but it gets boring doing the same movement everyday.. Now you made it enjoyable tysm!!❤️
GUYS I promise this works really well- like i did it for two weeks straight and my calfs were strong and toned. but then i got lazy and stopped doing it. but i'm back again, doing this for my summer body. we can do this! 💪
Very short but EXTREMELY effective leg/calf workout. Make sure you stretch after this one. I forgot to stretch my hamstrings after this and i was sore for 4 days.
Former ballerina, stroke recovery paralysis- And this! Is far more intense than any I’ve done to date. Thank you! I was searching for ages to find someone like you and this channel!
Maddie, I love this short but effective (targeted) calf workout. The calves are often forgotten so I love that you made this specific video. would love to see more of these :)
LOVE the dancer workouts! This is probably one of my favorite workouts; quick fun challenge to toss in the middle of a workout and super adorable pup as a reward💗
I've had planter fasciits in both feet for five years, and tore my achilles tendon two years ago. I've struggled to strengthen my feet and calves with physio exercises. BLESS YOU for this. I think it's going to bring me there...
Oh my goodness! The fact that this was so hard makes me want to do it every day(ish🤣) until it's easier!!! What a great 5 minute work out to sneak into my nightly routine
Maddie you can not imagine how much i love you , your positive energy, your smile, when you say i'm with ya thank you sooooo much you're the best ever💕💕💕
*This workout works!* My calves where really unused and weak, the first time I used this workout it burn a lot, I continued doing this for more 3 days and then I stopped to take a rest for 2/3 days. I continued to use only this workout to target the calves and legs and I started noticing the muscle getting stronger and also more defined! In a week you are able to feel and see the result, which is amazing :)
I found Maddie when I was looking for workouts after I gave birth to my son. I can’t say enough good things about her attention to form and encouraging but challenging workouts. They are manageable and doable with a new baby yet extremely effective. Im forever grateful!
The Sports Science behind this workout is amazing. Isometrics, plyometrics too. The calves demand THIS workout every day atmo, and more than 5 minutes would be unnecessary (or unhelpful). Feels perfect, great work!
January 30 days workout was really really good so hopefully you do another 30 days challenge like summer workouts or any other full body for 30 days🥺 🙏 I really love your workouts ❤ thank you in advance for the challenge 🥰
This is so great for me, Madi! I've overcompensated with my quads for many years, making other parts of my legs weaker, and I'm slowly starting to target those unused muscle groups. Thank you so much for this absolute burner!
I’ve been doing this calf workout with ankle weights, two times a week for the last couple months, I seen a huge difference in my calves. Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you so much! I have been looking for strengthening exercises for my miserably thin calves. Your calves are beautiful and thanks for sharing with us this workout.
My body shape is a pear with thick calves and not much distinction between my ankles. My calves are easily the most difficult part to tone, despite me working them out almost daily & having tried a variety of exercises! Your workout is THE ONLY thing (*okay - maybe along with swimming - which isn't as handy tho, especially in the winter*), that has actually managed to tone my calves beautifully during the course of the last 3 months, in a way that still surprises me when i look at them in the mirror!! Thank you so much for this! xxxx 🙌😊🙏✨
I had knee surgery and literally lost my calf muscle- this is way more fun than my PT exercises! Can't wait until I can do the whole thing without a break! Grateful to have something to work towards-!! Thanks Maddie! And I love the new space!
need this bc I'm having a mini vacation in 20 days and probably gonna go hiking but I am VERY out of shape and losing weight makes you lose muscle as well so I desperately need this lmao. been looking up workouts but none of them focus on calves, which is used a lot when going up/down mountains! hopefully this works :)
I feel the burn!!!!!!!!!! Super fun Iove it! Thanks for the 5 mins. I can customize every workout and it's mentally easier, as I don't think "oh I have 20 mins of this or that". I do 5 then 10 then 5 then 15 or whatever! start with a 5 mins warmup and end with 5 min cool down. You are so awesome!!!!
Awesome, I’ll be doing this between my study sessions. Sitting down for so many hours is not healthy, I work out 2h every day but still my legs feel heavy because of it. I’ll definitely address this issue with your short videos, thanks for uploading!
So I’ll be posting my updates for two weeks 1. Day one not used to the positions but finished anyway 2. Trying to push some limits by opening more the feet
You have literally all I ever look for in terms of workouts! Google calf workout expecting some Popsugar workouts etc and was delighted to find this!! So lucky you make videos i LOVE them!!
New videoo, Yei, I've never seen a workout like this, I'm a ballet dancer and this is going to be very helpfull for me, thanks Mad! Btw: Do a new dance party video pleaseee LY ❤
After completing this exercise 4X I can already see a huge difference in my calves!! I never had nice calves and now they are a bit Sexy!! Thank you so much!
This is kind of workout Im doing for many years, you dont need anything for this and you can do it when you're just waiting somewhere...😁😁 But this looks like killer one, gonna try it!

I think she uses hair gel
Ballet buns are 👌
Gel, double hair tie, and hairspray

Hey Jeniffer Churchhill, how often do you do this exercise, and how many reps?
@@Winnergurl I'm not sure what you mean.
@@bubblypeach87 She was asking how many rounds of this you do at once, and how often
have you been only doing this workout for your calves or others aswell? bc im also trying to grow mine
always know it's going to be a strong work out when i see "dancer" anything in the name
Puppy is a nice reward for all of us!

Yes, me too, I have been having the same issues. Try foam rolling your shins and calves and elevating your legs for 10 mins everyday. that has also help me.
Those issues can be caused by over striding. Try shorting your stride.

I'm reading this while having really bad shin pain from running. Been struggling with this damn thing since forever 🙄

yess please 💕
Didn’t imagine I would fall in love with just a 5-min workout!
Wow! This is the first time I've seen Maddie struggle more than me in a workout. 😂
I do this workout religiously to strengthen my feet. My foot fascia feels so good afterwards!
Definitely. Should never have stopped those ballet classes!
