Faster on the trail! If you invest 25 minutes twice a week in intensive strength training at the Dr Core sports club in Munich, you will get more strength in your legs.

In our new training series, we show you how you can improve your strength and coordination. But be careful: our strength training will challenge you to the maximum. Make sure you warm up and drink enough. Have fun with your training!

Calf raises with weights

 Stand with your feet hip-width apart. The weights are on your shoulders. Thumbs point inwards. Look straight ahead. Bend your knees to 90 degrees. Your upper body remains straight - this is your starting position. Now raise your heels for 2 seconds and lower them again for one second.

Pay attention to this: Stay at a 90-degree knee angle. Knee and big toe form a line. Your back remains straight the whole time.

Duration: 2 series of 20 lifts. Lift for 2 seconds and lower for one second each time. Rest for 30 seconds between each series.
