    If you have osteoarthritis, your doctor may advise you to avoid running and engage in other lower-impact activities. These include:

    • swimming
    • water aerobics
    • walking (outside or on a treadmill)
    • using an elliptical machine

    A calf raise exercise helps to strengthen your calf muscles. If yoyu're looking to add more variety to improve the strength and explosiveness in your calves, try jumping exercises such as squat jumps and jump rope movements.
