A calf workout device comprises a base formed in a generally planar rectangular configuration with a toe side edge, a heel side edge, and parallel long side edges. The base includes two planar side faces which extend vertically upward from the long side edges. Each side face includes a coupling device at its approximate center point. A foot plate is shaped in a generally rectangular configuration with a toe edge, a heel edge, and parallel long side edges. The toe edge is linear and the heel edge is formed in a semi-circular configuration. The heel edge includes an upwardly extending cylindrical wall. The approximate center point of the long edges of the plate include an aperture which extends from side to side. A cylindrical axle is positioned through the foot plate with its ends coupled to the side faces. The foot plate includes a resilient device for urging the plate in one direction.

A new and improved calf workout devices comprising, in combination: a base, the base being formed in a generally planar rectangular configuration with a toe side edge, a heel side edge, and parallel long side edges, the base being positioned on the floor in the operative orientation, two side faces extend upwardly from the long side edges, the side faces being formed in a generally planar triangular configuration with two side edges of equal length, and one long lower edge, the plane of the side faces being positioned in a vertical orientation with the apex of the triangle pointing upward, each side face including a circular hole slightly below its apex and a generally rectangular aperture slightly above the center point of the lower edge, the horizontal lower portion of the base including a rubber foot pad located beneath each of its corners; a bracket, the bracket formed in the shape of an inverted Y and consisting of an upper segment and two lower segments, the lower segments being formed as generally planar rectangular bars shaped in an inverted L-shape configuration with rounded bends, each bar having an inner surface and an outer surface and including an inwardly curved rectangular notch at its lowermost extent with a circular hole located a short distance thereabove, the notch adapted to be coupled inside the rectangular apertures in the side faces, the upper segment being formed contiguously with the uppermost extents of the lower segments and positioned above the approximate center point of the peek of the base, the upper segment formed in a generally planar rectangular configuration with a plurality of downwardly angled grooves, the space between the lower segments adapted to permit the passage of a user\s foot; a foot plate, the plate shaped in a generally rectangular configuration with a toe edge, a heel edge, and parallel long side edges, the toe edge being linear and including a downwardly angled hook affixed to its center point, the heel edge being formed in a semi circular configuration to follow the contour of a user\s heel, the heel edge also including an upwardly extending semi-circular shaped wall also adapted to follow the contour of a user\s heel, the height of the edges of the wall being lower than its center point with a gradually decreasing height therebetween, the center point of the long edge of the plate including a circular aperture extending from side to side, the plate including a rubber cushion affixed to the lower surface of the center point of its heel edge, the foot plate adapted to be positioned on the base in the operative orientation; an axle, the axle formed in a long generally cylindrical configuration with a planar head at one end and a radial hole at the other end extending through its cylindrical side walls in proximity to the end, the axle including two washers cooperatively coupled thereto, the axle being positioned through the aligned apertures in the side faces and foot plate with the washers positioned on the outer surfaces of the side faces, a retainer pin shaped in a generally U-shaped configuration being releasably coupled through the circular hole in the axle to secure it in position, the axle adapted to allow pivoting of the foot plate thereabout; and a tension band, the band being comprised of flexible materials and shaped in a generally rectangular configuration with circular members at both ends, the circular members including central apertures, a ring formed at each end, each being positioned through the apertures in the circular members, with one ring being positioned in one of the grooves in the upper segment of the bracket, and the other ring being positioned on the hook on the toe edge of the foot plate in the operative orientation, the tension band adapted to stretch when the user\s foot flexes forward in the foot plate, and retract back to its original length when the user\s foot is flexed backward.
