JAKARTA - Sport is an important thing that must be done to keep the body healthy and fit. However, for sports workers it is sometimes difficult to do because of the lack of free time.

However, there's no need to worry because you can do push-up soleus, which is easy and doesn't take much time. This sport can even be done when you sit down to work. So, let's get to know more about the push-up soleus below.

Soleus push-up is a sport that is only done while sitting on a chair, focusing on foot movements. Launching from Well and Good, this movement takes advantage of the muscle of the soleus, which stretches from below the knee to the heel. This movement occurs by lifting the calf while sitting repeatedly.

How to do push-up soleus is quite easy. You can do this by sitting on a chair with the beginning of your feet treading evenly on the floor.

Then contract the calf muscle and lift the heel slowly, with the heel of the leg still touching the floor. Then lower the heel of the leg down again, and do the movement repeatedly.

Soleus push-up provides many benefits for the body, especially for the smooth running of metabolism. It is known that the metabolic process will slow down when the body sits still for a long time.

However, push-up soleus can handle it because even if you sit down, the body does a movement that can help metabolism. This movement can increase local oxidative metabolism.

Increased local oxidative metabolism can convert fat and carbohydrates into energy, without increasing blood sugar. Thus, push-up soleus can be a solution for workers who often spend their time just sitting in front of the screen.
