The Muscles Worked During Calf Raises. Calf raises target the muscles on the back of your lower legs. Photo Credit fatchoi/iStock/Getty Images. The calf raise exercise targets the muscles on the back of your lower legs that facilitate plantar flexion, or ankle extension. These muscles contract to lift your heels off the floor during the upward-movement phase of the exercise, and to control the speed of movement during the downward movement phase.
When walking, the calf muscles are responsible for the upward and forward momentum in the pushoff stage of walking, which raises the heel off the ground, HowStuffWorks explains. The tibialis anterior and ankle extensor muscles lift the foot and toes during the forward motion or swing phase of the leg.
