An exercise device to facilitate strengthening of a calf muscle by a user, said exercise device comprising:
- a first elongated member and a second elongated member, each elongated member having a connection end and a free end, said connection ends being pivotally coupled together, the connection end of the first elongated member directly contacting the connection end of the second elongated member,
- a securement mechanism coupled to said elongated members for selectively holding said elongated members in a plurality of fixed positions relative to each other,
- a plurality of holes extending in spaced relationship along an upper surface of each elongated member, and
- a plurality of guide members, each guide member having a post portion insertable into a selectable one of said plurality of holes such that pairs of said guide members are positionable in spaced relationship on said elongate members to form foot receiving spaces whereby feet of a user are held in a desired orientation by said guide members,
- wherein each guide member includes a recessed portion complimentary in shape to a cross section of said elongated members for receiving said elongated members when said post portion is inserted into one of said plurality of holes.
