The gastrocnemius inserts at the calcaneous bone of the heel of the foot by way of the Achilles tendon. Achilles Tendon. Muscles insert to bone through their tendons. Muscle bundles are surrounded by filmy connective tissues. These connective tissues extend from the muscle and gather to form tendons. Tendons are denser and more fibrous than muscle.
Calf Muscle. The gastrocnemius is the main calf muscle you work when riding a recumbent bike. It is attached to the back of your knee and help to lift your heel and extend your ankle when your knee is straight so that you can pedal. The soleus is a smaller calf muscle, but just as important as the gastrocnemius.
