    Re: Leg exercises

    Don't know whether you can strengthen the tendon, but you can strengthen the calf muscle: stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of a step (as if climbing upstairs). Allow heels to drop - then push up slowly, hold and relax slowly. The stronger you get, the more weight you can add, i.e. use a barbell and weights.
    Simple and effective.
