Calf raise

Legseasyrepsno equipment

Standing tall with straight legs, rise up onto the balls of both feet as high as possible, pause, then lower the heels slowly back to the floor.

How to do it

1. Stand tall, feet hip width, toes forward, knees straight but not locked; hands joined palms together in front of the chest (prayer position), elbows down and out.
2. Press through the balls of the feet to lift both heels as high as possible; the whole body rises vertically.
3. Pause about 1 second at the top.
4. Lower the heels slowly until they are flat on the floor. No bouncing; knees and hips stay straight.
