Slowly raise your heels off the ground until you're standing on your tiptoes.
Hold this position for a moment, ensuring that the contraction is felt in your calves.
Gradually lower your heels back to the ground to complete one repetition.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Slow and Controlled Movements: Raise your heels off the ground and stand on your toes. Hold this position for a second and then lower your heels back to the ground. Make sure your movements are slow and controlled. Avoid bouncing or using momentum to lift your body, as this could lead to injury and decreases the effectiveness of the exercise. Engage Your Core: Keep your abdominal muscles engaged to maintain balance and stability during the exercise. This will also help to protect your lower back. Focus on the Calf Muscles: Make sure to really focus on the calf muscles during the exercise. The aim is to feel a good contraction at the top of the movement and a stretch at the bottom. Avoid shifting the effort to other parts of your body, like your hips or thighs.
