Position your feet hip-width apart, keeping your toes pointing forward and ensuring your heels are off the ground; this is your starting position.
Slowly raise your heels as high as possible, pushing through the balls of both feet and contracting your calves, while keeping your core tight and back straight.
Hold the peak position for a moment, and then slowly lower your heels back to the starting position, feeling a stretch in your calf muscles.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain control and proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Full Range of Motion: To get the most out of the exercise, ensure you're using a full range of motion. This means lowering your heels as far as you can to stretch the muscles, then raising them as high as you can to contract the muscles. Avoid partial reps where you're not fully extending or lowering your heels. Controlled Movement: It's important to perform the exercise slowly and with control. This is not only safer but it also makes the exercise more effective. Avoid rushing through the movement or using momentum to lift your heels. Balanced Weight: Make sure the weight you are using is balanced and not too heavy. If the weight is too heavy
