Bodyweight Standing Calf Raise.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Use a sturdy step/block and grab a wall or railing lightly for balance.

2. 02

   Place the balls of your feet on the edge with your feet hip-width apart; let your heels sink down until you feel a comfortable stretch in your calves. Keep your knees straight but not locked.

3. 03

   Press through the balls of your feet to lift your heels as high as you can, standing tall and keeping your weight even (don’t roll your ankles in or out).

4. 04

   Pause briefly at the top and squeeze your calves.

5. 05

   Lower slowly back down under control to the stretched position.

6. 06

   Don’t relax at the bottom—move smoothly into the next rep and repeat for your target reps.
