- Keep your legs slightly bent, don't fully lock your knees, and release the safety catches.
- Push the platform forward with the balls of your feet by extending your ankles.
- Squeeze your calves at the top and pause for a moment.
- Let the platform return under control, feeling the stretch in your calves, and repeat.
