FitCiStep-by-step
- Place the front half of your feet on the edge of a step or platform, letting your heels hang off.
- Take light support from a wall or railing with one hand for balance.
- Lower your heels below the level of the step to feel a stretch in your calves.
- Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels to the highest point.
- Squeeze for 1-2 seconds at the top and lower under control over 2-3 seconds.
Coaching tip
Work on the edge of a step and lower your heels below ground level; a full range of motion is the key to calf development.
