Single leg calf raise

Proper posture

• Stand on one leg, with the other slightly bent or raised behind you.
• If necessary, use a support (such as a wall or bar) to maintain your balance.
• Place the ball of the active foot on a platform or step to allow full range of motion, with the free heel in the air.
• Engage your abdominals to stabilize your body.

Movement

• Push down on the ball of your foot to lift your heel as high as possible, contracting your calf.
• Lower slowly and in a controlled manner until your heel is slightly below the platform.
• Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.

Breathing

• Inhale as you lower your heel.
• Exhale as you rise onto the ball of your foot
