Tip toe walking

Proper Position

• Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
• Slowly rise onto the balls of your feet, engaging your calves.
• Keep your back straight, core engaged, and arms at your sides or slightly raised for balance.

Movement

• Walk slowly forward while staying on the balls of your feet. Take small steps to maintain balance.
• Focus on contracting your calves with each step.
• Continue walking for the desired distance or duration.
• Slowly lower your heels back to the ground when finished.

Breathing

Tips

• Look straight ahead to maintain good posture and avoid leaning forward.
• If you’re a beginner, use a support (like a wall or bar) to help with balance.
• To increase difficulty, hold a light dumbbell in each hand or extend the duration of the walk.
• Keep movements slow and controlled to maximize calf engagement.
