Single-leg calf raise

Target: Calves

Form tips:

• You can perform this exercise on the floor if necessary, but standing on the edge of a raised platform will make your calves work harder.
• Keep yourself balanced by holding onto something, so you can focus on good form.
• The leg you're working should be locked straight so that only your ankle moves.
• Keep it slow and controlled as you move through a full-range of motion in each direction.
• As you raise your heel, push your toes down hard. And as you lower your heel, push it down hard to ensure full calf muscle extension.
