Starting Position: Stand with your heels hanging off the back of a step, holding the wall for balance.  Lift up one foot so you are standing on one leg.

Action: Push up onto your toes as high as you can and hold for 3-5 seconds.  Then, slowly lower down as far as you can, dropping your heel lower than the level of the step. Repeat

Repetition: Repeat 10-30 times on each leg

Progression: Wear a backpack containing heavy books while doing this exercise to make this even harder
